5 Reasons Why Sabrina Carpenter The Biggest Breakout Artist Of 2024

As 2024 unfolds, Sabrina Carpenter has cemented her place as the breakout artist of the year in pop music. Her rise has been nothing short (5 feet to be exact) of phenomenal, and her recent album Short n' Sweet is a big part of that rise. Here are five reasons why she’s my top pick for 2024—and why she’ll continue to dominate in 2025.

With Short n' Sweet, Sabrina Carpenter shows just how versatile she is. The album blends playful, catchy pop anthems with deeper, emotional ballads, demonstrating her ability to connect with a wide range of listeners. Sabrina effortlessly jumps from upbeat tracks like "Taste" to heartfelt songs like "Lie To Girls," proving she can master both ends of the pop spectrum. Her versatility in 2024 is paving the way for even more dynamic projects in 2025.

Sabrina’s songwriting in Short n' Sweet is raw, relatable, and refreshingly honest. Songs like "Slim Pickins" and "Dumb & Poetic" showcase her ability to craft lyrics that balance vulnerability with catchy hooks. Fans have gravitated toward the personal stories in this album, feeling as though she’s putting her heart on the line in every track. (We're all looking at you, Shawn Mendes.) In a year where authenticity rules pop music, Sabrina's talent for telling real, relatable stories in her lyrics sets her apart.

One of Sabrina’s biggest strengths is how unfiltered she remains, both in her music and her public persona. Don't forget ever-changing the outro for "Nonsense". Short n' Sweet feels like an intimate conversation with her listeners—she's not just writing about breakups and self-discovery, she's sharing her own journey. Whether in interviews or through her social media presence, Sabrina’s down-to-earth nature, she is from Pennsylvania after all, makes her feel like someone fans can relate to. This genuine connection is a major reason her fanbase has become so loyal in 2024.

Sabrina Carpenter has also become a fashion icon in 2024, drawing attention with her chic and playful coquette style. Her wardrobe choices—from vintage-inspired dresses to delicate lace and bold accessories—perfectly complement her music and public image. She’s been praised for effortlessly mixing flirtatious, feminine looks with a modern edge, and her style has become a source of inspiration for fans, me included! Her wardrobe for her current tour has been crafted by Patou, formerly known as Jean Patou or Jean Patou Paris, a French fashion house. Her ability to stand

The 2019 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony is this Friday (March 29), and in the ceremony's history, the all-star jam session has provided for one of the night's biggest highlights.

While there wasn't an all-star jam at the end of the 2018 ceremony, here's hoping the tradition will pick up again this year, especially when looking back on some of the incredible performances that have occurred.

In honor of the 2019 induction ceremony this Friday, here are seven stellar jam sessions from year's past.

The last all-star jam at the Rock Hall induction ceremony featured members of Pearl Jam, Yes, Journey and Rush together performing Neil Young's "Rockin' In the Free World." Young was slated to be the presenter for Pearl Jam that evening, but he had to back out at the last minute. David Letterman took his place, which as far as replacements go is pretty incredible.

The all-star jam at the very first Rock Hall induction ceremony was something to behold. Joining Chuck Berry for a performance of “Roll Over Beethoven” was Keith Richards, Neil Young and Steve Winwood.  For good measure, they were accompanied by Billy Joel and Jerry Lee Lewis.

Just look at that packed stage!  From Johnny Cash to Steve Cropper to The Edge, the amount of talent gathered during the 1992 all-star jam is simply unreal!

The All-Star Jam at the 1989 induction ceremony also featured an incredible array of icons. Performing The Rolling Stones' "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" is Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood, Little Richard, Bruce Springsteen, Pete Townshend, Tina Turner and Stevie Wonder.

Wow! There's literally something for everyone during this performance of "Crossroads" at the 2013 induction ceremony. Included on stage are Chuck D., Darryl "DMC" McDaniels, Ann and Nancy Wilson, Rush, John Fogerty, Dave Grohl, Taylor Hawkins, Chris Cornell, Tom Morello and Gary Clark Jr.

This performance is so good it hurts!  Watch in awe as Prince, Tom Petty, Steve Winwood, Jeff Lynne and Dhani Harrison play the hell out of this Beatles classic. In the years since Prince and Tom Petty's passing, the magic of this performance has only grown.

Ringo Starr got more than just a little help with the performance of this Beatles classic. The absolutely packed stage included Paul McCartney, Green Day, Joan Jett, Patti Smith, Joe Walsh, Karen O, Miley Cyrus, Gary Clark Jr., Zac Brown, Tom Morello, Dave Grohl and so much more that it's almost too overwhelming to list.
