Many of Sabrina’s fans say that this song is based on her on-and-off relationship with Shawn Mendes in February 2023 and the fact that they were spotted together so many times before Mendes got back with Camila Cabello. The media says that it was a perfect choice for Sabrina and Jenna to do the video together due to Jenna’s gory history and how comical it was when Jenna set Sabrina on fire, pushed her out a window while Sabrina was doing voodoo, broke her neck, and stabbed her. The fight over one man ends with him dying, but then they happily become friends, realizing he was never worth the trouble and making multiple jokes about it after the funeral.
Jenna Ortega joined in on the music video because she liked the idea and also loved the comedy. In the song, Sabrina mostly talks about her imprint on her ex: “I heard you’re back together, and if that’s true, you’ll just have to taste me when he’s kissing you.” In her second verse, she says something that shows he still thinks of her and uses the things she used to do: “He’s funny; now all his jokes hit different / Guess who he learned that from?” She shows in multiple ways how her presence is still there.
Sabrina Carpenter and Jenna Ortega’s song “Taste” is the newest hit in 2024. The song “Taste” features a very funny and ironic video that connects to the 1992 black comedy “Death Becomes Her.” In the video, Sabrina’s ex has a new woman (Jenna Ortega), and they go hand in hand trying to kill each other, only to eventually end up killing the ex instead and becoming best friends in the end. Sabrina thought of this connection because she believed it would be funny and very fun to watch and listen to if there was more of a storybehind it, allowing people to make a connection to the 1992 comedy.
