Sabrina Carpenter Eyed for Mamma Mia 3 and Frankly, We Deserve That Chaos
Clear the stage and pass the prosecco because the gods of glitter have spoken. According to Deadline, the next pastel-drenched chapter of the Mamma Mia! cinematic universe may star none other than pop's most perfectly petty princess: Sabrina Carpenter. The Disney-to-diva pipeline has never been so chaotically chic. You thought the Mamma Mia mania was over? Oh, sweetie. The musical is strutting back onto Broadway like she owns the street and honestly, she does. Beginning August 2, the Winter Garden Theatre becomes ground zero for emotional breakdowns set to Voulez-Vous. The show's officially relaunching just after George Clooney's Good Night and Good Luckplay closes because juxtaposition is couture. And come August 14, the gala opening will be full of teeth, tits, and ticket sales. Judy Craymer, producer, pop whisperer, and queen of the glitter-industrial complex, sat down with Deadline to spill the tea and immediately scalded everyone. Yes, she confirmed a possible Mamma Mia! TV adaptation. No, she didn't give us dates. Yes, she made it clear she's still that b*tch in charge. And then she dropped a bombshell: Sabrina Carpenter is on her mood board. When prompted about casting for a future film, Craymer didn't hesitate. 'She'd be a goddess,' she said about Sabrina. 'Or some relation who would look very much like Meryl Streep.' What does that even mean? Who cares. We want it. Carpenter in chiffon, writhing on a jetty in slow-motion while singing S.O.S. is the cinema we deserve. And let's be real. Sabrina's been auditioning for this since Espresso dropped. Deadline got Craymer waxing philosophical about ABBA's eternal chokehold on the human psyche. 'The Sabrina Carpenter generation and Dua Lipa's and even Pink's are all influenced by the songs.' Translation. Every woman with a Spotify Premium account is ready to scream Gimme Gimme Gimme into a karaoke mic while blackout drunk. This isn't nostalgia. It's bloodline. Let's not pretend this franchise ever cared about plot. The first movie was about a woman who invites three former flings to her daughter's wedding and never tells her which one is the dad. The sequel is literally a prequel and a sequel at the same time. Continuity? Never heard of her. And that's why it works. Mamma Mia! thrives on emotional terrorism and ABBA harmonies. It's cinema for the deranged and Carpenter is more than qualified to lead that cult. She's not just a pop star. She's a persona. Sabrina Carpenter has built her empire on slick vocals, tongue-in-cheek sensuality, and the kind of unbothered confidence that makes straight men nervous. She's Disney-bred, Billboard-certified, and dressed like she's ready to slap someone in the face with a bedazzled clutch. Let her run barefoot through the Greek islands with three boyfriends and a dream. Let her cry-sing Slipping Through My Fingers. Let her wear Meryl's wig. This might still be a rumor, but it's one we're choosing to manifest with full delusion. Carpenter in Mamma Mia 3 isn't just good casting. It's justice. The musical is rebirthing. The TV show is lurking. The legacy is alive. And if Judy Craymer knows what's good for her, Sabrina's already been measured for her Donna Sheridan overalls. Because darling, the next generation of ABBA-twinks, TikTok girls, and terminally online sad girls is waiting. They want chaos. They want vocals. They want Carpenter.

Sabrina Carpenter Drops Teaser in Micro Shorts and Chaos Ensues
Call your therapist, alert your group chat, and cancel your summer plans: Sabrina Carpenter is teasing something, and the Internet is already combusting. Coming hot off the success of her sixth studio album, Short n' Sweet, the same sugary, slinky record that gifted us the cultural tsunami that was 'Espresso,' Carpenter is back to reclaim the crown she didn't even let go of. At this point, let's be honest: everyone else is just renting space in the pop landscape she now owns. On Monday, Sabrina, pop's current it-girl and living embodiment of a Bratz doll with a publishing deal, casually detonated the timeline with a cryptic teaser on social media. The clip? A silent film femme fatale moment, if the femme fatale was blonde, 26, and dangerously close to being America's Next Sweetheart and Homewrecker . In the short video, Carpenter is seen hitchhiking in the most unserious outfit possible: micro denim shorts, a white crop top, heels, and the confidence of a woman who knows she just sold out arenas across Europe. There's barely any audio, just some off-camera laughter and a cheeky 'Oh boy,' delivered with all the nonchalance of someone who knows she's about to upend the pop charts again. No context. No warning. Just legs, vibes, and viral potential. Naturally, the Internet collapsed. By Monday afternoon, the teaser had already ignited a digital maelstrom, with Twitter/X users spiraling into lustful, chaotic worship: 'Second day of Pride and she knew exactly what would get my gay ass.' 'She didn't tell anyone and then BOOM she drops this crazy teaser… with a really outfit.' 'My brake pads would've popped off by how fast I would've stopped the whip lol.' 'Are we seeing this? Am I ready? Are you ready? Is this for real? AHHHH I cannot waittt!!!!!' 