Tabatha Taylor, a 25-year-old from Arkansas, has found herself at the center of a fascinating internet phenomenon. She has been repeatedly told that she looks strikingly similar to both pop star Sabrina Carpenter, 25, and Irish actor Barry Keoghan, 32. At first, she took the comparisons as a compliment, but as they continued, they became a topic of much discussion.

Appreciating the Compliments

Taylor has been open about her feelings regarding these likenesses. She said, "I do see it as I think I have his eyes and her face shape—but I wish I had her voluminous hair. I think Sabrina is super pretty, Barry not as much. But I do see the similarities with our eyes and coloring of our features." She appreciates the comments and sees them as a form of recognition.

The Dating Rumors

Dating rumors between Carpenter and Keoghan started swirling in December 2023 when they were spotted having dinner together in California. They kept fans guessing for a while as they didn't officially confirm their relationship and often attended red carpet events separately. The Oscar-nominated actor was seen watching Carpenter as she supported Taylor Swift on the Eras Tour, and he even appeared in the music video for her single "Please Please Please" in June. But now it seems their year-long relationship has come to an end.

Social Media Reaction

After posting about the resemblance on Instagram, Taylor was left in awe of the response. Many of her friends agreed with the comparisons, but her parents and boyfriend "don't really see it." The clip went viral with more than 5.2 million views and 254,000 likes at the time of writing. Internet users were astounded by the resemblance, and one comment read, "I really waited thinking I wasn't gonna see it, but now I can't unsee it!" Another person wrote, "I see Sabrina a lot. But, you’re also your own kind of ethereal."

Criticism and Her Response

Of course, Taylor also received some criticism. Some internet users accused her of getting plastic surgery to look like Carpenter. But she insists that's untrue, and the only cosmetic procedure she's had to date is lip filler. She has also been likened to singer and actress Dove Cameron, and Oscar winning actress Jennifer Lawrence. Taylor enjoys sparking the debate online but has no plans to impersonate Carpenter anytime soon. She said, "I really wish Sabrina or Barry had seen my video and reacted in some way. That would’ve been really cool. I’m actually an aspiring musician and I really look up to Sabrina, so to be told I look like her is definitely a huge compliment."The viral Instagram video has amassed over 1,000 comments so far, leaving many people utterly amazed by the resemblance. It truly is a unique and captivating story that has captured the attention of the internet.
