Sabrina Carpenter has opened up about her rise to fame. Picture: Bang Showbiz.
Sabrina Carpenter was "led astray" during the early stages of her career.
The “Nonsense” singer was just 15 when she released her first single and became a household name thanks to TV series “Girl Meets World”, and though she's admitted she was "misguided" by people in those days, she's thankful for her experiences as she's learned to trust her instincts as a result.
The 25-year-old star told “Time” magazine: "For a long time, I was constantly guided and misguided.
"I'm so grateful for all of those times where I was led astray, because now I'm a lot more equipped going into situations where I have to trust my own instincts."
Carpenter also shared how she feels “so prepared” for fame after growing up watching the MTV Video Music Awards.
The “Espresso” hitmaker performed at the event last month and she admitted it was a dream come true.
She said: “I grew up watching those performances and being like, ‘I want to do that’...
"[It was] another dream realised.
“It all just seemed so – not even out of reach, just like I had a different plan in my head of when it was all supposed to happen."
Carpenter also explained how she is able to embrace fame: “I feel so prepared for these moments.
“If I was even 17 or 18, I think I would have been way, way more nervous and intimidated.”
Carpenter has also been revealed to be on the TIME100 Next list, which recognises 100 emerging leaders who are shaping the future of the world.
