While she has been in the entertainment industry for more than a decade, it’s fair to say that Sabrina Carpenter has only recently ascended to superstardom.

After first finding success as a child actor, including one of the lead roles in the Disney Channel sitcom Girl Meets World back in 2014, Sabrina turned her attention to music that same year.

Since then, she has released five studio albums, and it was her most recent one — Emails I Can’t Send — that really catapulted her into the mainstream following its 2022 release.

She also references her sense of humor not being for everybody in her songs, with “Things I Wish You Said” including the lyric: “Nobody gets my jokes, everyone here thinks I'm fucking rude.”

Sabrina’s most recent singles have actively leaned into this playful new brand, with both becoming hugely popular summer hits ahead of the release of her sixth studio album, Short n’ Sweet, in August.

And after years in the business, Sabrina recently shared her joy that she has been able to utilize and showcase her true personality in her most recent work.

While it is common for people to question the authenticity of the personality that celebrities present as part of their brand, a recently resurfaced video of Sabrina as a kid has gone viral for proving that she has always been pretty quirky.

However, the clip has gained fresh traction in recent days after somebody shared Sabrina’s response to one of her fan’s TikToks.

In the video, the fan is left horrified when her young son shouts “motherfucker” while she is singing “Please Please Please,” and Sabrina apologized for her bad influence as she commented: “just dropped the clean i am so sorry.”

If you’re wondering, in the clean version of the song, Sabrina replaces “motherfucker” with “little sucker.”

Sharing Sabrina’s comment to X, somebody tweeted: “she is the funniest pop girlie out there right now like let's bfr,” and somebody responded by quote-tweeting the childhood video and writing: “and i love how it’s not even forced like sabrina been strange since she gained consciousness 😭😭”

This tweet has already been seen more than 15 million times, and thousands have shared their agreement with the OP’s sentiment.

“That’s why I find it endearing and actually funny cause u can tell it’s not forced,” one person replied. Another agreed: “tbh the more i follow this girl the more i become her fan lmaoooo it's not even about her music, she's so weird as a person and i love it.”
