Sabrina Carpenter might not have confirmed the Barry Keoghan dating rumors, but her recent comments at the Dublin show hinted at a possible split. Carpenter, who just kicked off the European leg of her Short n’ Sweet Tour in Keoghan’s homeland on Monday, seemingly dissed him by saying, “Irish boys are hard work.” Shortly after making the remark, she delivered one of her iconic dance numbers and performed her smash hit “Please Please Please.” Ironically, the track’s music video featured the Irish actor, further fueling the speculation.
Sabrina Carpenter takes a dig at ‘Irish boys’ after Barry Keoghan breakup rumors
On Monday night, Sabrina Carpenter seemingly took a dig at “Irish boys” during her Dublin show in light of rumors about her split with Barry Keoghan. Marking the first show of the Short n’ Sweet Tour’s European leg, she delivered a rocking performance at the Irish capital’s 3Arena but not before supposedly dissing Keoghan. At the show, Carpenter made certain suggestive comments that further fueled breakup rumors months after a source confirmed to PEOPLE in December that the two “decided to take a break.”
According to the Mirror, the singer addressed the audience during the show, “Dublin, it’s so lovely to be here.” She then praised the crowd, adding that they “all look and sound amazing” before joking how “these Irish boys are hard work.” The remark seemed like an obvious jab at her rumored ex-boyfriend, Keoghan, who hails from Summerhill, Dublin. The outlet reported that shortly after the comment, the Grammy winner ironically performed “Please Please Please.” The Oscar-nominated actor starred in the song’s music video.
Previously, in December, PEOPLE stated that a source confirmed Sabrina Carpenter and Barry Keoghan split a year after dating rumors began. The insider noted, “They are both young and career-focused, so they’ve decided to take a break.” While Carpenter and Keoghan never confirmed their rumored romance, they shared words of support for each other. The two have not yet commented on these breakup rumors.
