“If you come to the show, you’ll [also] hear the ballads, you’ll hear the more introspective numbers. I find irony and humor in all of that, because it seems to be a recurring theme. I’m not upset about it, other than I feel mad pressure to be funny sometimes.”

Fortunately, Carpenter is just not letting the haters cease her from dwelling out her dream.
“All I knew was that it wasn’t going to stop me from doing what I loved, ever,” she mentioned. “That’s kind of how I’ve always felt. Sometimes, it’s about how you are able to be resilient.”
