Whether you know her from her early acting days on Disney Channel or from recent pop hits like “Espresso” and “Manchild,” Sabrina Carpenter has firmly established herself as a major force in pop music. After spending nearly a decade building her career, she finally reached mainstream success in 2024.
Sabrina began her music journey at just 14 years old with her debut album Eyes Wide Open in 2015, followed by EVOLution in 2016, all while starring in Girl Meets World. Over the next several years, she continued to mature artistically, refining her sound and songwriting. This growth became especially clear after signing with Island Records and releasing Emails I Can’t Send, an album praised for its honest lyricism and emotional depth. Despite rumors and public speculation involving another major artist, the project marked a strong comeback and helped reframe her image as a serious songwriter.
One of the biggest boosts to her career came when she joined Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour as an opening act. Performing in front of massive audiences significantly expanded her fan base and introduced her music to millions of new listeners.
In 2024, Sabrina released Short n’ Sweet, the album that truly solidified her pop stardom. The project featured chart-topping songs such as “Espresso,” “Please Please Please,” and “Taste,” all of which were accompanied by high-profile music videos starring well-known actors. Fans connected deeply with the album’s themes of heartbreak, self-discovery, and love. That same year, she performed at major festivals, including Coachella, helping her reach an even broader audience.
Now recognized as a leading pop artist, Sabrina has received multiple Grammy nominations, marking a milestone she has worked toward for over ten years. After earning her first Grammy wins recently, her continued nominations and appearances signal that her long-awaited place in the industry has finally arrived. With over a decade of dedication behind her, Sabrina Carpenter’s success feels both earned and overdue.
