Sabrina Carpenter is an American pop singer and actress. Like Miley Cyrus and Olivia Rodrigo, she started her career as a child actor on the Disney Channel. Her first song was released in 2014, when she was 14 years old; she spent the next decade exploring modes as varied as folk and electronic dance music before breaking through.
Her album "Short n' Sweet" (2024) topped the charts in 19 countries. Three songs from the record—"Espresso", "Please Please Please" and "Taste"—were her first to rank in the top five of the Billboard Hot 100, and all charted simultaneously. Ms Carpenter became the first solo performer to achieve this feat; the Beatles are the only other act to have managed it.
In the first half of 2022, her songs were streamed 73m times in America; by the same period in 2025, that number had jumped to 1.9bn.
"Man's Best Friend" (2025) is her seventh studio album. She works with producer Jack Antonoff (who also works with Taylor Swift). Her music is characterised by witty, flirtatious lyrics and a whimsical quality. On stage she prances about in corsets and mini skirts; on the "Short n' Sweet" tour she wore custom lingerie made by Victoria's Secret.
