Joey King can’t seem to get enough of her friend Sabrina Carpenter’s latest hit single, “Please Please Please.” The actress is raving about the catchy tune, even going so far as to call it “rude” for being so addictive. King’s enthusiasm for Carpenter’s music is palpable, and she’s overjoyed to see her friend’s career soaring to new heights.
In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE at the Despicable Me 4 premiere in New York City, King gushed about Carpenter’s recent performance at the Governors Ball music festival. “I literally was sobbing after the show. I was so proud of her. She’s just amazing,” the 24-year-old star shared, reflecting on the emotional experience of witnessing her friend’s talent on stage.
A Captivating Performance
King’s excitement over Carpenter’s live performance was evident as she recounted the event. “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 just schedules kind of miss each other,” she explained, highlighting the rarity of the occasion.
The Act star’s pride in her friend’s accomplishments was palpable, and she couldn’t help but express her joy at Carpenter’s success. “I’m so happy for her,” King declared, her admiration for the “Espresso” singer shining through.
An Irresistible Earworm
But it wasn’t just Carpenter’s live performance that had King captivated. The actress also confessed her obsession with the singer’s latest hit, “Please Please Please.” “I just can’t stop singing ‘Please Please Please’ … get out of my head,” she admitted, playfully acknowledging the song’s infectious quality.
King’s appreciation for the track extended beyond just the music itself. She also praised the accompanying music video, which features Carpenter’s boyfriend, Barry Keoghan. “It’s so rude of her to make a hit like that. It’s also so rude to make such an addicting music video,” she quipped, her admiration for her friend’s work evident in her lighthearted jabs.
A Friendship Forged in the Industry
King and Carpenter’s friendship dates back many years, having met at an industry charity event when they were both just starting out in their careers. While they didn’t instantly click, their bond has grown stronger over time, and King couldn’t be prouder of her friend’s achievements.
As they both continue to reach new heights in their respective careers – Carpenter opening for Taylor Swift on her Eras Tour and King starring in Despicable Me 4 and the upcoming Netflix rom-com A Family Affair – their friendship remains a constant source of support and celebration.
