Singer-songwriter Rita Ora has spoken about her relationship with huge artist, cheekily admiting that they are now too busy to text her back. She brought up Sabrina Carpenter whilst talking about a party she once hosted.

Sabrina, 26, was a New Year’s Eve party that Rita, 34, was once hosting in New York. She claimed that the party was already in place at the end of 2023, prior to the success of Sabrina’s song Espresso, which topped the charts after its release in April of last year.

Sabrina appeared on Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve 2024 at the end of 2023, with the show having been co-hosted by Rita and Ryan Seacrest for the last two years. Sabrina performed a medley of her songs Feather and Nonsense, before speaking to Rita in the live broadcast.

On the podcast In Your Dreams With Owen Thiele, Rita mentioned Sabrina attending her party, which she claimed was held at a house with a basketball court. She teased Sabrina for not responding to her texts before calling it “joking.”

Owen Thiele, a host of the podcast, admitted to trying to get an invitation to the party. He continued, “I’ve heard you’re having a New Year’s Eve party.” I did, indeed, I do have them, Rita responded. Oh no, because I did the [live TV] show.

Owen responded, “I didn’t realize you were hosting the f***ing ball drop.” I texted you while trying to be sneaky, saying, “wait, I just saw you in New York.” Literally, to try to get a party invite on New Year’s Eve.

The actor continued, asking Rita, “And you go, babe, are you at the ball drop?” ‘. Then I turn on the TV and realize that she is hosting the ball drop. ‘”. She continued, “Yeah, and I couldn’t text back because it’s like live TV.”

In the episode that was released this month, Owen continued, “I was so embarrassed but then you invited me and then I came.” Sabrina arrived, Rita said. And it was “amazing” as well.

Rita continued, “This was like, I believe, the peak before it became Espresso, and then everybody is like can’t get hold of Sabrina anymore.” She laughed out loud, “But it was the time when she would text me back.”

She continued, “No, I’m joking.” Owen asked, “Can I tell you something, about Sabrina?” She is Hollywood’s busiest woman.

Rita responded, stating that Sabrina had been “exaggerating” and that she had been texting her back. She responded, “No, I get it.” I’m also busy. No I’m so… I’m exaggerating. She responds via text. She is incredibly sweet.
