Taylor Swift sends congratulatory message to Sabrina Carpenter

On Friday, Carpenter sent her fans a nice message in an email newsletter, thanking her fans for selling out her upcoming shows and for streaming the two singles from her upcoming album. Short and sweetwill be released in August.

“I’m writing to you from Europe, staring deep into the sea and thinking about how grateful I am to you,” she wrote. “You helped me land my first ever number one single last week and then sell out my entire arena tour. I can’t express how much this means to me and that I couldn’t have done it all without you.”

“You mean the absolute world to me!!! Always have and always will,” she added. “I hope you have a great holiday weekend and I look forward to sharing many more things with you soon.”

Carpenter and Swift developed their friendship last year after Carpenter joined the Eras Tour as an opening act for the tour’s Latin American and Australian dates. She first performed for four nights on the stadium stage in Mexico City in August. During her performance each night, Carpenter played a video of herself as a nine-year-old singing “Picture to Burn” from Swift’s debut album.

Carpenter even joined Swift onstage at a performance in Sydney to perform a mashup of “White Horse” and “Coney Island.” Carpenter also released a Spotify single cover of Swift’s “I Knew You Were Trouble.”

“I consider them to be in a completely different category,” Carpenter said recently Rolling Stone about Swift. “I could never compare my life, my career, my journey to anything that even comes close to what she accomplished.”

“She always brings out music at a time when I didn’t know I needed those songs,” Carpenter added. “We’re very, very open about our love and admiration for each other. … She played me ‘But Daddy I Love Him’ before it came out, and that’s one of my favorite songs, too.”
