Insanely catchy songs? Check. Immaculate bangs? Check. Disney credentials? Check.

If you haven’t already guessed, we’re talking about Espresso songstress and former Girl Meets World star Sabrina Carpenter.

With an impressive 34 million followers on Instagram, a string of sensational studio albums, and multiple acting awards under her belt, Sabrina has taken the entertainment world (and social media) by storm.

But how much do you really know about this caffeine-loving star?

Who is she dating? Who is her famous aunt? And what caused her to ruffle a few feathers back in 2023?

Let’s dive into some lesser known facts about everybody’s favorite Gen-Z IT girl: Sabrina Carpenter!

1. She Pretends to be “Mrs. Doubtfire”

Although Sabrina’s real name is actually ‘Sabrina Annalynn Carpenter,’ she’s been known to make hotel bookings under the alias “Mrs. Doubtfire.” Spilling the tea to Vanity Fair, she said, “I love to troll, and I love getting off a plane and seeing like a guy hold a sign that says Mrs. Doubtfire. They were always very disappointed when it was me, but then after a while, some people started to catch on.”

We love your humor, Sab!

2. Sabrina Grew Up in Pennsylvania

Sabrina wasn’t always part of the California crowd. In fact, she often speaks fondly about her wholesome upbringing “in the middle of the woods.” Before moving to LA at the age of 13, the star spent most of her younger years in East Greenville, Pennsylvania where she was homeschooled by her parents, David and Elizabeth Carpenter.

3. She Started Singing on YouTube

Here’s a fun fact about Sabrina only her day-one fans know about. If you scroll back through her YouTube videos and then scroll back some more, you’ll find a 10-year-old Sabrina belting her heart out to Adele songs in a studio built by her doting dad. Not only was she totally adorable, but she was also a vocal powerhouse and clearly had natural talent from a very early age!

4. Miley Cyrus Helped Her Get into Acting

Yup, you read that right! Despite being known for playing rebellious teen Maya Hart in Disney’s Girl Meets World, Sabrina’s acting journey actually began much earlier — and it’s all thanks to Miley Cyrus. At just 11 years old, she landed a role in Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, playing a child victim named Paula Moretti. Sabrina managed to secure the part after coming third in Miley Cyrus’ singing competition, The Next Miley Cyrus Project.

5. Sabrina Was Bullied for Singing

It may be hard to believe, but Sabrina wasn’t always praised for her incredible vocal talent. Speaking to Interview Magazine about her childhood experiences, she explained, “Ironically, I was bullied for singing. I had really big dreams as a child, and it worked out for me.” Clearly she was too busy chasing those dreams to care about the haters — you go girl!
