"People think I'm really short but I'm actually super tall," Carpenter later joked to Amelia Dimoldenberg on Interview series 'Chicken Shop Date'. "I'm like 6 foot 1."

Sabrina Carpenter Nancy Cartwright
Sabrina Carpenter has a surprisingly A-list family. Her aunt, Nancy Cartwright, is world-famous, best known for being the voice artist behind the iconic role of Bart Simpson.
Carpenter has previously opened up about the connection, famously saying in a 2021 interview with Capital FM: "By relation, I am also a legend. No, absolutely not, not even close. But I will say that my whole life, that was just the coolest thing in the world to me.
“The woman is a woman of many talents, not just Bart,” Carpenter continued. “She always blows me away.”
Cartwright has also opened up about their relation, confirming in a TikTok video: "the rumours are true! Sabrina Carpenter is my niece!".
"Maybe you’ve known me for a little while, doing this little 10-year-old boy for, like, 35 some years — and some of you guys for, like, way less than that — find out that I’m related to this, like, superstar. She’s pretty amazing."
Sabrina Carpenter boyfriend
Sabrina Carpenter has reportedly dated a few celebrity names, including Bradley Steven Perry, Joshua Basset and Shawn Mendes.
However, she most famously dated 32-year-old actor Barry Keoghan, known for his roles in Saltburn, Dunkirk and The Banshees of Inisherin.
Carpenter and Keoghan started dating in December 2023, making multiple appearances together over the past year, with Keoghan often seen supporting Carpenter in concert from the audience.
The couple has faced break up speculation since July 2024, and this week it was reported that they had formally split.
"Sabrina and Barry are broken up," a source told Us Weekly. "They had a little bit of a break a few months ago but this break was very recent.”
Sabrina Carpenter hair
Sabrina Carpenter's hair has become a surprisingly hot topic this year, with TikTok detectives determined to find out the secret behind her famous bouncy blonde blowout.
Carpenter's hair never looks out of place on-stage, and even at the end of her performances, it will still look flawless, prompting a wave of conspiracy theories that she wears a wig onstage.
Carpenter has not revealed whether or not she wears a wig, but she did appear to give a cheeky hint earlier this year, sharing a video skit about the Carpenter wig conspiracy theories by American comedian Meg Stalter to her Instagram.
"Babe, I can’t tell if she’s wearing a hairpiece,” Stalter quips in the social media sketch. "She’s so hot from the concert, so I’m like, Okay, she’s probably wearing a wig. But then I was like, the bangs. So the bangs look so real. So I was like, Okay, maybe it’s just a hairpiece. Then there’s this picture of her at the gas station the next day, and her hair looked like a little bit - well, it’s, it’s still beautiful and thick, but it’s like, it’s not like, sort of like just laying like…Baby?"
Carpenter certainly seemed to enjoy the video. So much in fact that Stalter was one of the comedians invited to appear in Carpenter's Neftlix festive special, A Nonsense Christmas.
How much are Sabrina Carpenter tickets?
Sabrina Carpenter has faced controversy over the ticket prices of her 2025 European Tour.
The 25-year-old singer will perform in a series of venues across the UK and Ireland in March 2025, set to appear in London, Glasgow, Manchester, Birmingham and Dublin. And while tickets started at £58, due to the high demand it was reported that only tickets priced £220 and higher were available after a few minutes.
Fans have been criticising the "astronomical" prices, particularly given the cost of living crisis, but it is not exclusive to Carpenter's shows. Other major tours including those from Taylor Swift and Billie Eilish have faced controversy over ticket prices in recent years.
Sabrina Carpenter Christmas special
Sabrina Carpenter's festive special, A Nonsense Christmas, landed on Netflix on Saturday 7 December, already raking in a record-breaking viewership.
The star-studded variety special is action-packed, featuring musical performances and surprise duets from Shania Twain, Chappell Roan, and Tyla, among others. Not to mention, comedic guest appearances from a host of A-list names, including Cara Delevingne and Megan Stalter.
"The holidays have always been so special to me," Sabrina Carpenter explained to Netflix of A Nonsense Christmas. "I am excited to bring my take to a classic holiday variety show — infusing my love of music and comedy to make something that is uniquely me."
