Sabrina Carpenter works closely with her sister Sarah on artistic projects.
The Espresso hitmaker has explained how her older sibling helps her to realise her creative vision as the pair "kind of share a brain".
In conversation with fashion designer Marc Jacobs for Perfect magazine, Sabrina said: "I work with my sister a lot. She has been my creative partner with pretty much everything I do. We kind of share a brain. She's just got such an amazing creative eye. She's a great photographer. She just has incredible taste.
"We've been best friends our whole lives, so she knows me better than anyone."
Sabrina explained how she has been able to obtain more control over her art since she signed with Island Records five years ago.
The 26-year-old pop star said: "It's changed in the last five years. Back in 2021, I signed with Island Records. That was the beginning of everything shifting and me feeling really in control of what I was doing.
"Everything you just said – the videos, the covers, the merch, the tour especially – it's all something that clicked one day, and I just realised, 'Oh my gosh, this is what makes it feel special and uniquely myself. It's me running the show.'
"It's a lot more hats to wear and a lot more jobs to do, but it's those little changes that if I was doing it with someone who was directing me on what to do, it wouldn't feel so personal to me."
Sabrina's star has soared following the success of her 2024 album Short n' Sweet and pinpoints the subsequent arena tour as the moment that "changed (her) life".
The Manchild singer said: "When I think about one thing changing my life, it seems silly. It had to be 20 things before that and 20 things after that. There's so many moments that lead up to something that resonates with people. Then the moments after are really important as well.
"I think, honestly, the tour I did in the last year, the Short n' Sweet tour, I feel like that really, really changed my life.
"That was my first arena tour. It was the first time anyone got to really live with these songs and hear how they sound out loud. It was really the tour – and the fans. It's mostly what they've done to change my life, which is existing, showing up. I owe it to them."
