opinion on sabrina carpenter?

She’s one of my guilty pleasures ngl. I love her rnb/pop sound, vocals, aesthetics, etc. I will say, she’s been trying to become mainstream for sooo long & it’s just not happening for her. I personally thought Nonsense deserved better (it didn’t chart, which I thought was disappointing) & her emails i can’t send album is just solid overall. I also love Singular Act 2 & some of the tracks from SA1. Her performances are super fun, and she has a really charismatic personality.

Allegedly her former label mishandled her promotion (id believe it) so she recently switched, so we’ll see. I guess I can kind of see why she’s not a main pop girl—she’s obvi talented, but she doesn’t stand out & I don’t think she ever had a “right place, right time” moment like her contemporaries. She gets compared to Ariana Grande a LOT (most pop girls do), & a big reason Ariana Grande soared to massive stardom during her thank u, next era is bc of the Pete Davidson/Mac Miller drama (altho she was big before then too, for her vocals). Same w Olivia Rodrigo even, if it weren’t for that whole thing I don’t think driver’s license would’ve been as big.

On paper I get why Sabrina might just live out her career as a B-list pop singer, but it does kind of make me sad bc she has a lot of potential and it would be nice to see her break out 😭 but that’s just me being biased, i don’t think she offers that much new unfortunately (I don’t think Olivia does either, but I’m not into her rock pop sound at all so wtv). BUT tldr I think Sabrina’s sick. Would def rec her music to anyone who likes the airy pop/rnb blend

#im a big sc fan like i genuinely adore her music #but I can still recognize that she always consistently just gave us solid music #not outstanding music #which is probably why she never had her big moment #a big part of it is just luck too #ask
