Sabrina Carpenter's Early Stardom and Musical Legacy At just 10 years old, Sabrina Carpenter demonstrated an innate talent for performance that would later define her career. A video of her singing The Beatles’ “Come Together” went viral, showcasing her confidence and vocal prowess. The clip, which circulated online in 2009, featured Carpenter delivering the John Lennon-Paul McCartney classic with a cheeky sense of humor, even altering a few notes while pretending to know the meaning of the lyrics. Her rendition, which some viewers noted was actually a Michael Jackson-style cover, highlighted her ability to blend charisma with musical skill. Carpenter’s performance was part of a broader journey that began with her participation in Miley Cyrus’s online fan club, MileyWorld. Cyrus and her team organized a singing competition called “Are You a Superstar?” (also known as “Be a Star”), where Carpenter auditioned. The contest attracted around 7,000 participants, and Carpenter’s performances earned her third place. At the time, she was 10 years old, while the eventual winner, 16-year-old Amy Colalella, claimed the grand prize. The video’s comment section reflected widespread admiration for Carpenter’s talent. One commenter highlighted her meteoric rise, noting that 15 years later, she became the second artist in history—after the Beatles—to have her first three songs debut in the top five of the Billboard Hot 100 simultaneously. Another praised her ability to stay true to the original melody while adding her own flair, stating, “John would be smiling. A star is born.” Beyond “Come Together,” Carpenter showcased her versatility by covering other songs during the contest, including Cyrus’ “Hoedown Throwdown” and “The Climb,” as well as Christina Aguilera’s “Makes Me Wanna Pray.#miley_cyrus #grammys #sabrina_carpenter #amy_colalella #the_beatles
