Sabrina Carpenter for Rolling Stone

Sabrina is the cover star for Rolling Stone's July-August 2025 Issue.

The interview starts in a private suite of a spa in Central London, with both the interviewer and Sabrina both in cold ice baths.

A few quotes and moments from the article below.




Producer and keyboard enthusiast, Jack Antonoff, says about her: "She’s as intelligent as someone can possibly be, which is why she’s funny. When she says something incredibly profound and then chucks it away with a joke, it almost hits deeper." He makes the following analogy: "You go back, the Beatles would [have] the most beautiful love song on Earth, and then something that sounds like a cartoon that John or Paul made up in their head. Some of the best songs ever, and these really funny things, live hand in hand. It’s something I’ve personally been yearning for, and I think other people have been, too.”
Despiter her espresso-related fame, Sabrina prefers yerba mate over coffee: “It’s everything.”
Why she chose to release her new album, Man's Best Friend, while still touring for Short n' Sweet: "Why would I wait three years just for the sake of waiting three years? It’s all about what feels right. I’m learning to listen to that a lot more, instead of what is perceived as the right or wrong move.” Further down the intervirew, she notes of some of her favorite artists’ discographies, like Parton or Linda Ronstad: “They would release a 10-song album every year,” she says. “I’m like, ‘When did we stop doing that?’ Writers write, they make music, and they release music."
Jack Antonoff on the new abum: “I find a lot of this album to be some of the most honest work I’ve ever heard,” he adds. “There’s something really celebratory about it, but most of the lyrical content is about disappointment in relationships and all the different shapes it takes. I think it’s a celebration of those who let you down.”
Does she ever revisit her Girl Meets World episodes? “Against my will,” she says. “It’s going to be very weird and trippy to look back on it when I’m much older. But for now, I just shiver at the outfits.”
Does she revisit the love triangle drama of 2021? “I don’t think about it, ever.” She says before capping off the exchange with: “I’ve tried being ­brunette, and it didn’t look good on me, so this is what it is.”
Of her sarcastic nature:  “Anytime I didn’t really want to be nice and please people, I could use sarcasm as a tactic of being transparent, and I didn’t come across as rude or bitchy or hard to work with,” she says. “This opens a whole other conversation [about] how women have to reshape their dialogue and overall intentions in order to make sure they’re not coming off a certain way. When in reality, I’ve started to realize it doesn’t make you a bad person to be assertive, or know what you want.”
Of complaints about her sex-focused music: “They’re like, ‘All she does is sing about this.’ But those are the songs that you’ve made popular. Clearly you love sex. You’re obsessed with it. It’s in my show. There’s so many more moments than the ‘Juno’ positions, but those are the ones you post every night and comment on. I can’t control that. If you come to the show, you’ll [also] hear the ballads, you’ll hear the more introspective numbers."
On the scrutiny she receives in general: “I don’t want to be pessimistic, but I truly feel like I’ve never lived in a time where women have been picked apart more, and scrutinized in every capacity. I’m not just talking about me. I’m talking about every female artist that is making art right now.”
