Sabrina Carpenter Is Waiting to Eat McDonald’s Until This One Thing Happens

Sabrina Carpenter took the world by storm last year. Though she got her start on a television show years ago (like fellow Disney Channel alum Selena Gomez), she only recently entered the annals of pop stardom. She spent last summer as one of the opening acts for Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour, and her hit single, “Espresso,” was a chart-topping hit for weeks on end. The song is so catchy, I officially challenge you not to hum it while you read this story.

Naturally, Sabrina has been everywhere on the internet. In an interview with LADBible, she revealed that she has never eaten at McDonald’s before. Shocking, I know! But what’s even more curious is that she has a specific goal she wants to accomplish before indulging in her first Big Mac.

Why is Sabrina Carpenter waiting to eat at McDonald’s?

Initially, when I had heard that Sabrina had never eaten at McDonald’s, I thought of two things. First, I wondered if she didn’t think McDonald’s was very healthy. And second, I felt sorry about the fact that she has never indulged in the simplicity of a perfect McDonald’s hash brown!

But according to this interview, it’s not that she doesn’t want to eat under the golden arches. It’s just that she is waiting for a specific achievement before she allows herself to enjoy it in all its glory.

It didn’t take any time at all for fans to pull it all together and theorize that Sabrina was waiting for her first Grammy before grabbing a Snack Wrap. The interview with LADBible took place in 2024, and Sabrina won not just one, but two Grammys at the 2025 ceremony in February.

As far as professional goals go, there really isn’t a higher honor for a musician than winning a Grammy, so it makes sense to speculate that this career achievement means she will finally go to McDonald’s. Let’s see if she enjoys the “Taste” of a McMuffin as much as the rest of the world does!
