Sabrina Carpenter : A Vibrant Journey Through the Career and Influence of a Pop Princess
by Selena Fragassi
From the main character's best friend to Grammy Award winner, Sabrina Carpenter won two Grammys in 2025 for Best Pop Vocal Album for Short n' Sweet and Best Pop Solo Performance for "Espresso." With a number of catchy singles featuring tongue-in-cheek lyricism, it is no surprise that Sabrina Carpenter has made a name for herself as a modern pop princess. But did you know, before her rise on the music charts, Carpenter was also an actress on the Disney Channel? (It seems, while she was making a name for herself as an actress, she really was working late...cause she's a singer.) With a rocket ship rise to fame, Sabrina Carpenter is a visually dynamic biography of the star, documenting her first recording contract and her famous friends and relationships, and detailing one of the most talked about talents who has left "quite an impression" on Hollywood.
