Everything You Need to Know About Sabrina Carpenter, Her Dating History, and More

Sabrina Carpenter popped up out of nowhere with hits like "Espresso" and "Please Please Please." However, the pint-sized pop star has been a Triple Threat since she could walk — singing, dancing, and acting on Girl Meets World. Today, we'll examine her childhood, career, and relationships. We'll try to keep it Short n' Sweet, but there is that whole Sabrina x Joshua Basset x Olivia Rodrigo love triangle and Barry Keoghan controversy to address!

Sabrina's aunt is actress Nancy Cartwright, who voices Bart Simpson in The Simpsons. Raised in nearby East Greenville, Sabrina and her sisters Sarah, Shannon, and half-sister Cayla (David's daughter from a previous relationship) were homeschooled.

As a youngster, she adored Christina Aguilera. She told Paper magazine — "I was 11 years old, and you couldn't get her name out of my mouth. She's very special to me. Those songs raised me."

She also named Rihanna's influence, Taylor Swift, and Lorde for their songwriting influence, Beyoncé's genre-bending, and R&B as her favorite genre. In a Rolling Stone interview, Carpenter said Madonna, Britney Spears, and Mariah Carey were some other artists who introduced her to pop music.

While his dreams of being a musician didn't come to fruition, David lived vicariously through his daughter, building Sabrina a purple recording studio in the basement. In 2009, Sabrina finished third on The Next Miley Cyrus Project. Her parents nicknamed her "Bumblebee" to remind her to stay humble.
