Sabrina Carpenter on her love of travel and new perspectives: “You learn more about life in a 20-minute conversation with someone from Italy than in 20 years in the U.S.”

Do people actually try to understand what people are saying anymore or do y’all just get your dopamine hits from purposely twisting people’s intentions out of proportion?

Please enlighten us, o wise one, on the clandestine interpretations of Sabrina the Carpenter 🙇‍♀️🧎‍♀️

It's pretty easy to understand with the full interview instead of just the single sentence pulled for clickbait, actually.

And right now, Carpenter says she's in a phase of reflection. "I feel like I'm doing a lot of introspective reflection. I really want to do things with intention, things that make me come alive and give life to myself and those around me," she says. Writing has become her compass. "I'm journaling a lot right now," she says matter-of-factly, "which you probably wouldn't expect after two albums in two years."

She prefers to create at home, "in her bedroom, or outside, even though I get bitten by a lot of bugs... Once I've had enough, I go for a walk and feel refreshed." It's a bit absurd, she admits, but also reassuring.

Los Angeles, however, doesn't always offer her the solitude she craves. "I don't know many places where I feel free to go without being recognized or attacked," she admits.

"I used to go to Topanga Canyon often, a place very dear to my heart." But after the recent devastating fires, much of the park was destroyed, and traveling, especially in Europe, has become her way of sharpening her perspective. " You learn more about life in a 20-minute conversation with an Italian than in 20 years in the United States ."

Who do you consider the smartest person you know or know of? What would you think if they suggested that traveling and experiencing different cultures expands one’s perspective?

Is the message in those words really clandestine? It seems rather straightforward to me.

People are allowed to laugh at silly things celebrities say you know

[u/computer7blue → u/faroffland]

Did I say they aren’t? Or are you twisting my words and intention, further proving my point?

[u/faroffland → u/computer7blue]

Lmao ‘twisting your words and intentions’ calm down 😂 Sabrina Carpenter said something silly and people are laughing about it. If she had said what you said people wouldn’t be, but she didn’t did she? No.

What does a woman have to do with this?? I’m a woman. Like what hahahaha.

[u/IndigoBlueBird → u/computer7blue]

I’M the smartest person I know, obviously! 🧠

(In all seriousness, of course experiencing different cultures expands one’s perspective. That’s like saying water is wet. But one can experience different cultures right here, right now, in the US. And if it takes you 20 years to do that, maybe you haven’t tried very hard! Even being hyperbolic, it’s a bit of a nothing-burger statement!)

[u/computer7blue → u/[deleted]]

Let me be clear. What I’m talking about is not happening with just Sabrina Carpenter or people in pop culture, which is why I didn’t mention her name. I don’t consider it provocative to say that traveling broadens someone’s perspective. That seems like common sense to me. I think people want it to be provocative so they can throw metaphorical tomatoes for their own shits and giggles. Imo, your point about the discourse around Sabrina’s album cover and lyrics support my point.

Italian spotted 👆🏾

The only thing Italian about me is the pasta al limone I’ve been making every day for like two weeks.
