Sabrina Carpenter has been everywhere lately. She’s been making waves in the entertainment scene, from her ‘Short N Sweet’ tour to her stellar looks on the red carpet. I’ve known her since her Disney Channel days (Girl Meets World shoutout!) and her early music such as ‘Wild Side’ and ‘Thumbs’ were THE songs when I was 8. As I grew up, she grew up with me with her ‘Sue Me’ era, her ‘Fast Times’ debut, and then ‘because i liked a boy’ – but for some reason, it was her ‘Nonsense’ and ‘Espresso’ eras that really got me. I’m hooked. Everything she does, I love. I haven’t been able to connect with many other artists in my life in the way that I connect with her – her brand, personality and aesthetic resonate with me deeply. I’m quite literally in love with her, and let me tell you why!
