If you followed the pop music scene at all between 2024 and 2025, you’ve likely heard the name Sabrina Carpenter. Once a beloved face on Disney Channel, this singer has now become a global name. Her voice, stage confidence, and knack for creating something different at every show have made her a part of today’s pop culture. In 2025, Sabrina is more than just a singer; she’s a name that trends weekly for various reasons.
Initially a TV Star, Now a Global Pop Singer
Sabrina Carpenter’s career began in television. She gained recognition on the Disney Channel series Girl Meets World. Back then, she was known for her bubbly and innocent character. But gradually, she turned to music and carved out her own niche. Her music has always been personal, with songs that speak to relationships, confidence, and independence.
In the late 2010s, she was slowly moving away from her Disney image. However, the real change occurred around 2023, when she surprised audiences with the album “emails I can’t send.” This album was honest, full of emotion, and a strong step towards her becoming a true artist.
2024 to 2025 The ‘Short n’ Sweet’ Era
In 2024, Sabrina released her new album Short n’ Sweet. This album catapulted her career to new heights. It included her hit songs “Espresso” and “Please Please Please,” which became a social media sensation within days of release.
“Espresso” made Sabrina everywhere on TikTok and Instagram. People were not only creating Reels for the song, but also talking about its lyrics and style. The song had a light tone, but it had a confident and playful vibe, a perfect fit for her personality.

The second song, “Please Please Please,” set the internet on fire. Both its lyrics and video went viral. The song told a story about herself and her boyfriend, Barry Keown. Barry, known for his dark and mysterious roles in Hollywood, made his first appearance with Sabrina in the video. Their chemistry was so natural that it kept people talking on social media for weeks.
The biggest highlight of 2024–25 was her Short n’ Sweet Tour. The tour became famous not only for its music but also for its viral moments.
In every city, Sabrina would bring something new to her show, sometimes chatting with a fan between songs, or sometimes singing her old songs in a new way. But some memorable moments made headlines on the internet.
During one show, before singing “Espresso,” she said, “This song has replaced my caffeine.“ The line was so simple that it was shared thousands of times. Then, once, she changed her own line on stage to add some humor, and the clip was viewed millions of times on TikTok.
Fans also created many memorable moments during her tour; some would come dressed as “Espresso,” others would hold signs with the lyrics “Please Please Please.” The tour wasn’t just a musical journey, but also a social media phenomenon.
Austin City Limits (ACL) When the Crowd Went Wild
In late 2024, Sabrina performed at the Austin City Limits Festival. Her appearance on stage on a hot day, in front of a crowd of thousands, was the turning point of the festival. She sang songs like “Espresso” and “Feather” with such confidence that people were left talking for hours.
Another moment from that same ACL show went viral. She smiled at the crowd and said, “You all look like my favorite cafe.” It was a simple line, but her delivery was so natural that it instantly caught on with the internet. The very next day, #SabrinaAtACL began trending on Twitter (now X).

Sabrina stole the show at the MTV Video Music Awards 2024. She performed both “Espresso” and “Feather.” Her confidence and energy on stage were such that the audience stood up.
Her dress, smile, and the timing of the song – everything was so perfect that the next day, almost every entertainment site declared her the “highlight moment” of the show. It was that night when everyone realized that Sabrina was no longer just an aspiring singer but an artist who had fully established herself.
Sabrina’s trending isn’t just due to her music. Her social media savvy is also very sharp. She often posts photos or updates that connect with fans, sometimes sharing a selfie with a slight smile or a short video from backstage at a concert.
In early 2025, a video of her performing the dance moves to “Espresso” garnered millions of views within a few hours. Interestingly, she never took social media seriously, yet her posts always go viral. Perhaps this ease sets her apart from other artists.
Sabrina Carpenter is now more than just a pop singer. She’s a part of trends from fashion to meme culture. Numerous fashion brands have collaborated with her, and she consistently maintains a fresh and stylish approach.
Each of her songs becomes a mood, from melodies like “Feather” to storytelling songs like “Please Please Please.” She sings, but also lives each line as if it were her own experience.
Preparations are underway for the second leg of her tour in 2025, and fans are already rushing to buy tickets. #ShortNSweetTour2 is trending on social media, and it’s expected that this tour will be even bigger than the last.

Today, Sabrina Carpenter isn’t just a singer; she’s a mood. Whether someone’s playing her songs or copying her dance moves, she’s bound to be a part of a trend.
