Sabrina Carpenter addressed all the hate she received from Swifties for appearing in Kim Kardashian's SKIMS campaign.
TMZ reported on a recent interview the pop star landed with Rolling Stone in which she stated regarding haters, “It's all they have time to do.”
This stems from Taylor's feud with Kardashian going way back to 2016. The singer even released a diss track about Kim's ex, Kanye West, on The Tortured Poets Department.
Carpenter has toured with Swift and idolizes the star. So, when she got mixed into the SKIMS campaign, Swifties weren't having it. To them, it felt like a betrayal. All this said, before Sabrina went all-in with Kardashian's SKIMS campaign, she gave Swift a heads-up and got her blessing to do the shoot and be a part of it.
Carpenter said, “As much as people want to believe you're tuned into every little thing, I'm not because I'm constantly working. In that scenario, I've been very, very communicative with her [Swift] about that situation, and I just love her so much and support her till the end. So it was no weirdness for me, but I know people will just say things because that's all they have time to do.”
Sabrina Carpenter expresses love for Taylor Swift
“I hold her to such a different echelon,” Carpenter also said of Swift. “I could never compare my life, my career, my trajectory to anything close to what she's done.”
The two stars seem to be great friends and colleagues. After all, Carpenter has opened for Swift. It started last year with four dates in Mexico City, South America, Australia, and Singapore.
She also covered one of Swift's songs, Picture to Burn, in 2009 when she taught herself to sing. Taylor was a massive influence on her growing up.
Regarding Swift's newest albums, Carpenter said, “We're very, very verbal with each other about our mutual love and admiration…She played me But Daddy I Love Him before it came out, and that's also one of my favorites.”
The singer is gearing up for her sixth studio album, Short N' Sweet, which will be out on August 23. With the album, she tried to refrain from overthinking. “I think every artist is like that,” she said. “I figure music is in seasons and the project should not dictate a specific time. Just because I might've written a song a year ago and I don't feel that way anymore, it doesn't mean it doesn't belong on a project.”
Sabrina Carpenter probably can easily brush off any Swifties, considering she's at an all-time high. Her hit, Espresso, is streamed and played everywhere. It's unleashed a new stardom level for the singer. And as she says, she's too busy to notice many other things.
