Taylor Swift isn’t just a global superstar—she’s also playing the role of mentor and “proud big sister” to rising pop sensation Sabrina Carpenter, according to insiders.
A source close to the singers revealed to Life & Style that Carpenter, 24, has long idolized Swift, 34, and now leans on her for career advice, fashion tips, and even dating guidance.
A Friendship Built on Music and Mutual Support
The two first met in 2017 at one of Swift’s concerts, but their bond deepened when Swift invited Carpenter to open for her on the international leg of the Eras Tour.
“They were already friendly, but spending all that time traveling together really solidified things,” the insider shared. “Now, Taylor is like a mentor to Sabrina—someone she looks up to and admires, but they’re also genuine friends.”
The source added that the two “text and talk all the time,” with Carpenter often sending Swift snippets of new music for feedback.
Taylor’s Role as a Guiding Force
Beyond music, Swift has become a trusted confidante for Carpenter.
“If Sabrina has a boy problem or something upsets her, Taylor is one of the first people she calls,” the insider revealed.
But the friendship isn’t one-sided—despite their 10-year age gap, Swift also values Carpenter’s perspective.
“Sabrina is very wise, so there are times Taylor will go to her for advice, too,” the source noted.
A ‘Proud Big Sister’ Moment
Now that Carpenter is headlining her own tour (the Short n’ Sweet Tour), Swift has taken on a supportive big-sister role, frequently checking in with encouragement.
“Taylor is like a proud big sister,” the insider said. “She’s constantly giving Sabrina guidance as she navigates her own rising fame.”
This mentorship mirrors Swift’s own early career, when she was guided by veterans like Faith Hill and Dixie Chicks. Now, she’s paying it forward—proving that in the music industry, sisterhood matters just as much as stardom.
