As Sabrina Carpenter basks in the glory of her #1 debut on the Billboard 200 with ‘Short n’ Sweet,’ knocking Travis Scott and leveling with The Beatles, she recently chatted with W Magazine about her journey from child star to pop sensation. In a fun twist, Carpenter revealed while reminiscing about her childhood crushes, she sheepishly admitted her wall was plastered with posters of her girl crushes—none other than Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus, and Ariana Grande.

The ‘Espresso’ singer reminisced about her Tiger Beat Magazine subscription days, where she crafted her ultimate pop icon wall with cut-out posters of the dream team She also confessed to a rather “dangerous” Zac Efron obsession phase during his Hairspray days, when his dancing, singing, and Disney star charm were totally her jam. However, the Taylor Swift story really hit home for fans, especially since opening for Swift’s Eras Tour is like a full-circle moment for Carpenter.

In a Zoom chat with Rolling Stone last month, Suki Waterhouse spilled beans on her album ‘Memoir of a Sparklemuffin’ and dropped Taylor Swift’s name, sending Swifties into a frenzy. Right before the London leg of the five-day Eras Tour, Waterhouse revealed she would be opening for Swift on August 17—a moment so surreal, that she was fully convinced that “dreams come true.”

Waterhouse confessed she had been dreaming of this surreal moment her whole life, envisioning it as her career took off. Her voice was filled with starry-eyed excitement when she talked about landing the chance to open for the world-famous Eras Tour. But Waterhouse and Sabrina Carpenter are not the only ones getting their pinch-me moments, thanks to Swift since this pop queen has a serious talent for sprinkling magic dust on Hollywood’s elite!
