Sabrina Carpenter ‘Getting the Seal of Approval From All Sides’ Including Madonna and Dolly Parton
Sabrina Carpenter is the toast of the music industry as a whole right now — not to mention Hollywood — as everyone from Dolly Parton, Miley Cyrus and now Madonna sing her praises to the heavens, but a source exclusively tells Life and Style she’s keeping her feet firmly on the ground and sticking tight to a solid support team.
“Sabrina is on this rocket ship to superstardom right now, it’s wild to see the leaps and bounds that her career is taking,” the source says. “Everyone has taken notice and women that have come before her and ridden the same rocket are reaching down to help support her, which is really beautiful.”
“The latest is Madonna, who took the whole Vogue homage to her really well,” the insider explains.
Fans of the Material Girl, 66, quickly pointed out Sabrina’s Vogue shoot resembled Madonna’s famous 1991 Vanity Fair cover and even the Queen of Pop herself posted, “Is this a Valentine’s Day present to me?” in response to the homage.
“She could have been threatened and bitchy about it,” the source continues, “because she’s still a working artist and doesn’t exactly need homages, but instead she was very gracious.”
“She understands the industry game and took the photos as they were intended, as a compliment. And the word is she’s been in touch with Sabrina privately to give her kudos and basically offer her any guidance she may want.”
“Sabrina has already gotten that same support from Dolly Parton, who she’s collaborating with, and from Miley Cyrus, too.”
Since linking back up with Miley, 32, at the Grammys, the “Please Please Please” singer, 25, has been inundated with praise from none other than Dolly, 79, who has been pushing the two to work together.
“Dolly is so impressed by Sabrina, by not only her talent but her humility and work ethic,” a second source previously told Life & Style. “She thinks Miley would be a wonderful mentor for her and she’s making it her mission to link them up.”
All this adulation isn’t coming out of the blue. Sabrina secured the win for Best Pop Vocal Album at the 2025 Grammys for Short n’ Sweet, beating out a ton of other top talent, including Billie Eilish, Chappell Roan, Taylor Swift and Ariana Grande, proving her star is certainly rising and fast.
Ever humble, the up-and-coming star tearfully addressed the crowd during her acceptance speech, saying, “All those nominees on the screen are some of my favorite artists in the world. This is my first Grammy, so, woo, I’m gonna cry.”
“I wanna thank my fans who let my music be heard by the Recording Academy. I want to thank my mom for driving me to every voice lesson, and I want to thank my dad and my sisters. I want to thank my team, Ireland Records,” the “On My Way” singer added. “What the hell? Thank you, this is so special to me and Short and Sweet means the world.”
The first source notes that “She’s getting the seal of approval from all sides, which speaks volumes about where she’s headed.”
