“Who’s the cute boy with the white jacket and the thick accent?” she sang as fans speculate the lyrics are about him
Where art thou, Barry Keoghan?
The Saltburn actor, 32, was in Virginia for the Short n’ Sweet Tour on Sunday, Oct. 20, to support Sabrina Carpenter, whom he has been romantically linked to — though “on and off” — since late 2023.
While watching Carpenter, 25, from the audience at Charlottesville’s John Paul Jones Arena, Keoghan was captured in fan footage reacting to her singing “Bed Chem,” a song speculated to be about their relationship.
In the song, from 2024’s Short n’ Sweet, she sings, ”Who’s the cute boy with the white jacket and the thick accent?” — among other steamy lyrics.
As she sang those lyrics at Sunday’s concert, Keoghan appeared giddy, especially after the “thick accent” line, at which point he covered his mouth with a piece of paper to hide him either smiling or blushing.
