Way before Sabrina Carpenter rocked the Coachella stage, she had a long journey in the entertainment industry behind her.
The performer, who turned 27 on May 11, didn't begin her career off as a singer, instead she stuck to acting for a long time.
Believe it or not, Sabrina's first role was on the hit show Law and Order: SVU in 2011, during which she portrayed a young assault survivor, by the name of Paula Moretti in Season 12 for an episode called "Possessed."

In 2014, she had a huge breakthrough thanks to Disney Channel's popular series Girl Meets World, playing the role of Maya Hart.

She also recorded multiple songs for the animated series Disney Fairies: Faith, Trust and Pixie Dust as well as Sofia the First from 2013 to 2018.
In 2015, she dropped her album Eyes Wide Open and in 2022, she put out her album Emails I Can't Send.
The singer went on to open Taylor Swift's global Eras Tour in 2023, where she performed her addictive songs "Espresso," "Feather," and "Nonsense."
Sabrina's fashion evolution

Sabrina's connection between her music and style

Sabrina recalled how in tune her style was to her album Emails I Can't Send, expressing: "[The record], to me at least, feels like the first album cycle where I really felt like there was a style connection to the music. I haven't always felt that way in the past because I was young and didn't know who I was."
