A Heartfelt Celebration of Friendship and Music
Joey King is not just a talented actress but also an ardent supporter of her friend, Sabrina Carpenter, who has recently taken the music world by storm. At the Despicable Me 4 premiere on June 9 at Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York City, King opened up to PEOPLE about her admiration for Carpenter’s burgeoning pop career. In a candid and heartfelt conversation, King expressed her pride, excitement, and obsession with Carpenter’s new hit song, “Please Please Please.”

Sabrina Carpenter’s Meteoric Rise
Sabrina Carpenter, best known for her roles on Disney Channel and her burgeoning music career, has been making waves with her recent hits. Her latest single, “Please Please Please,” produced by Taylor Swift’s longtime collaborator Jack Antonoff, has been particularly impactful. The song’s catchy tune and addictive music video, which features Carpenter’s boyfriend, Barry Keoghan, have captivated fans, including Joey King.

King couldn’t hold back her enthusiasm, saying, “I’m so happy for her and I just can’t stop singing ‘Please Please Please’ … get out of my head.” Her excitement is palpable, as she jokingly adds, “It’s so rude of her to make a hit like that. It’s also so rude to make such an addicting music video.”

An Emotional Performance
Joey King recently had the chance to watch Carpenter perform live at the Governors Ball music festival on June 8. It was a deeply emotional experience for her. “Yesterday is the first time I’ve seen her perform in a few years because every time that I wanted to go to one of her big shows, our schedules kind of miss each other,” King explained. The performance moved her to tears. “I literally was sobbing after the show. I was so proud of her. She’s just amazing,” she said, reflecting on her friend’s stunning performance.

A Friendship Forged in the Industry
King and Carpenter’s friendship dates back several years to an industry charity event where they first met. Despite their Disney backgrounds and initial acquaintance, their close bond developed over time. Both actresses have since achieved significant milestones in their careers. Carpenter recently opened for Taylor Swift on the Eras Tour, solidifying her status as a pop sensation with her hit song “Espresso.” Meanwhile, King continues to shine in Hollywood, starring alongside Steve Carell and Kristen Wiig in Despicable Me 4, and appearing in the upcoming Netflix rom-com A Family Affair with Nicole Kidman and Zac Efron.

Carpenter’s Infectious Hit
“Please Please Please” has not only dominated the charts but also taken over King’s playlist. The song’s infectious melody and engaging music video have captivated fans and critics alike. King’s playful complaints about the song’s catchiness underscore its widespread appeal. She humorously recounted how the video kept her awake into the early hours of the morning. “It’s really rude to make me watch it six times at 2:00 a.m. when I want to go to bed,” she laughed.

A Bright Future for Both Stars
Both Joey King and Sabrina Carpenter are experiencing significant highs in their careers. King’s latest project, Despicable Me 4, is set to hit theaters on July 3, promising to be a summer blockbuster. Her role in A Family Affair also has fans eagerly anticipating her performance alongside Hollywood heavyweights.

Carpenter, on the other hand, continues to climb the music charts and gain critical acclaim. Her collaboration with Jack Antonoff on “Please Please Please” is just the latest in a series of successful releases that have established her as a formidable force in the music industry.

Celebrating Success Together
The mutual admiration and support between King and Carpenter are evident. Their friendship, rooted in shared experiences in the entertainment industry, has grown stronger over the years. As they both navigate their respective paths to stardom, their bond remains a source of inspiration and joy.

King’s heartfelt reflections on Carpenter’s success highlight the importance of celebrating the achievements of friends and peers. Her candid comments at the Despicable Me 4 premiere offer a glimpse into the genuine affection and pride she feels for Carpenter.
