The Collaboration That Shocked the Internet: "Taste" Music Video
The moment that truly launched the "Jabrinas" (a fan-created portmanteau) frenzy was the release of Sabrina Carpenter's music video for her hit single, "Taste," in August 2024.
A Horror-Themed Rivalry. The video, which is a cinematic masterpiece inspired by horror tropes, featured Jenna Ortega as Sabrina's on-screen rival. The plot centered on a dramatic, violent, and ultimately passionate confrontation between the two stars, culminating in a highly-publicized on-screen kiss.
A "Scream Queen" Reunion. Given Jenna's established reputation as a modern "Scream Queen" from her roles in the *Scream* franchise and *Wednesday*, and Sabrina's knack for theatrical, high-concept visuals, the casting was a stroke of genius. Sabrina Carpenter herself revealed that she specifically chose Jenna for the video because it was inspired by a horror-comedy idea, making Jenna the perfect co-star to execute the vision.
Behind-the-Scenes Chemistry. While the on-screen dynamic was one of intense rivalry, behind-the-scenes footage and interviews confirmed the deep, long-standing nature of their friendship. Jenna later spilled details on how much fun they had shooting the project, further endearing the duo to fans who crave authentic celebrity friendships.
Viral Proof: The Met Gala 2025 and Beyond
While the "Taste" video was a professional highlight, their subsequent public appearances in 2025 solidified their status as inseparable best friends, fueling constant social media buzz and endless memes.
1. The Met Gala After-Party Moment (May 2025). The most recent and significant viral moment occurred following the 2025 Met Gala. After attending the main event separately, the two reunited to attend A$AP Rocky's exclusive after-party.
Platonic "Couples Dressing." They were photographed leaving the party together, with fans immediately noticing their complementary outfits. Jenna wore a sleek, dark ensemble, while Sabrina opted for a lighter, more ethereal look. This "platonic couples dressing" was hailed as a lesson in best-friend coordination, with one outlet calling them "Pure Golden Retriever Energy and Black Cat Energy" personified.
2. The "Can't Pee" Text Exchange. Further proving their bestie status, Jenna Ortega later dished on their hilarious text exchange from inside the Met Gala. She revealed they were texting each other about the common struggle of navigating the elaborate, restrictive gowns, joking, "We were kind of just texting each other like, 'Hey man, I can't pee.'" This relatable, candid detail went viral, humanizing the high-fashion event.
3. Halloween Horror Nights Outing (September 2025). Embracing their shared love for all things spooky, the duo was spotted hanging out at Universal Studios' Halloween Horror Nights in Los Angeles in September 2025. This low-key outing showed their commitment to spending quality time together, even when not on a red carpet or filming a project. They were truly embracing the spooky season like "true scream queens."
4. Squashing the Dating Rumors. The intense chemistry and frequent appearances naturally led to speculation about their relationship status, with some fans questioning if they were more than just friends. However, Jenna Ortega broke her silence on the dating rumors, confirming that they are simply close friends. This clarification cemented their bond as a powerful, platonic friendship, a refreshing change of pace in the often-dramatic celebrity landscape.
5. Admiration and Respect on Social Media. Long before the "Taste" video, their mutual admiration was evident through their interactions on social media platforms like Instagram. Their supportive comments and public respect for each other's work—Jenna's acting career and Sabrina's pop music rise—laid the groundwork for the highly-visible friendship fans see today.
