Forgive me for starting this story off on such a deeply woo-woo note, but there's really no other way to say it: When Sabrina Carpenter and I part ways after a two-hour breakfast at Sant Ambroeus in the West Village, her taking off into a black car in a big furry leopard-print bucket hat, my first thought is that she operates with the knowing self-awareness of someone who's been here before. It's not enough to call the 24-year-old "mature" or an "old soul"—although both of those things are true, micro-miniskirts and platform boots be damned.
It's more that she walks through the world already embodying some of the lessons that take many of us decades or even a lifetime to learn: how to trust her gut, never take herself too seriously (while still working really freaking hard), and the magic of staying present in the moment. Then there's this insight, which she dropped between bites of toast: "I feel like I have a very, very strong relationship with the universe and not even in an astrology-type or spiritual way. I think I've always just been very good at knowing the things that I want to do and that I can make them happen." You walk away from a conversation with Sabrina thinking, Damn, she's really got this figured out. |
