What do Katrina Sharpenter, Serena Carpen-Terra, Christina Barbenter, and Regina Harpenter all have in common (besides their small stature and great hair)? They’re alter egos of one Sabrina Carpenter, bringing their various charms to bear on delivering The Short Report—a special dispatch from the Short n’ Sweet pop star (and Vogue’s March 2025 cover girl).
While Katrina Sharpenter can be trusted to anchor the news with a smile, an updo, and a pair of nerd-chic glasses, Serena Carpen-Terra is all red-carpet glamour—just don’t wear Crocs with ankle socks around her. Meanwhile, Christina Barbenter brings the Karen-from-Mean-Girls energy with her weather-forecasting and scanty attire; and Regina Harpenter is a sports reporter after my own heart. (“I’m standing here with a ball player who plays ball.” Huge Super Bowl mood!)
If you’ve ever longed to see Sabrina Carpenter interview herself, however, look no further than the pop star’s sitdown with Katrina Sharpenter. Although Carpenter brushes off the allegations that she’s “running a nationwide cult,” powered by the mesmeric appeal of pop hits like “Espresso” and “Please Please Please,” there’s clearly something otherworldly about the hold she has on her fans. It’s a good thing The Short Report has very real and objective journalists on the case!
