Popstar Sabrina Carpenter has been riding high on the success of her chart-topping single Espresso. The singer-songwriter released the song before her performance at Coachella, which saw her propel to worldwide stardom. The former Disney Channel actress has since performed the song on Saturday Night Live!
After gaining appreciation from Katy Perry, the song seems to have found a fan in the legendary Adele. The Rolling in the Deep singer recently spoke about Carpener’s song being on her mind while at a performance. She called the song ‘her jam’ and mentioned that she was crooning to the banger one night after a performance.
Adele Calls Sabrina Carpenter’s Espresso Her Jam
Adele has always been regarded as one of the greatest singers of the generation and has been one of the highest-selling artists. Her albums regularly sell millions of units worldwide and she became one of the highest-selling female artists in the UK. The singer has also won numerous accolades, including 16 Grammys, an Academy Award, and a Golden Globe.
While Adele has fans all around the world, including celebrities such as Ed Sheeran, Rihanna, and Beyonce, the Set Fire to the Rain singer seems to be obsessed with someone else. In a recent live performance, Adele revealed that she was completely obsessed with Sabrina Carpenter’s single Espresso, which has been a chart-topper since April.
Adele mentioned during the performance that she was at a late-night gig once and was exhausted by the time she came back to her hotel room. While she was getting ready to go to bed, she reportedly found herself singing the lyrics to Carpenter’s hit single. She recalled,
As I got into bed that night, it was a very late night for me. I’m normally in bed by 9 PM. I found myself singing, ‘I’m working late. ‘Cause I’m a singer.’ The Sabrina Carpenter song…that song is my jam! It came out and I couldn’t f*ckin talk. It came out when I couldn’t talk or sing.
The lyrics she sang refer to the second verse in Carpenter’s song. Espresso also recently received an endorsement from pop star Katy Perry, who uploaded a reel on her Instagram, where she is seen lipsyncing to the banger as she goes to film American Idol.
Sabrina Carpenter Once Wanted To Feel What Adele was Feeling In Her Songs
Sabrina Carpenter began her career as an actress before she ventured into a musical career. The actress was in Disney Channel’s Girl Meets World and Adventures in Babysitting and starred in a host of Netflix films such as the Tall Girl franchise and Work It. She began her musical career in 2014 and in 2023, she opened for Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour.
Carpenter has cited multiple artists as her influences, including Christina Aguilera and Rihanna. She mentioned in an interview with Billboard that she once wanted to feel Adele’s heartbreak and was fascinated by how she could churn out such painful songs. She said,
To my friends, I was always like, ‘I just want to know what Adele’s feeling’. Like, how she made these gut-wrenching records. And I [just became] so fascinated with that… like, ‘Damn, I just need some of whatever Adele was drinking!’…And… then I got it.
The singer seemed to have finally realized her dream and more as she got the attention of one of her idols. Espresso has also been topping multiple charts, including Billboard’s Top 100, Mainstream Top 40, and Global 200. The single’s music video has also received much appreciation.
