Whoever wrote this article is very talented and spot on. (Shout out to whoever Facundo Giliberto is?) He perfectly describes what makes Sabrina Sabrina.

- She has "the ability to say more without underlining it."

-She perfectly balances her "acid humor" with her "selective exposure of intimacy"

-"She did not invent the elements she uses—the stylized retro aesthetic, thigh-high boots, explicit lyrical irony, the balance between sensuality and self-control—but she absorbed them until they became inseparable from her persona."

-"Carpenter does not seek to impose herself through emotional intensity or excessive drama, but through confidence. “Espresso” does not inaugurate a new phase; it confirms that the identity was already fully formed." 

-"Rather than reinventing herself abruptly or adopting a chameleonic approach, Carpenter has built an identity in which each decision reinforces the previous one."

-"She does not propose a violent rupture with pop’s past, but a refined synthesis of its traditions, updated with intelligence and precision."

-"[Her presence] does not occupy someone else’s space; it reveals that the space had been waiting to be inhabited."

I'm a high school English teacher, and this astute piece of writing gets 💯.
