Here's everything you need to know about 'Short N' Sweet' Sabrina Carpenter!
Sabrina Carpenter is the 'it girl' - opening for music mogul Taylor Swift on the Eras Tour will do that for you - but Sabrina has been making waves in the industry for years so she really is the one to credit for her rise to mega stardom.
Her career started out on Disney back in the early 2010s starring as a lead character in Girl Meets World and Adventures in Babysitting, she has since been in films like The Hate You Give, Tall Girl and many more.
The 5ft pop princess is like a little pocket rocket on stage as she sports iconic fits for every single performance. We know that this girl sing, act and dress but what don't we know? Here's everything you need to know about Sabrina.
Despite a viral post on X going around saying, "People not knowing Sabrina carpenter and Meryl Streep are related is so funny to me, they literally look so similar", we can confirm they are not related.
The only link they have right now is that Sabrina's 'Taste' music video was inspired by the cult classic film Death Becomes Her starring Meryl.
At the time of writing Sabrina is 25 years old. She was born on May 11th 1999 making her a Taurus.
Sabrina is basically a USA girlie through and through since she was born in Quakertown, Pennsylvania, US. However her grandparents are said to have some Austrian and German roots.
The former Disney star's height is just 5ft (1.52 metres). Her tiny height makes her a perfect match for her Irish boyf Barry who is 5ft 6 inches (1.71 metres).
Her song 'Taste' confirms her height where she sings, 'I make quite the impression, 5 feet to be exact'.
Sabrina has been dating Saltburn actor Barry Keoghan since December 2023 and although they haven't publicly announced their relationship they've made their relationship clear, especially during Sabrina's birthday celebrations.
They have been photographed at various after parties together and Barry is often showing up to support Sabrina at shows. Most recently he popped into her Vogue 'get ready with me' video to give her a kiss before the Met Gala – cute!
Barry has been acting since 2011 and has even received an Oscar nom for his performance in The Banshees of Inisherin.
Recently, the pair sparked break up rumours however they seem to have firmly shut those down for the time being.
Sabrina Carpenter Answers Fans Emails
Sabrina has three older sisters; Cayla Carpenter, Shannon Carpenter and Sarah Carpenter.
Sarah, 27, was in the Disney show Girl Meets World with Sabrina, she played a small role but occasionally had some lines. As well as acting she also practices photography and often takes snaps of her younger pop star sister.
Shannon, 30, is a dancer and choreographer as well as having a strong social media presence. Cayla, 32, who is Sabrina's only half-sister, is a make-up artist and hair stylist.
The famous Bart Simpson from The Simpsons is voiced by actress Nancy Cartwright who happens to be Sabrina's aunt. In an interview with Wired Sabrina simply answered, "It's my dad's sister" before calling her aunt a "legend".
"She's the voice of Bart Simpson, don't know if you've ever heard of him," she quipped. "And then like also 89 other characters on the Simpsons and a bunch of other shows and like Rufus and Kim Possible and Chuckie in the Rugrats like everything literally. So legend."
The Pennsylvania born sweetheart, doesn't have any relation to the musical duo Karen and Richard Carpenter, of Carpenters from California. Her famous family seems to start and stop with Nancy Cartwright.
In 2014 Sabrina dated Good Luck Charlie actor Bradley Steven Perry before calling it quits in 2015.
Later she dated Griffin Gluck who she met on the set of Netflix's Tall Girl. They never addressed their relationship but it's said they ended things during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.
Then of course in 2020 it was rumoured that she was dating High School Musical: The Musical: The Series actor Joshua Bassett after they were pictured having lunch together and attending BLM protests. This of course put her in a 'love triangle' with Olivia Rodrigo.
And, to a lot of people's surprise, Sabrina dated singer Shawn Mendes in 2023. A lot of the songs on her latest album 'Short N' Sweet' are speculated to have been penned about her romance with Shawn.
There are a lot of rumours spiralling online about Sabrina supposedly having plastic surgery but she has not confirmed this. In 2023 a blind item was linked to the singer which claimed a young former Disney star had started getting filler.
TikTok sleuths have taken to the app with conspiracies as to what she has or hasn't had done. One commenter said: "I see eyebrow lift, cheek filler, lip filler, and Botox."
However, these people aren't plastic surgeons and we can't confirm this as a fact!
The 'Nonsense' singer has quite an extensive discography since she has been putting out music since 2012. She has two EP's 'Can't Blame A Girl For Trying' and 'Fruitcake'.
Sabrina has six studio albums, but only two that were produced outside of her Disney contract, that is 'Emails I Can't Send' and 'Short N' Sweet' which have been her most popular releases to date.
