2024 was a successful year for Sabrina Carpenter and she even caught the attention of Araki
In a post @jojo_wikiAraki enthusiastically declared, “I know I'm a little late to the party, but I'm currently obsessed with Sabrina Carpenter. What an icon!” Araki often praises other artists and creators whose work he likes, but fans were pleasantly shocked to hear Sabrina on his list of inspirations. Now is a better time than ever to be a fan of Sabrina Carpenter, as she's recently rocketed into the public eye like never before. From the North American leg of his Short n' Sweet Tour to being nominated for multiple Grammys, Araki's recognition is just one of Sabrina's many achievements this year.
Sabrina has been releasing music since 2014, with her debut single “Can't Blame a Girl for Trying” and her debut album in 2015. Eyes wide open. Also in 2014, she was an actress in Girl Meets World on Disney Channel, a spin-off of a previous series, Boy meets the world. These experiences marked her first introduction to fame, but it was only recently that she began to enjoy the true stardom she enjoys today. On the Billboard 200 chart, Short and sweet debuted in first placemaking it very clear that Sabrina is definitely one to watch, and Araki noticed that too.
Fans have started to wonder if a future character or character will be inspired by Sabrina
As Araki includes a number of pop culture references in his work, this concept seems quite likely.
One of the most fascinating aspects JoJo's Bizarre Adventure and the wide variety of cultural references that Araki weaves into his stories. From song titles to fashion brands, characters and Stands are named after various significant places. For example, to the extent that JoJo's musical easter eggs go, he named Stands after songs by British rock band Queen, British girl group The Spice Girls, American rock band REO Speedwagon, and Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose, just to name a few. some of the clever musical references incorporated into his work over the years.
Mentioning Sabrina Carpenter specifically was not a mistake and caused fans to speculate about a future Stand or character that could be named after one of Sabrina's song titles, albums, or even herself. Since it seems Araki's favorite way to show respect and love to fellow creatives is by giving them subtle roles in his own manga, it seems incredibly likely that Sabrina Carpenter will make an appearance in JoJo's one day in some form or fashion, but fans will have to wait and see. In any case, it is clear from this observation that the JoJo's creator has exceptional musical taste.
