In recent years, Sabrina Carpenter has emerged as one of the most prominent names among the new generation of pop artists. She has made a huge impact with нιт songs such as “Espresso,” “Please Please Please,” and “Feather,” captivating global au∂ιєnces with her fresh musical style, strong personality, and charismatic performances. From her beginnings as a Disney star, Sabrina has steadily established herself on the international music scene.
Notably, it is not only her music that attracts attention—almost every detail surrounding Sabrina Carpenter has recently become a trending topic on social media. For example, at the 2026 Grammy Awards, her French manicure went viral, with Glamour magazine even naming it one of the biggest beauty trends of the spring season. It is fair to say that Sabrina Carpenter has now become one of the defining fashion and pop culture icons for today's younger generation.
However, like many other female celebrities such as Emma Stone, Gracie Abrams, Belle Mariano, Arci Muñoz, and Darren Espanto, Sabrina Carpenter has also fallen under the spell of the world's biggest K-pop stars: BTS. Sabrina has expressed her affection for BTS on multiple occasions. The singer even mentioned the group in an interview, saying, “I do listen to K-pop sometimes, but I've always liked BTS and their music. In the future, I'd really love to work with them.”
However, what caught fans' attention the most was that Sabrina seemed to have an obvious soft spot for SUGA!
In the past, she posted an Instagram photo of herself posing with a life-size standee of the BTS rapper that she happened to come across at a shopping mall. Although it was a simple moment, Sabrina's excited expression made many people feel as though they were seeing a genuine fangirl shining through. On another occasion, she was also spotted wearing a Shooky headband—the BT21 character created by SUGA—which further highlighted her fondness for the rapper.
What's even more interesting is that Sabrina's admiration for SUGA became so well known that it eventually inspired a viral meme following the 2026 Grammy Awards. The original image captured Sabrina sensually licking her lips while applauding, her eyes sparkling as if she were completely mesmerized and thoroughly enjoying whatever was unfolding before her. The prestigious αмєяι¢αn magazine Complex even shared the photo with the headline, “The internet loves this photo of Sabrina Carpenter.” Fans reacted enthusiastically, commenting, “The kind of reaction we liveeee for,” “THE TOPPEST TIER,” and “She’s gorgeous, looks angelic,” among others.
Soon afterward, internet users began editing Sabrina's expression onto pictures of food, outfits, celebrities, and virtually anything they adored, turning the image into a trend that spread across multiple platforms. One of the most viral versions featured Sabrina's expression paired with a famous moment of SUGA from a livestream during the Permission to Dance On Stage world tour era. In the edited image, SUGA was wearing a simple black T-shirt, effortlessly exuding charisma, while his slicked-back orange hair gave him a strikingly powerful and attractive appearance. What made the moment even more captivating was SUGA's warm, slightly husky voice after performing live for two consecutive hours.
The coincidence between Sabrina's viral “fan moment” and her previous “SUGA's fangirl signs” sent the ARMY community into a frenzy. Furthermore, considering the remarkable musical compatibility between the two artists, fans have even begun dreaming about the possibility of SUGA producing and collaborating with Sabrina Carpenter on a song someday. If such a collaboration were ever to happen, many believe it could easily become a masterpiece worthy of competing at the Grammy Awards.
Witnessing Sabrina Carpenter's obvious affection for SUGA and BTS, fans couldn't help but enthusiastically comment:
