Did Joshua Bassett dedicate a song to Olivia Rodrigo?

“Joshua, stop. It’s been four years since she stopped driving past your house“: these are the words of a user under Joshua Bassett’s latest post. This is a clear reference to the song “Drivers license” by Olivia Rodrigowhich just 4 years ago, began the famous drama that also involved Sabrina Carpenter. Why go back to talking about it again after so long? It seems that the singer wanted to remove some pebbles from his shoes and talk about Rodrigo in his latest piece, but let’s proceed in order.

Just yesterday, Joshua posted a carousel video on TikTok to share a spoiler of his new song. So far everything is normal, you might say, but there is one detail that certainly hasn’t gone unnoticed. The first slide chosen by Bassett is in fact taken from “High school musical” the series, where he met Olivia Rodrigo within the cast. In this scene, we see it intent on looking Rodrigo in the eyes. “Four years went by in the blink of an eye / We were young until we weren’t / It was fun until I got hurt“: this is the verse that the boy selected in the spoiler shown to his fans, who were quick to make hypotheses about his relationship with Olivia.

But it doesn’t end here. In another video in which Joshua Bassett sings the first notes of “The Golden Years“, he decided to wear a shirt with the number 17. In a short time, users pointed out that 4 years ago Olivia was, in fact, 17 years old and at the same time four years ago it was right around the time Olivia and Bassett had a fling.

There are those who think it’s one coincidence and that the boy just wanted to remember the old times in a special way. However, there is no shortage of community hypotheses. In fact, the singer has recently started a relationship with Louis Patridge, to whom she also dedicated a romantic song “So American”. Others believe that Bassett still has feelings for her. What do you think about it?
