Acacia Forgot

"My pop diva is the ultimate, Sabrina Carpenter!"

Arrietty

"My pop diva pick for 2024 is Mutha Beyoncé, of course."

"My pop diva icon of 2024 would have to be one of the power pop trio, Sabrina Carpenter. My girl is the blonde-haired, blue-eyed Barbie diva of the year, which basically just sounds like I described myself!"
