Sabrina Carpenter Compares Meeting Paul McCartney With ‘Stranger Things’. The singer appeared on The Late Show to discuss her new holiday special, A Nonsense Christmas.
Sabrina Carpenter stopped by The Late Show to promote her new holiday special, A Nonsense Christmas, and to discuss her six Grammy nominations. During the conversation with host Stephen Colbert, the pop singer recalled hearing the Beatles‘ “Rocky Raccoon” for the first time as a child and immediately falling head over heels for Paul McCartney.
After downing an espresso martini, Carpenter told Colbert that she has always wanted to be a singer and that writing a song is her favorite thing to do. “Is it true the Beatles inspired you to start writing your own music?” Colbert asked.
“When I was very, very young, my dad played me ‘Rocky Raccoon’ for the first time, and I was so mesmerized by that song and the songwriting of it that I fell in love with Paul McCartney,” she replied. “I was convinced that was my husband, my future husband. But he was quite old. And I was so young I didn’t understand that he was much older than me … So when I grew up I just fell in love with his songwriting.”
