The “Espresso” singer reflects on growth, patience, and finding confidence in her own journey.
Pop sensation Sabrina Carpenter recently opened up in a heartfelt interview about what she would tell her younger self—offering insight into her personal growth, fashion regrets, and the power of patience.
Speaking on CBS Sunday Morning, the 26-year-old hitmaker was asked what advice she’d give to her younger self, the girl who once posted videos on YouTube, dreaming of stardom.
Her response? Both humorous and profound.
“Don’t wear the fedora — when you think you look really cool,” Sabrina quipped with a smile, poking fun at her early fashion choices.
From YouTube Dreams to Global Stardom
Sabrina admitted she went through “so many phases” during her early years in the spotlight, particularly when it came to style. But as the conversation deepened, the “Feather” singer shared more serious reflections about her journey.
“It’s so much more than just ‘keep going,’ because I cannot sit here and act like there haven’t been moments that I have felt so defeated or not myself,” she shared candidly.
Now, at the height of her career—with chart-topping singles like “Espresso” and a loyal fan base—Sabrina says she feels more aligned with herself than ever before.
“I think it’s really beautiful that all of this is happening at a moment where I feel very much myself,” she said.
The Value of Patience and Support
The singer went on to express her gratitude for her inner circle.
“I feel very grateful for the people I have around me — my family and friends — because that is so exciting to me,” Sabrina noted.
When asked to sum up the most meaningful advice for her younger self, the pop star paused and offered a timeless truth:
“Be patient, which has always been, kind of, the story for me. Patience is a virtue.”
What’s Next for Sabrina Carpenter?
