Looks like there might be some Nonsense going on between Sabrina Carpenter and Shawn Mendes!
On February 27th, photos emerged of the singers running errands together in L.A. this past weekend.

While Sabrina and Shawn did not hold hands or pack on the PDA during their outing, the photos come one week after someone sent an anonymous tip to Deux Moi claiming the two were spotted on a date.

These romance rumours come off the back of whispers that Shawn has been dating his 51-year-old chiropractor, Dr. Jocelyne Miranda, since last summer.
Sabrina and Shawn’s outing also comes after Sabrina faced scrutiny for her musical performance on BBC’s Live Lounge, where she performed a cover of Harry Styles’ Late Night Talking and her own song Nonsense.
Known for ad-libbing alternate endings for Nonsense depending on where she’s performing the song, Sabrina said, “I am American. I am not British. So BBC stands for something different. This Live Lounge just so lit because I’m in it.”
‘BBC’ in America can sometimes be a sexual reference.
The British Broadcast Corporation has since edited the performance to remove her statement.
BBC Radio 1 has deleted Sabrina Carpenter’s Live Lounge performance of “Nonsense” on YouTube after her ad-libbed outro was deemed inappropriate:

One month later, Shawn addressed the relationship rumours in an interview for the Dutch television program, RTL Boulevard, which aired on March 17th.
“We are not dating,” Shawn said in response to a question about the nonsense singer. “But I think we should talk about Tommy Hilfiger probably more than Sabrina.”
The artist appeared on RTL Boulevard to promote his new ’90s-style collaboration with the fashion house.
Though Sabrina and Shawn may or may not have been together, some fans are convinced this rumoured romance was more of a PR move to deflect from the current news about the two.
