Pop superstar Sabrina Carpenter has been discussing her musical inspirations, and explaining why some of these artists informed her decision to release a new album, Man’s Best Friend - which was preceded by a new single, Manchild, last week - just a year after 2024’s chart-topping (and still big-selling) Short n’ Sweet.
While it’s common these days for big stars to have lengthy ‘eras’ and squeeze as much juice as they can out of a successful record, Carpenter says that, when she realised that some of her heroes kept the new music flowing much more frequently, she wondered why she shouldn’t do the same.
