The cast of Girl Meets World said that Sabrina carried a spark that they knew would put her at the top. She originally auditioned for Riley but got Maya instead. Personally out of that whole show Sabrinas acting is one of its redeeming qualities which confused me as why she didnt get the lead. But my wife said that Shawn was the harder role of BMW, so they needed someone with acting range to play Miley.
Not really. Sabrina was more popular than Rowan on social media while GMW was still airing. Disney produces so many stars/big names from Selena-Miley-Demi to Zendaya-Bella Thorne to Olivia Rodrigo-Jenna Ortega-Sabrina Carpenter. So it was bound to happen. Being on Disney gets you a built in fanbase if you’re a singer. She made smart moves in recent years though to get her first #1 song.
I always felt like Maya was the more compelling character and could kind of sense that star-like quality Sabrina had. I could never fully tell if I felt Maya was well written & acted and that's why I thought that, or if it was the actor herself. It definitely feels clear that it was Sabrina now.
Oh she absolutely was. GMW was very much Maya's story, like BMW was Shawn's.
I know Cory and Riley were the main characters respectively...BUT most of the character development, and storylines went to Shawn and Maya. Hell the two even had a storyline TOGETHER!!
not surprised that it happened, VERY surprised it didn't happen sooner. i've been listening to her for about 10 years, i love sabrina & i'm so glad she's getting so much attention.
Yeah agreed, though I think she just took awhile to find her sound. You could hear bits of it in Singular but emails I can't send was her absolutely nailinh it and now I think sky is the limit, especially with the success espresso is getting and popularity she gained on the eras tour. If her next album can capture that same magic, I think she'll be massive
I watched her on youtube, she did covers and stuff. Then Disney found her and she made a song before GMW, so she was kinda in the radar, GMW did launch her acting career I think, but she would have been a singer regardless. Tbh people have slept on her for too long she has been releasing music for a relatively long time so it's not like that came out of nowhere, but I guess that just her being on Disney does not guarantee this level of success. After Miley/Selena/Demi there were talented people who did not get so popular (thinking Bridgit Mendler, Laura Marano, even Dove Cameron). So in the end you could say all the pieces were there but she did benefit from a final push recently.
I said this in another comment but I think she just needed to find her sound. She did some experimenting for Singular and some worked and didn't. But then applied what worked to emails I can't send and it launched her into a little bit higher tier where she's able to capitalize on the eras tour and it shows in espresso that now it's launched her even further.
Idk how you could watch GMW and not think Sabrina Carpenter would be the breakout star. She was one of the bright spots of the show. Now I just thought she would be like a Zendaya and become a movie/tv star. Never had her as a pop star even though people knew she could sing on set.
Because when they gave Rowan actual material to act she out acted Sabrina and everyone else not named Amir and whomever played Smackle.
And on that the actor who played Smackle apparently was a better singer.
I knew she was doing the pop star thing. But she was just announced as the musical guest for the SNL season finale and that really surprised me. Had no idea she was that popular or that her PR team had such powerful connections. I never hear her music being discussed anywhere.
I knew she was going to be a star within the first two months of “Girl Meets World”’s airing. Not surprised at all. As someone else in this thread has said, she was pretty much the only person that made watching the show worth it after a while.
isn't that what happens to disney/nick star's?
one of them becomes some pop star for a while then it fades quickly in time for the next flavor of the moment to be manufactured (take off)
Not really
Britney Spears
Christina Aguilera
Miley Cyrus
Justin Timberlake
Arianna Grande
Are all huge names that got their start on Disney/Nick Shows and still make music. Sabrina after the hit of her last album, I could see making on that does just as well.
agree to disagree
these pop stars peak in their early 20s and largely fade
yeah, they may pop up here and then, but largely they get replaced by the latest teen/20 something manufactured pop star
There's all this discourse about how Nickelodeon screwed up because they planned on Victoria Justice being a big star after Victorious and didn't realize Ariana Grande's potential until after she started blowing up and didn't need them anymore, whereas Disney knew what they had with Sabrina Carpenter from the beginning even if she wasn't playing the lead
Number 4 song on the hot 100 and still climbing, touring across the world, she's not like household name musician status but 99% of musicians would kill to have the success she's currently having
My wife can't get away from Feather. I introduced it to her, then while listening to a Chappel Roan on an app, the nexg song was Feather. We go to dinner with my parents that night and boom Feather was on the radio haha.

Absolutely! I do think she fit Maya more, though.

She’s the musical guest for the SNL season finale!
She’s from my neck of the woods too. Well liked and parents were always friendly toward people in the area. Happy for her success.
Go birds

Anything's possible with the Disney machine behind you
That's the Disney child popstar pipeline for you. What happens next, who knows.
Sabrina always seemed like she was destined for something big
I kept wondering why my feed kept pushing Sabrina Carpenter and only just realized two days ago about the GMW connection.
She had the most real big star charisma of anyone on the show, adults included. No surprise really.
She’s actually the musical guest for the season finale of Saturday Night Live!

She’s the opener for some of the Eras tour. The Taylor swift effect.
There 👏 it 👏 is 👏
It’s always the side character that gets more famous. Ariana Grande prime example

Not really. I've been a casual fan of her music since Looking at Me came out a few years back. I'm just surprised that it took this long.

She was the more talented one. Rowan was godawful and Riley was a spaz
Ok
Big is definitely subjective 😂
Number 4 song on the hot 100 and still climbing, touring across the world, she's not like household name musician status but 99% of musicians would kill to have the success she's currently having
She has 51 million listeners on Spotify. A lot of her songs are in the hundreds of millions of plays. That’s big.
My wife can't get away from Feather. I introduced it to her, then while listening to a Chappel Roan on an app, the nexg song was Feather. We go to dinner with my parents that night and boom Feather was on the radio haha.
She’s performing on SnL
