Sabrina Carpenter is someone who needs no introduction. Over the past couple of years, she’s dominated headlines and won countless awards.

But what led to Carpenter’s sudden rise in popularity?

To put it simply, Carpenter understands the difference between being a singer and being a star. She’s a performer in every sense of the word. Confidence, humor, pizzazz—she’s got it all.

Her many talents are no surprise. She’s been in the entertainment scene since she was young, first earning recognition on Disney Channel’s Girl Meets World. It was also around that time that she first began to make music with the release of her album Eyes Wide Open.

She’s been an inspiration to women, in particular, by proudly embracing her femininity and not shying away from being herself onstage.

Currently, Carpenter has released a total of seven albums.

Even casual music listeners will recognize Short n’ Sweet, the album that won Best Pop Vocal Album at the 2025 Grammy’s. It features “Espresso”, “Please Please Please”, “Bed Chem”, and many other songs that had everyone singing all summer long.

Her latest release, Man’s Best Friend, has also amassed lots of attention. The single from the album, “Manchild”, debuted at the top spot of the Billboard Hot 100. While some controversy came with the album, it has been an overall success and introduced many new favorites to Carpenter’s listeners.

Texas is getting a “Taste” of Carpenter’s spellbinding music very soon! She’ll be playing at Austin City Limits on October 4, and you don’t want to miss it!

If she continues on this trend of stardom, who knows? Taylor Swift and Ariana Grande may just have to watch out as Carpenter rises through the ranks of leading women in the music industry.
