Tucker Wetmore Makes DM Confession Involving Sabrina Carpenter

Country music rising star Tucker Wetmore is proving he’s got more than just chart-topping tunes up his sleeve.

Known for admitting he has a soft spot for blondes, Wetmore hasn’t found “the one” just yet.

So rather than waiting around in a small town, Tucker Wetmore decided to shoot his shot with one of today’s biggest blonde pop icons: Sabrina Carpenter.

During a recent appearance on E! Dose Daily, Wetmore admitted he slid into pop sensation Sabrina Carpenter’s DMs, hoping to spark a connection with the “Espresso” hitmaker.

“I was trying to think of something clever,” he confessed with a grin. “But I wanted to keep it short and sweet," referencing her iconic album and tour.

Wetmore admitted he hit send just “last week” and was feeling confident about his approach. “I thought it was good,” he laughed. Unfortunately, Sabrina didn’t bite, at least, not yet.

Wetmore has previously opened up about how big of a fan of bold female pop stars like Chappell Roan (“‘The Giver’ is pretty good”) he is. And, most notably, Sabrina Carpenter.

In fact, he told Nylon that a collab with the “Espresso” singer is at the very top of his wishlist: “That’s No. 1 on the bucket list,” he said. “That would be sick.”

Tucker Wetmore may be making waves in country music, but his story is far from your typical Nashville come-up.

Raised in the tiny town of Kalama, Washington,  “2,500 people if everybody’s home,” he jokes, Wetmore spent most of his early years focused on football. But a high school blues class unexpectedly changed the course of his life. Intrigued by the music, he got his hands on what he calls a “janky” keyboard and began secretly teaching himself to play piano in his bedroom.

“Nobody knew I played besides a handful of people, maybe,” he recalled in a recent interview with Nylon. That is, until his mom overheard him playing “Hey Jude” behind closed doors. “She comes back to my room and she goes, ‘Tucker, what are you doing?’ I [was] like, ‘Playing the piano.’ She goes, ‘Since when?’”

That quiet persistence paid off.

The week he turned 24, Wetmore wrote what would become his breakout songs, “Wine Into Whiskey” and “Wind Up Missin’ You.”

He teased the tracks on TikTok with just 40,000 followers, and watched them go viral almost overnight. “That was probably the moment I was like, ‘I might have a chance,’” he shared.

He didn’t waste it. Wetmore dove headfirst into crafting his debut album, "What Not To," a deeply personal 19-track project that explores love, loss, and the lessons learned along the way.

He co-wrote 11 of the songs himself, including the brutally honest opener “Whatcha Think Is Gonna Happen?” and the emotional title track, which touches on the pain of growing up without a father.

Behind the rising fame, viral hits, and buzzworthy DMs, Tucker Wetmore is clear about one thing. He wouldn’t be where he is without his faith.

The country breakout star previously revealed that belief, both in a higher power and in his purpose, is what’s carried him through the chaos of life and the pressures of the music industry.

“I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for faith,” Wetmore told Fox News Digital last year. “Spiritually and musically… and my faith that I have within my work and in the music and stuff.”

Though his social media presence may show polished highlights, Wetmore is refreshingly open about the reality behind the scenes, especially when things get tough.

“I pray every single day for just like random stuff,” he said. “It’s hard in the line of work that I do to not slip up… and when I do, I lean on my people and I’ll say, ‘Hey, I’m struggling really bad right now.’ But then He always keeps me centered.”

That centering, Wetmore says, is what reminds him to stay the course, even when it’s not easy. “He always brings me right back and says, ‘No, this is the path that I have for you,’” he shared. “And I’ve never doubted that. But it is tough. I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t.”

Still, in true Tucker fashion, he finds peace in surrender. “Then I sit back, and I’m like, ‘No, this is it. This is His path for me.’ And I just got to sit back and trust and listen.”
