Sabrina Carpenter is everywhere these days—dominating the charts with Short n’ Sweet, slaying the Short n’ Sweet Tour, and popping up at awards shows with her signature wit and charm. But while we all know about her high-profile BFFs like Taylor Swift and Joey King, there’s a whole squad of lesser-known pals in Sabrina’s orbit who deserve some spotlight too. These are the unsung heroes of her crew—friends who’ve been with her through the Disney days, the heartbreak anthems, and everything in between. Let’s dive into Sabrina Carpenter’s unknown friends you should absolutely know about!
1. Paloma Sandoval – The Muse Behind “Bed Chem”
If you’ve watched the “Nonsense” music video or scrolled through Sabrina’s Insta lately, you might’ve spotted Paloma Sandoval. This Mexican-Canadian creative isn’t just a random plus-one—she’s Sabrina’s ride-or-die and the inspiration behind the sultry Short n’ Sweet track “Bed Chem.” Paloma’s a social media star in her own right, known for her quirky Instagram Lives and body-positive vibes. She’s been hyping Sabrina up since their Coachella dance parties in 2022, and her chill, supportive energy is the kind of friendship we all need. Bonus points: Paloma’s got a killer eye for fashion—those Selena covers Sabrina did? Paloma was probably cheering from the front row. Keep an eye on her; she’s a vibe worth following.
2. Rowan Blanchard – The Girl Meets World Throwback
Okay, Rowan Blanchard isn’t totally unknown, but her friendship with Sabrina has flown under the radar since their Girl Meets World days wrapped in 2017. Back when they were Disney Channel darlings, these two were inseparable—Rowan as Riley, Sabrina as Maya, and off-screen, they were just as tight. They’ve grown into wildly different careers (Rowan’s all about indie films and activism now), but Sabrina’s confirmed they’re still buddies, even if life’s gotten hectic. In a lie detector test a while back, Sabrina spilled that they’ve caught up in New York recently—how cute is that nod to their fictional hometown? Rowan’s artsy, introspective vibe is the perfect yin to Sabrina’s pop-star yang.
3. Corey Fogelmanis – The Quiet Hype Man
Another Girl Meets World alum, Corey Fogelmanis (aka Farkle) might not be front and center in Sabrina’s current crew, but he’s one of those low-key friends who’s been there since the beginning. Corey’s a photographer and actor who’s kept a pretty chill profile compared to Sabrina’s meteoric rise, but their bond goes way back to those awkward teen sitcom years. He’s the type to show up at her shows with a camera, snapping candid shots she probably posts later. Sabrina’s all about loyalty, and Corey’s quiet support is proof she doesn’t forget her roots. Plus, his artsy Instagram is a mood—definitely worth a follow.
4. Sofia Carson – The Disney Darling Connection
Sabrina and Sofia Carson go back to the Disney Channel golden era, and while they’re not spotted together as often these days, their friendship is one of those “once a Disney kid, always a Disney kid” deals. Sofia, known for Descendants and her sleek red-carpet style, bonded with Sabrina over their shared love of music and acting. They’ve never confirmed a super-tight BFF status, but they’ve crossed paths at events and hyped each other up online. Sofia’s poised, glamorous energy complements Sabrina’s playful chaos—imagine the collab we’d get if these two ever hit the studio together!
5. Jenna Ortega – The Horror-Pop Crossover Queen
Jenna Ortega’s friendship with Sabrina might’ve hit the mainstream with their Taste music video (hello, that kiss!), but their connection started way before that. Both former Disney stars—Sabrina on Girl Meets World, Jenna on Stuck in the Middle—they’ve been quietly rooting for each other for years. Jenna’s dark, quirky vibe pairs perfectly with Sabrina’s bubbly boldness, and their Taste collab was a full-circle moment for two girls who’ve climbed from kid TV to cultural icons. Jenna’s called Sabrina “a light” in her life, and we’re obsessed with this duo. Horror-pop crossover, anyone?
Why These Friends Matter
Sabrina’s inner circle isn’t just a random mix of famous faces—these are the people who’ve seen her evolve from YouTube covers to sold-out arenas. Whether it’s Paloma’s infectious positivity, Rowan’s nostalgic loyalty, or Jenna’s creative spark, these lesser-known friends show us a side of Sabrina that’s grounded, real, and fiercely supportive. She’s not just a pop star; she’s a friend who keeps her crew close, no matter how big she gets.
So, next time you’re streaming “Espresso” or screaming “Please Please Please” at a concert, give a little shoutout to the squad behind the scenes. Who’s your favorite from Sabrina’s underrated friend list? Drop it in the comments—I’m dying to know!
