“I will never take this chapter for granted and what it taught me and how much closer it brought me to each and every one of you,” the singer wrote on Instagram in honor of the album’s third anniversary
Before Sabrina Carpenter was rightfully objectifying men and serving up espresso shots on last year’s Short n’ Sweet, she was working late writing Emails I Can’t Send. The singer is celebrating the third anniversary of the album that served as the breakthrough before the actual breakthrough with some light reminiscing.
“3 years of my dear emails,” Carpenter wrote on an Instagram Story. “This album means so much to me and was the gateway to many special moments I couldn’t see ahead. I will never take this chapter for granted and what it taught me and how much closer it brought me to each and every one of you.
Thanks to those of you who sing along. I love you forever!”
To commemorate the occasion, Carpenter has made the deluxe version of the record, 2023’s Emails I Can’t Send Fwd, available on vinyl for the first time.

Before “Espresso,” “Please Please Please,” and “Taste” became the ultimate hit trifecta for Short n’ Sweet, Carpenter offered glimpses into her pop potential with the fleeting hits “Nonsense” and “Feather” from Emails. The songs were her first to land on the Billboard Hot 100 and remain staples in her live show. And though it never reached those heights, the drama-fueled single “Because I Liked a Boy” showed another side to her, as well.
“What that era taught me was to just trust myself, and trust that everything is going to work out the way it’s supposed to, and trust that relationships are put into your life for a reason,” Carpenter said about Emails I Can’t Send in her recent Rolling Stone cover story. “You might not see that in the moment, but you see it later.” When asked how often she thinks about this era, Carpenter paused before responding: “I don’t think about it, ever.”