'I'm highkey getting distracted and I love it.' If Sabrina's goal was to break the Internet with a 16-second serve and no lyrics, the mission was violently accomplished. While Carpenter has remained tight-lipped about the actual meaning behind the teaser, fan theories are spiraling like espresso shots at 2 a.m. Many are convinced it's a visual hint for a new single, a follow-up to 'Espresso,' or potentially a long-awaited video treatment for Short n' Sweet's track 'Busy Woman,' a fan-favorite that's practically begging for a visual companion. And let's be real: if there's one thing Sabrina Carpenter knows how to do, it's give the girls (and the gays) the moment they need, not the one they expect. The timing, of course, is suspiciously perfect. The North American leg of her Short n' Sweet World Tour resumes in July, and with her momentum showing zero signs of slowing, a new drop, be it a single, a video, or another sonic strut through feminine rage and flirty chaos, is more than likely. She is, after all, a busy woman. And as if dominating the pop scene wasn't enough, Carpenter has been everywhere since wrapping her European tour in April. She recently appeared on Saturday Night Live alongside Quinta Brunson and sauntered into the Met Gala in a Louis Vuitton look that screamed: 'glamorous Wall Street mistress in the best way.' One-piece blazer. Thigh. Train. It was giving the CEO of Being the Moment. There's also that juicy rumor about a possible role in Mamma Mia! 3, sparked after legendary producer Judy Craymer name-dropped Carpenter in an interview with Deadline: 'She'd be a goddess or some relation who would look very much like Meryl Streep.' Let's pause. Sabrina Carpenter playing Meryl Streep's daughter in a musical about ABBA songs, Greek beaches, and unplanned pregnancies. Yeah. That's gay rights. While the film hasn't been confirmed (yet), early development is reportedly underway, and Carpenter is already the Internet's top contender. Sabrina Carpenter isn't just playing the game anymore. She's setting the rules, changing the outfits, and telling you when to scream. Short n' Sweet made her a superstar. 'Espresso' turned her into a cultural juggernaut. And now, whatever she's about to drop next? It's not just anticipated; it's being prayed for. As we head into another sun-soaked, serotonin-starved summer, let's be clear: Sabrina Carpenter is not coming to play. She's coming to conquer, confuse, and make you question your sexuality in 15 seconds or less. Oh boy, indeed.

Sabrina Carpenter, Ariana Grande, Dua Lipa & More Sign Open Letter for LGBTQ+ Suicide Prevention
To kick off Pride Month this year, Sabrina Carpenter, Ariana Grande, Dua Lipa and several more stars have added their names to an open letter advocating to keep federal funding in place for LGBTQ+ suicide prevention measures. As unveiled by The Trevor Project on Monday (June 2), the letter comes in direct response to a leaked United States Department of Health and Human Services budget that showed the Donald Trump administration's plans to eliminate funding for the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline's LGBTQ+-related services, which actively supports young people in the LGBTQ+ community considering suicide. Despite it providing help to more than 1.2 million estimated callers since its launch in 2022, the proposal would have the crisis line's funding slashed entirely after going into effect on Oct. 1. More from Billboard 8 Trans & Nonbinary Artists Get Real on the Fight for Trans Rights in 2025: 'Try to Give a F–k' 'Happy Gilmore 2' Trailer Features Cameos From Eminem, Post Malone & Bad Bunny Lady Gaga's 'Wednesday' Character Confirmed, First Six Minutes of Season Two Released 'We are heartbroken by the proposal to eliminate federal funding for the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline's LGBTQ+ Youth Specialized Services — a move that will have devastating, life-threatening consequences for young people across the country,' reads the message, which was also signed by Pedro Pascal, Jamie Lee Curtis, Cara Delevingne, Sarah Paulson, Daniel Radcliffe and Darren Criss. 'As artists, creators, and public figures, our platforms come with responsibility. And today, that responsibility is clear: We must speak out to protect the mental health and lives of LGBTQ+ youth. We will not stay silent.' Acknowledging that youth suicide in the LGBTQ+ community is a 'public health crisis' — with The Trevor Project estimating that more than 1.8 million in the U.S. alone seriously consider suicide every year — the signatories directly called on Congress to 'do the right thing' by restoring and protecting funding for 988 in the 2026 budget. The letter ends with a message of support addressed to people most affected by the proposed cuts, as well as an encouragement to sign the nonprofit's petition to save its program. 'To every LGBTQ+ young person reading this: You are not alone,' it concludes. 'We see you. We value you. You have the right to feel safe, supported, and loved exactly as you are. You deserve access to life-saving services that honor your humanity. You may be hurting. You may be scared. You may feel like no one hears you — but we do. We will keep showing up and speaking out. We will not stop fighting for you.' Among the other musicians who signed are Aly & AJ, Bea Miller, Blondshell, Christina Aguilera, Diplo, Ethel Cain, FLETCHER, GAYLE, Julia Michaels, Kelsea Ballerini, King Princess, MARINA, Orville Peck, Tove Lo and Troye Sivan. More big names are likely to sign in the coming days, as the letter will stay open for new signatories on a rolling basis. The message comes at a particularly harrowing time for members of the LGBTQ+ community, who have watched as Trump has spent his first few months back in office working to undo protections for gay, trans and nonbinary people. GLAAD documented at least 225 attacks on LGBTQ+ rights within the first 100 days of the twice-impeached POTUS' second term, including attempts to defund HIV research and cut programs supporting the community. But as The Trevor Project and its allies put it in their letter, now is the time to 'rise together — loudly and determined — for hope, for dignity, and for every LGBTQ+ young person to know that their lives are worthy and that there will always be someone on the other end of the line.' If you or anyone you know is in crisis, call 988 or visit the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline's website for free, confidential emotional support and resources 24/7.
