Taylor Swift and Sabrina Carpenter’s friendship
According to the report of People Magazine, Swift and Carpenter’s friendship has grown a lot this year. Carpenter is featured on the title track of Swift’s twelfth studio album, The Life of a Showgirl. Their dinner comes at a time when both artists are in the public’s attention, even if they are in different places regarding awards eligibility this cycle.
Swift herself was not included in the 2026 nominations, as The Life of a Showgirl was released just after the eligibility cutoff window. The album will instead be part of the 2027 Grammy Awards consideration.
