Sabrina Carpenter Discusses Paul McCartney Admiration

Sabrina Carpenter recently shared her enduring admiration for Paul McCartney during an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. As a child, she fell in love with McCartney's songwriting after her father played her the Beatles song 'Rocky Raccoon', leading her to believe he was her future husband, despite their age difference. Carpenter recalled meeting McCartney earlier this year, describing it as a 'beautiful experience' that felt like entering an alternate universe; she was moved to tears by his charm and how he made everyone feel seen. The 25-year-old singer expressed gratitude for her career, especially as she prepares for her first Grammy Awards, where she received six nominations. Her emotional connection to McCartney significantly influenced her passion for songwriting, which she cherishes deeply. Carpenter humorously reflected on her childhood misconceptions about age, noting, 'I didn’t understand math; I was a child.'
