The song was a huge hit with fans, and arguably shot Sabrina into worldwide stardom, with the song now certified Silver in the UK, and Platinum in the US, with the music video having accumulated almost 60 million views.

'Espresso'

'Espresso' was Sabrina's next huge hit, with her showcasing the tune during her performance at Coachella 2024. A TikTok viral bop, the song is set to feature on her upcoming sixth album 'Short n' Sweet'.

Who is Sabrina Carpenter dating?

As of 2024, Sabrina is currently dating Irish actor Barry Keoghan, who is famed for his role in 2023's hit film Saltburn, alongside Aussie actor Jacob Elordi, and his short appearance as The Joker in 2022's The Batman, alongside Robert Pattinson - a role he is thought to reprise in the upcoming sequel.

Rumours that Sabrina and Barry were dating began in late 2023, when they were spotted out and about with one another, looking pretty smitten. Their romance was later confirmed as they appeared on multiple red carpets together - including the Meta Gala 2024 and the Vanity Fair Oscar Party. Then, in an iconic Sabrina manner, she had Barry star in her music video for the single 'Please Please Please'.

Like many of our favourite celebs, Sabrina's love life so far has been a fruitful mix of confirmed romances and rumoured flings. Following a publicly confirmed relationship with a fellow Disney star, Bradley Steven Perry, in 2014, there was later speculation around her connection to High School Musical The Musical The Series star Joshua Bassett in 2020.

Although neither of the pair confirmed - or denied 👀 - the romance, they appeared very close and often posted each other on their social medias. The pair's alleged relationship got many fans talking at the time, with rumours swirling that Sabrina is 'that blonde girl' mentioned in Olivia Rodrigo's 'drivers licence'.

Fans believed Olivia and Joshua were in a relationship, prior to him being connected to Sabrina - and with 'drivers licence' thought the be about her breakup with Josh, many believe Sabrina to be 'that blonde girl, who always made me doubt'.

The fan theories continue as others suggest Sabrina's track 'Skin' is the singer's response - including lyrics such as: 'Maybe we could've been friends, if I met you in another life. Maybe then we could pretend there's no gravity in the words we write. Maybe you didn't mean it, maybe blonde was the only rhyme'.

What are her funniest quotes?

As well as being a talented actress, singer and songwriter, Sabrina has also become well-known for her hilarious sense of humour, delivering some classic one-liners that have gone TikTok viral plenty of times.

Whether it's witty remarks, improvised lyrics or simply catchy lines of her songs, here's a few of her best viral quotes...

During performance on Saturday Night Live on 18th May 2024, who can forget her iconic: "I'm on SNL and you're not!"

And at Coachella 2024, Sabrina once again went viral for improvising the 'Nonsense' outro, singing: "He's drinking my bathwater like it's red wine, Coachella see you back here when I headline!"

And, of course, the iconic: "I'm working late, 'cause I'm a singer", from her Number 1 hit 'Espresso'.

Speaking about her short feature in the popular Disney show, Sabrina told WIRED: "It's interesting, 'cause I ended up working with the creators, Dan and Swampy, of Phineas and Ferb on my next animated series Milo Murphy's law, but I was just like a small guest role. I went in for the day, and it was kind of like one of my first voiceover jobs where they just had me do a bunch of like random voices.

"I literally don't even remember who I even played, but there's like, throughout a few different episodes, me as just random guest things", continuing: "If you find it, let me know!"
