How Did Taylor Swift and Sabrina Carpenter Meet?

A few months later, Sabrina would announce Taylor as the winner for Favorite Music Video with “All Too Well (Taylor’s Version),” at the 2022 American Music Awards in November, where the pair shared a sweet moment. As Taylor went up to accept the award, she made a slight jab at their 11-inch height difference by patting the top of the “nonsense” singer’s head. Sabrina laughed, and the pair shared a hug.
On top of that, the pair hugged multiple times at 2023 the MTV VMAs in September, and were sene chatting it up.
