'The [dating] pool is the pool, and when you meet people that feel authentic and are so brilliant and amazing in every way, that's what you do'.
'Obviously, I write songs about exactly how I feel, so I guess I can't be so surprised that people are interested in who and what those songs are about. That's something that comes with the territory.'

On April 1, the former Disney Channel star modeled the Stretch Lace campaign for Kim Kardashian's shapewear brand SKIMS, which outraged Swifties considering their ongoing feud which began way back in 2016.
'As much as people want to believe you're tuned into every little thing, I'm not because I'm constantly working. In that scenario, I've been very, very communicative with [Taylor] about that situation, and I just love her so much and support her till the end,' Sabrina explained.

'So it was no weirdness for me, but I know people will just say things because that's all they have time to do.'
It comes afterSabrina's bodyguard was seen accidentally hitting a fan in the face with an umbrella while shoving photographers out of her wayas she arrived atLondon's BBC Radio 1 Studios on Tuesday.
She was lead into the building by a muscular security guard, who shoved photographers and by-standers into a surrounding crowd.
But as the star made her way into the building, an umbrella that a bodyguard was using appeared to hit a member of the public in the face, who was stood on the side of the crown holding onto a white cane.
The member of security wore a black jacket and held a blue umbrella in an attempt to block any sight of the blonde artist.
The member of the public shouted 'woah my eye like' as another member of staff quickly checked the man was ok.
As the commotion transgressed, Sabrina ducked her head and clutched onto her guards.
For her arrival at the broadcast studio, she wore a cute baby pink skin-tight co ord.
MailOnline has contacted Sabrina's representatives for a comment.
