Sabrina Carpenter's fifth album Emails I Can't Send marked a turning point in the artists career. Even with the eerie start-stop nature of her release campaign, the fifth album prevailed as a success with breakout hit "Nonsense". Rewind to 2021 as Keith Montena and special guest Abbey Velischek break down the infamous love triangle that plagued the star, her response song "Skin", and how the star shifted directions and created a very strong album. Topics include the singer's slot on Taylor Swift's The Eras Tour, her videos including "Feather", and the battle stars face when breaking out of the Disney or child-star umbrella.

Olivia Rodrigo's sophomore album chronicles her 19th year and journey after achieving such a high level of success with her debut album. Keith Montena returns this week with special guest Carly Giacoio to break down the campaign surrounding GUTS, how Olivia's success rivals other young Disney stars, and the speculation surrounding drama with Taylor Swift. This is also a detailed look into SOUR's success in retrospect and the viral plagiarism accusations. Other topics include Rodrigo's creative process with collaborators like Dan Nigro & Ian Kirkpatrick, Grammy nominations, the VMAs, and The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes soundtrack single.
