Fans are only just realising who Sabrina Carpenter's aunt is and they're shocked.
She may be a 'Busy Woman' all the time, but Sabrina Carpenter has worked her way up to being the hottest commodity in the music industry today.
At just 25, the pop star has built her career up from roles on Disney Channel to headlining BST Hyde Park this summer.
Well, that's what most thought.

While Carpenter has no doubt worked hard to get to where she is, it turns out that she may have had some help from a family member who has helped to give her an advantage in the entertainment industry.
Hollywood is a small place and knowing anyone who's through the door usually means you've got a better chance of getting through yourself.
So, while millions around the world will be bumping her new album 'Man's Best Friend' today, it's worth clueing yourself up on how being related to a certain someone may have helped her get to this level of success.
You wouldn't have ordinarily thought that the singer was a nepo baby, given that she doesn't have a famous surname like Paris Jackson or Brooklyn Beckham.

But it turns out that Carpenter is directly related to one of the most famous and recognisable voices in TV history.
Carpenter's aunt is Nancy Cartwright, who is responsible for the voice behind The Simpsons character Bart Simpson.
Well, eat my shorts.
While she does Bart's voice, she's also responsible for his sister Maggie, Todd Flanders, Ralph Wiggum, Nelson Muntz, and others.
Cartwright's also had a hand is some big TV and film titles in decades past, namely Rugrats, Lilo & Stitch and Kim Possible - maybe talent runs through their blood.

You also wouldn't know that they were related as they're rarely seen together, though there were snapped together at the Happy Feet premiere in 2011.
The pair also haven't been shy in speaking about their relationship, as Carpenter spoke about her aunt in an interview on Capital FM in the past, as host Roman Kemp brought up the 'legend' Cartwright, asking if they were related.
She confirmed it, leaving him dumbfounded as a huge Simpsons fan.
Cartwright has even taken to social media in the earlier stages of Carpenter's entertainment career to share how proud she was, writing on X: "My niece, Sabrina Carpenter, at the Roxy! She is all of 17 - going on 30! So smart-sexy!! Look for her! She is a..." alongside one of her live performances.

Fans have taken to Reddit to share their shock, as one penned: "I had no idea that family was so FILTHY RICH," with another saying: "It’s very obvious her connections helped her and not some mystery cult or group of people controlling Hollywood behind the scenes (which is what I’ve seen multiple posts say); it’s straight forward nepotism."
A third pointed out: "Must be nice to be so damn rich she is FILTHY rich she is such an industry plant wow!!!"
A different user commented: "Damn everyone in Hollywood really is related to someone."
