Carpenter began her acting career in 2010 with a guest role on the NBC drama Law & Order: SVU. Two years later she was cast as the best friend of Rowan Blanchard on the Disney Channel's coming-of-age sitcom Girl Meets World, the sequel to the immensely popular '90s sitcom Boy Meets World. In 2014 Carpenter inked a deal with Hollywood Records and issued the single "Can't Blame a Girl for Trying" in March of that year, which was followed by her debut EP of the same name a month later. In 2015 Carpenter delivered her debut full-length studio album, Eyes Wide Open, which featured the single "We'll Be the Stars." She returned the following year with the single "All We Have Is Love." ~ James Christopher Monger
