Early Life and Family
Carpenter was born in Quakertown, Pennsylvania, the daughter of David and Elizabeth Carpenter, and grew up in East Greenville with three older sisters. Her aunt is Nancy Cartwright, the longtime voice of Bart Simpson. Sabrina posted her first singing video online at eight, placed in a Miley Cyrus-hosted singing contest, and began booking acting roles in her early teens.
Girl Meets World and the Disney Years
Her breakthrough role was Maya Hart, the rebellious best friend in Disney Channel’s Girl Meets World (2014–2017). In parallel she recorded for Hollywood Records — the albums Eyes Wide Open (2015), Evolution (2016), and Singular Acts I and II (2018–2019) — and acted in films including The Hate U Give, building a loyal fanbase while learning the business from inside the Disney system.
Espresso and the Short n’ Sweet Era
Signing with Island Records changed the trajectory. Emails I Can’t Send (2022) produced the sleeper hits ‘Nonsense’ and ‘Feather’, and opening for Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour in 2023–2024 put her in front of stadium crowds. Then came 2024: ‘Espresso’ became the song of the summer, ‘Please Please Please’ gave her a first Billboard No. 1, and the album Short n’ Sweet topped charts worldwide and won the Grammy for Best Pop Vocal Album, with ‘Espresso’ winning Best Pop Solo Performance. Her seventh album, Man’s Best Friend, followed in 2025 and debuted at No. 1.
