Sabrina Carpenter reveals the meaning behind Short N' Sweet: "It was not because I'm vertically challenged"
Sabrina Carpenter recently sat down with Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1 to discuss her forthcoming album, Short n’ Sweet.
Reflecting on her career so far, and breaking out of the headspace of being a child star, Carpenter admits that it has been a process that she's not been too aware of. "It's interesting to reflect on it now, because I don't feel like I've changed that much. I feel like the seed was always there, of me always kind of having a direction, and having an opinion, and having an idea, and steering a ship, that was always there – whether people want to believe that or not," she revealed.
"I think through, obviously, life experiences, through being humbled, through making the wrong jokes, I really have found this place right now where I definitely don't have it all together, and I don't know it all, but I'm really happy with the current state of feeling like I'm comfortable in my body, and feeling like I'm comfortable in my mind, and allowing moments to be the moments that I'm in," she continued.
Zane Lowe notes that the album feels like a moment of self-discovery, and growing through heartbreak, to which Carpenter agrees is true.
"I called it Short n' Sweet for multiple reasons. It was not because I'm vertically challenged. It was really like I thought about some of these relationships and how some of them were the shortest I've ever had and they affected me the most," she offered. "I think about the way that I respond to situations, and sometimes it is very nice and sometimes it's not very nice. And again, the thing about albums, projects, writing songs, it's all moments. So harder for other people to understand that when they're listening to something that's going to take them through maybe a lot of years, hopefully a lot of years, is that I'm not the same person that I was when I wrote that."
