Los Angeles, California - Rising pop singer Sabrina Carpenter has opened up about facing criticism of her sexuality in a new interview for the TIME100 Next.

In a recent interview with TIME, Sabrina revealed that she's experienced the same kind of backlash that iconic celebs like Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera faced as rising stars.

The 25-year-old singer admitted that incorporating her sexuality into her work has sometimes led to negative comments.

"You'll still get the occasional mother that has a strong opinion on how you should be dressing," she explained.

She shared that her friends are less likely to see the harsh comments she receives on social media, often leaving her feeling alone in facing the backlash.
