Taylor Swift has become more than just an idol to Sabrina Carpenter — she’s now a trusted mentor, close friend, and constant source of support. Having looked up to Swift since she was a child, Carpenter has grown from a devoted fan into someone Taylor considers part of her inner circle.
A source close to the two stars told Life & Style magazine that Sabrina Carpenter deeply admires Taylor Swift, turning to her for advice on everything from music and fashion to love and relationships. “Taylor is a mentor to Sabrina, someone she’s looked up to for years,” the insider revealed. “But what they have now is more than admiration — it’s a real, meaningful friendship.”
According to the source, Taylor Swift and Sabrina Carpenter keep in regular contact and talk frequently. “They text and chat all the time. When Sabrina is working on new music, she often sends clips to Taylor to get her opinion,” the insider added. “Taylor’s feedback is something she truly values.”
Their friendship reportedly started back in 2017, when Sabrina Carpenter met Taylor Swift at one of her concerts. That meeting led to a budding connection, which later blossomed when Swift invited Carpenter to be an opening act on her global Eras Tour. “They were friendly before, but spending so much time together on tour brought them even closer,” said the source.
Now, with Sabrina Carpenter embarking on her own tour, Taylor Swift continues to play the role of a supportive big sister. “Taylor checks in constantly, cheering Sabrina on and offering advice every step of the way,” the insider shared. “She’s genuinely proud of how far Sabrina has come.”
Interestingly, the friendship goes both ways. While Swift is ten years older, the source noted that Sabrina Carpenter is incredibly insightful. “It’s not just Taylor guiding Sabrina — there are times when Taylor seeks her out for advice, too. Sabrina might be younger, but she’s wise beyond her years.”
Together, Taylor Swift and Sabrina Carpenter represent a powerful example of women in music supporting each other — built on mutual respect, trust, and sisterhood.
