Sabrina Carpenter and Taylor Swift have grown close over the years, especially after the “Espresso” singer went on tour with T-Swift, having opened for her in various cities worldwide.

But opening up for the billionaire is more than just a career opportunity, it’s a dream come true for Sabrina. Flashback to 2009 when she covered Taylor’s “Picture to Bur𝚗,” marking the first time she publicly admired the 34-year-old. Ever since, both pop stars have connected on a more personal level.

In fact, the former Disney Channel star is often considered a miniature version of Taylor, both being blonde pop divas and having similarities in how they perform.

Despite being portrayed similarly by fans, Sabrina Carpenter clarifies that she could never compare her life and career to Taylor Swift’s.

While many may see similarities between their careers, Sabrina Carpenter can’t compare herself to the 34-year-old billionaire. “I hold her to such a different echelon,” she said of the “22” singer in a new interview with Rolling Stone. “I could never compare my life, my career, my trajectory to anything close to what she’s done.”

Sabrina has opened for Taylor on her The Eras Tour in various cities, which helped the two grow their friendship. In fact, Sabrina got to preview Taylor’s latest album, “The Tortured Poets Department.”

“She played me ‘But Daddy I Love Him’ before it came out, and that’s also one of my favorites,” she told the outlet of Taylor’s new Һit.

When they weren’t performing at sold-out concerts, Sabrina and Taylor enjoyed dinner together, visited the Sydney Zoo during the Eras Tour, and attended a Kansas City Chiefs game in October, where they were seen celebrating in a suite at MetLife Stadium. “One vоdka cranberry in me, and I’m not thinking about football,” she admitted.

Naturally, Sabrina Carpenter has gone from being a Swiftie cheering in the crowd to becoming an opener for Taylor’s Eras Tour. So, when Sabrina teamed up with Kim Kardashian’s brand SKIMS in April, many criticized her due to Kim’s past with Taylor.

However, Sabrina has addressed those bad blооd rumors, admitting she and Taylor are A-okay. “As much as people want to believe you’re tuned into every little thing, I’m not because I’m constantly working,” she told Rolling Stone. “In that scenario, I’ve been very, very communicative with her about that situation, and I just love her so much and support her till the end. So it was no weirdness for me, but I know people will just sаy things because that’s all they have time to do.”

In an interview with Apple Music, Sabrina discussed how Taylor’s album “Folklore” inspired her own music.

“Taylor Swift posted something when she released her new album in the description of when it dropped and saying like, ‘I usually would overthink the songs that I’m going to put out and release. And I just feel like nothing is certain right now and so it just felt right and I wаnted to do it.’” she told Apple Music.

“And that put me in such a good warm-hearted place where then I could listen to all these songs that I’ve been making with such a fresh perspective of like, ‘You know what, this is how I feel right now in musical form,’” she added.

One year after the interview with Apple Music, Taylor Swift sent Sabrina a care package.

“thank you blondie :’) being 22 is hitting very different right now,” the “Espresso” artist, who had just turned 22 at the time, wrote alongside a snap of the gift she received.

In 2022, the two pop divas hung out at a VMAs after party, and their friendship continued to grow from there — and going on tour with Taylor has been a dream come true for the former Disney Channel star. “Watching her is a masterclass in itself,” she said of the “Red” singer. “Obviously, she’s very good with words. So I feel a lot more comfortable that I’m going into a situation with someone that I admire so much and I’m just gonna like study.”

One of the Eras Tour shows was delayed due to rain and a nearby lightning strike, but Taylor Swift made it up to the Sydney crowd by bringing Sabrina out on stage with her.

“My incredibly talented, wonderful, gorgeous, hilarious, genius opening act Sabrina Carpenter, she heroically sacrificed her show, which I think is a crime against Sydney,” she told the crowd, per PEOPLE Magazine. “And I think it needs to be fixed, so I’m going to bring her out now, is that OK, Sydney?”

It should go without saying the crowd was on board with that idea.
