Taylor Swift Shouts Out Sabrina Carpenter’s New Album ‘Short n’ Sweet’: ‘Go Support Our Girl!’
Taylor Swift gave shout-outs to two of her friends Friday (Aug. 23), praising both Sabrina Carpenter‘s new album Short n’ Sweet as well as Zoë Kravitz‘s film Blink Twice on Instagram Stories.
Of her former Eras tour mate, the pop superstar wrote: “Short. Sweet. Has made an extraordinary album.”
Sharing a photo of her posing with Carpenter at a Kansas City Chiefs game in October, Swift also gave followers a call to action. “Go support our girl!!” she wrote.
The “Espresso” singer dropped her sixth studio album Friday, featuring the Billboard Hot 100-topping hit “Please Please Please” and new single “Taste,” for which she also offered a music video costarring Jenna Ortega. The project comes more than five months after Carpenter concluded her run as Swift’s opener on the Eras Tour’s Latin American, Asian and Australian dates.
Reposting Swift’s praise on her own Story, the Girl Meets World alum simply wrote, “:’) ily.”
Also on Instagram, the “Anti-Hero” artist raved about Blink Twice, Kravitz’s directorial debut starring the Batman star’s fiancé, actor Channing Tatum. “This film is incredible,” Swift wrote, sharing the psychological thriller’s poster. “Thrilling, twisted, wickedly funny, and visually stunning. The performances are phenomenal.”
“Zoe Kravitz conceptualized this, wrote it, obsessed over every detail, and directed it with such a clear and bold vision,” Swift continued of her friend. “I’m so blown away by what she’s accomplished here and I can’t wait to watch everyone discover this film and this brilliant filmmaker.”
The 14-time Grammy winner’s post comes a few days after Tatum shared a sweet video of his and Kravitz’s date night at one of Swift’s Wembley Eras Tour shows. “The love is real and @taylorswift13 is an absolute force!” he captioned the clip, which showed him kissing the actress on the cheek as she danced along to “Shake It Off.”
Swift and Kravitz have been close friends for years, and even collaborated on the former’s Midnights track “Lavender Haze.” In 2022, the Divergent alum told GQ that she and the “Karma” artist were in each other’s quarantine pods, with Swift telling the publication: “Zoë’s sense of self is what makes her such an exciting artist, and such an incredible friend. She has this very honest inner compass, and the result is art and life without compromising who she is.”
