Who is Sabrina Carpenter? Me. Well, there's actually probably someone else in the world named Sabrina Carpenter, so I'm just one of a couple. I think there's only a few. I've checked that, actually. Who did Sabrina Carpenter play in Harry Potter? Great question. I was wrong. So it was a great experience, and I grew up on that set, Emma and Daniel. So it was cool, because they're just great people. Yeah, I'm a huge, huge Potterhead. I went to, actually was performing close to Universal in Florida, and went to Harry Potter World for the day, and I went into the room where they choose your wand for you. It's a very big moment. That wand was chosen for me, and then I brought it home, and now I cast spells on everybody. It's great. Who did Sabrina Carpenter? Voice in Phineas and Ferb. It's interesting, because I ended up working with the creators, Stan and Swampy, of Phineas and Ferb on my next animated series, Milo Murphy's Law, but I was just a small guest role. I went in for the day, and it was kind of like one of my first voiceover jobs, where they just had me do a bunch of random voices. So I literally don't even remember who I would have even played, but there's throughout a few different episodes like me, just those random guest things that they would need. Like a little girl screaming or crying, or random stuff that they use all the time. So I have no idea. If you find it, let me know. Voice impressions. What was it this morning, literally? I was going, oh, makes me want a hot dog real bad, and I was just working on my Jennifer Coolidge, trying to figure it out. She actually played my mom in a short series that I worked on, and she was so wonderful. I'm still working on it. Who I am. Sabrina Carpenter. Lyrics? Am I just not remembering my childhood at all? Yeah, I guess that was a song that I cover in the talent show. That was one of my first guest appearances on a show, which was really interesting to perform. I will be completely honest, I don't remember the lyrics. I'm not gonna toss it in your face. I'm gonna go this way. What's Sabrina Carpenter? What is Sabrina Carpenter allergic to? I've been dying to talk about this, because all my friends forget. Every time I'm like, I'm allergic to apples and almonds. Apples and almonds. They're like, okay, cool, cool, cool. So I see them the next day, and they're like, Sabrina, I got you these almonds if you want, or like, I just made almond butter. They're always forgetting my allergies, but I can have baked apples, really random, but raw apples I'm allergic to, and then, yeah, anything with almonds, which is unfortunate. I'm also slightly allergic to dogs, and my cats as well, and peaches. Oh, I forgot the main one, metal. It's a really random one, like nickel, like I'm allergic to metal. So like anytime I wear like fake jewelry, really expensive things, anytime I wear fake jewelry, like I break out and my ears bleed, essentially, and then if I wear like jeans, like it's a whole thing, so the struggle's real. What time was Sabrina Carpenter born? You and me both wanna know. My mom tells me this every couple years, and I always forget. I think it's 8.52 in the morning, but then some years it's 11.52, because I don't remember, but it was in the morning, I believe. What does Sabrina Carpenter say in French? Mon coeur est avec toi pour toujours, which means my heart is yours forever, and that's like a lyric in one of my songs, Paris. I wrote this bridge in French. I guess I just wanted to learn how to say that, because I always tell people that my heart is theirs forever. I give it away so easily. What kind of dog does Sabrina Carpenter have? He's a little bit of a mutt. His name's Goodwin, he's a celebrity. He's a Maltese, La Sopso, long-haired Chihuahua, and a Yorkie, so just really special, unique, and he's an angel, like truly an angel, and I love him so much. I got Goodwin on my 13th birthday, so at this point, I've had him almost 10 years, which is crazy. I grew up having cats. We were a cat family, and they were all strays, because I lived in the woods. We had Woody, Bo, Ginger, and Mocha, and then they all grew up, and then someone... That's terrible. I love them, and I miss them, but I've had time to grieve. I then moved to California, and now I have two new kittens, Benny and Bjorn. I don't know if anyone's an ABBA fan. Yeah, so they're precious, and their little British short hairs, they're white, they're beautiful. How Sabrina Carpenter... How tall... Not. How tall was Sabrina Carpenter in Girl Meets... Girl Meets What? Girl Meets World. I think I was probably 4'10 or 4'11 for a solid, the whole show. I remember when I hit five foot. I was doing the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, and I found out that day I measured myself, and I was like, did that happen? And then I don't think I've grown since. How long is Sabrina Carpenter on Broadway? Ooh, sore subject. We'll put in a sound effects of the crowd going, aww. I made my Broadway debut in Mean Girls on Broadway, which was such a gift and such a special moment in my life, but it was unfortunately two days before the cute little global pandemic, so I got to do two shows. So I was on Broadway a whole two nights. I'm hopeful that I'll be able to go back at some point, even if it's not Mean Girls, then back to Broadway eventually, because I loved it at the best time. How many octaves can Sabrina Carpenter sing? It's such a funny question. I've worked with my vocal coach, Eric Vitro, since I was like 12. He's told me that I have four to five.

How are we related? We're not. I wish we were. Joey's one of my best friends, but yeah, not by blood. We're not related. Although it's funny, I'll never forget one night we went to this restaurant in Georgia, and literally three people that night stopped us to ask us if we were twins. I kid you not, we looked nothing alike, and they were just convinced. They're like, oh my gosh, you guys are the most beautiful twins you've ever seen. And we're like, what?

That's really funny that you think it's my photography account because we look alike, I guess. And she posts a lot of photos of me, to be fair. We love taking photos together.

Glad you asked. It's kind of a multitude of things.

What was Sabrina Carpenter in Sophia the First? Great show, iconic. I played Princess Vivian, one of Sophia's friends, classmates. And I had this cute pet dragon. I know, kind of a subtle flex.

Thanks for being a fan. Sabrina Carpenter, yellow dress, Work It. I actually love that. It's so interesting to know the character wardrobe that people really gravitate towards and that dress was a custom dress so I could be able to dance a little bit easier in it, but we modeled it off of another dress that was like a red dress in that same shape, but I love the color yellow, so I was like, can we please make it yellow?

My grandma was an artist, so drawing is one of my favorite like therapeutic, calming activities. Can Sabrina Carpenter sing for us? Well, now every song I've ever thought of is just gone. Why do I keep singing Sean Kingston in my head? Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry, microphone. I'm thinking of the most random songs in my head right now. Amy Winehouse. Meet you downstairs in the bar and heart. You know I'm no good by Amy Winehouse with two lyrics misplaced. So, it's realism yourself. Someone wants to know if I dyed my eyebrows. That's shocking, I guess, because they're homegrown locally. Yeah, that's so interesting and nothing about my feet. So, great day. Thanks so much, Wired. You guys are the best. I hope you enjoyed.
