Milo Manheim is buzzing with pride for his friend Sabrina Carpenter's skyrocketing music career. You might recognize Milo from the "Zombies" franchise, and he's been keeping an eye on Sabrina's journey from Disney Channel star to chart-topping pop sensation.
Manheim, at 23, is all praises for 25-year-old Carpenter, especially her recent singles "Espresso" and "Please Please Please." These tracks have been lighting up the charts, with "Please Please Please" even snagging the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100. Reflecting on her success, Milo couldn't be happier, saying, "She's come so far. It's really cool to see her skyrocket. She’s so talented, so lovely. She deserves it."
Just like Milo, Sabrina's roots trace back to Disney Channel. She first caught our attention in the "Boy Meets World" spinoff "Girl Meets World" back in 2014. From there, she transitioned smoothly into the music world. Her fifth studio album, "Emails I Can't Send," has been a critical darling, packed with hits like "Nonsense" and "Feather." Fun fact: Milo starred in the music video for "Feather," where Sabrina plays a femme fatale taking revenge on boys who've wronged her.
Talking about the October 2023 video shoot, Manheim remembers it fondly, saying it was "really fun and easy." He adds, "I didn't even know what I was doing that day. I was just like, I trust Sabrina. I pulled up, and we shot that, and it was awesome." It's clear that Milo not only enjoyed the experience but also values the trust and camaraderie they share.
Milo's admiration for Sabrina doesn't stop at their professional collaborations. He also got the chance to see her perform at Jingle Ball last year. Watching her on stage, he admits he got "really emotional," thinking, "Damn, she's come so far." It's a testament to their deep-rooted friendship that Milo feels so strongly about her achievements.
Milo's bond with Sabrina and other Disney Channel alums runs deep. He and his "Zombies" co-star, Meg Donnelly, have shared countless game nights at Donnelly's house with Sabrina. "We always got each other when you go back to it," Milo says about their tight-knit group. He likens their connection to that of school friends, saying, "It's like your family. A lot of these Disney kids didn't even go to school, so it really does feel like your school friends going out into the world. And when you see them kill it, it's just like, hell yeah!"
Beyond their game nights and heartfelt performances, there's also a sense of shared history and support that binds these former Disney stars together. They cheer each other on and celebrate each other's victories as if they were their own. It's a beautiful, supportive circle that many would envy.
And if you're following the latest buzz, you'll know that Sabrina recently opened for Taylor Swift during her Eras Tour, which only adds to her growing list of accolades. Up next for Carpenter is her 2024 Short 'n' Sweet headlining tour, which promises to be a hit. Milo, ever the supportive friend, says he'd "love to" catch one of her concerts. For now, though, he's content to cheer her on from the sidelines, wishing her nothing but success. "I wish her well," he says, confident in her continued rise. "I hope she keeps killing it — I mean, she's going to."
What stands out in this tale of friendship and professional respect is the mutual admiration and genuine support these young stars have for one another. In an industry often fraught with competition and rivalry, Milo and Sabrina's relationship is a refreshing reminder of the power of friendship and collaboration. Their story is one of shared beginnings, individual successes, and a bond that remains unbroken, no matter how high they soar in their respective careers.
It's also worth noting the excitement surrounding Carpenter's upcoming tour. Her fans are eagerly awaiting the chance to see her perform live, and the anticipation is palpable. With her knack for creating catchy hits and her captivating stage presence, there's no doubt that the Short 'n' Sweet tour will be a memorable experience for all who attend.
As we watch these former Disney stars continue to grow and evolve, it's clear that their journeys are far from over. With Milo cheering from the wings and Sabrina blazing new trails in the music world, we can only imagine what exciting projects and collaborations lie ahead. Whether it's more music videos, live performances, or simply more game nights, one thing is certain: this tight-knit group of friends will continue to support and uplift each other, no matter where their paths may lead.
