Her journey began with Hollywood Records, releasing albums like "Eyes Wide Open" and "Evolution," building a solid foundation. But in 2021, a move to Island Records ignited a new era. Her fifth album, "Emails I Can't Send," delivered the multi-platinum hits "Nonsense" and "Feather," proving her undeniable talent. Then came "Short n' Sweet" in 2024, a chart-topping sensation that dominated the US Billboard 200 and earned her two Grammy Awards, spawning global number-one singles like "Espresso" and "Please Please Please," which even hit the top of the US Billboard Hot 100. And just when we thought she couldn't reach higher, "Man's Best Friend" in 2025 also claimed the number one spot on the Billboard 200, giving us the hit single "Manchild." Beyond music, Sabrina has graced the silver screen in films like "Adventures in Babysitting," "The Hate U Give," and the Netflix hits "Tall Girl" and "Work It," even taking her talents to Broadway in "Mean Girls."
Born in Quakertown, Pennsylvania, Sabrina was raised in East Greenville with her three older sisters. Her passion for music ignited early, with her father building her a recording studio to foster her love for singing. By the age of 10, she was sharing her voice on YouTube, covering artists like Christina Aguilera and Adele. Her competitive spirit shone through in 2008 when she entered Miley Cyrus's online singing contest, "The Next Miley Cyrus Project," securing third place. This early exposure led to her first acting role on "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" in 2011, followed by a recurring role on the Fox sitcom "The Goodwin Games." Her Disney journey truly began with a recurring role as Princess Vivian in "Sofia the First," before landing the pivotal role of Maya Hart in the Disney Channel series "Girl Meets World" in 2013.

Carpenter's musical career also blossomed, releasing independent singles before signing a five-album deal with Hollywood Records in 2014. Her debut single, "Can't Blame a Girl for Trying," co-written by Meghan Trainor, set the stage for her debut EP and later her first studio album, "Eyes Wide Open," released in 2015.
The years that followed saw Sabrina release her second studio album, "Evolution," in 2016, featuring the hit singles "On Purpose" and the platinum-certified "Thumbs."

The lead single from her fifth studio album, "Skinny Dipping," was followed by "Fast Times" in 2022.

The album's singles, "Vicious," "Because I Liked a Boy," and especially "Nonsense," went viral, with "Nonsense" becoming a chart success. The deluxe edition of "Emails I Can't Send" in 2023 featured the hit single "Feather," which soared to number one on the US Pop Songs chart and number 21 on the Billboard Hot 100. Carpenter also served as an opening act for Taylor Swift's highly successful Eras Tour, calling it a "childhood dream come true."
The year 2024 proved to be a monumental one. She featured on Girl in Red's single "You Need Me Now?" before releasing her own smash hit "Espresso," which topped the Billboard Global 200 and reached number three on the Billboard Hot 100, earning her an MTV Video Music Award for Song of the Year. This was followed by "Please Please Please," which became her second global chart-topper and her first US Hot 100 number one single.

Her sixth studio album, "Short n' Sweet," debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, selling an impressive 362,000 units in its first week. All tracks from the album charted within the top 50 of the Hot 100.

Looking ahead, her seventh studio album, "Man's Best Friend," released in August 2025, also debuted at the top of the US Billboard 200.
Carpenter's artistic influences are deeply rooted in the powerhouses of pop and R&B, citing artists like Madonna, Britney Spears, Mariah Carey, and especially Christina Aguilera and Rihanna. She's also drawn inspiration from the songwriting prowess of Taylor Swift and Lorde, and the genre-bending artistry of Beyoncé. Her musical style has evolved from a teen pop sound to a more confident embrace of dance-pop, trap, hip-hop, and R&B, with elements of folk pop, acoustic, country, electropop, and house music woven throughout her discography. Carpenter's songwriting process is confessional and personal, often starting with the song's title and building from her life experiences. She's also a multi-instrumentalist, showcasing her skills on piano, bass, ukulele, guitar, and drums.

== Artistry ==
=== Influences ===
Songs of female pop artists such as Madonna, Britney Spears, Mariah Carey, and Christina Aguilera acquainted Carpenter with pop music. Carpenter named R&B as a genre that often influences her work, and cited Aguilera and Rihanna as major musical influences. She stated that Aguilera's 2002 song "Beautiful" helped her "showcase and develop [her] own voice". She has cited Taylor Swift and Lorde as her songwriting influences, while also taking inspiration from Beyoncé's genre-bending works. She claimed Swift's live performances and work ethic have inspired her. She has also named Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston and Etta James as early musical influences.
=== Musical styles ===
Early in her career, Carpenter was described as a "teen pop singer". Later on in her career, Carpenter began to embrace pop music, with I.D. writer Barry Pierce noting that after the release of Emails I Can't Send, she "can rightfully claim the title of fully fledged popstar". Variety writer Thania Garcia noted that while Carpenter was "considered a Disney princess for years, her transition from child actor to pop star [...] has been slow, steady and intentional". Carpenter felt that her transition from a Disney-star was hard, with Pierce noting that she has since had more autonomy over her work. Carpenter noted in an interview with Vogue that her "prior music put forth a facet of herself that she didn't feel was authentic at the time". Her stage presence has also been praised with Vogue writer Chelsea Sarabia noting that "as an artist and performer, [Carpenter] wields the full range of human expression as if it were an instrument of its own".
Carpenter's albums contain elements of folk pop, acoustic, country, electropop and house music. Her albums post-Singular: Act I have delved into styles such as dance-pop, trap, hip-hop, and R&B. On her sound, Carpenter noted that her music has "elements of everything". In an interview with Variety in 2024, Carpenter noted that she felt separated from her albums pre-Emails I Can't Send, noting that it was "largely due to the shift in who I am as a person and as an artist, pre-pandemic and post-pandemic". Alex Hopper of American Songwriter remarked storytelling as a motif of Carpenter's songs. Carpenter's voice has been described as a soprano.
=== Songwriting ===
Carpenter has co-written most of her songs, with sole lyricist credits for two tracks on Emails I Can't Send; she has stated in interviews that she is the main songwriter on her songs. Her preferred songwriting process is to start writing by deciding the song's title and building on from there, documenting her life experiences confessionally. Producer Jack Antonoff, who collaborated with Carpenter on the production of her sixth album Short n' Sweet, commended the way she weaved humor into her music and her songwriting voice, citing ABBA as a reference point for Carpenter when creating music. Antonoff mentioned that he worked solely on the music of "Sharpest Tool" with Carpenter handling the lyrics. Of Emails I Can't Send, Carpenter said "I would hope that if someone had never listened to my music before, and they listened to this album, they would leave it feeling like they know me better as a person."
Carpenter also worked on the compositions of some of her songs, including "Espresso" and "Please Please Please". She also performs her own musical accompaniment, with musical knowledge of the piano, bass, ukulele, guitar, and drums. She played the guitar during her set on the Short n' Sweet Tour, and played the piano and electric guitar during her Coachella set in 2024.

Half of the earnings from Carpenter's 2024 espresso-flavored ice cream collaboration with Van Leeuwen Ice Cream went to the Ali Forney Center, a nonprofit organization focused on supporting homeless LGBTQ+ youth. Carpenter's partnership with HeadCount had more voter engagements for the 2024 United States presidential election than any other artist that year.
