Sabrina Carpenter has been dreaming about prom since she was a little girl, and her gorgeous cover shoot for Seventeen Prom is the next best thing.

Until the 17-year-old Girl Meets World star gets to go to prom IRL, she's sharing her own dance night #goals, tried-and-true confidence tricks, and date advice.

"Prom is supposed to be a good experience and an amazing memory," she says. "It's okay to not have a date, especially if you're going with a group of people. (For the record, my dream date would be Lin-Manuel Miranda or Emilia Clarke.) When it comes to parties, I don't think, I'm going to meet boys, or I need to bring a boy. For me, it's more like, This is going to be a really fun party and I'm going to get dressed up and feel special — and who knows what could happen?"

Sabrina knows just the gown that would make her feel like a princess. "My dream prom dress would be like Taylor Swift's gown from the 'Love Story' music video — something that is either very lacy or has a lot of texture to it and looks like it's from a fairy tale," she says. " In general, I like to wear longer dresses because I'm short, so I can put on a pair of heels underneath and people are like, 'Did you grow?'"

Of course, even though she's never been to prom, Sabrina's more than used to hitting up big events. Her post-party routine?

"I'll go out for pizza or to In-N-Out Burger with my friends," she says. "I'm always hungry, but especially after a long night of dancing. At that point, I'm just like, 'Screw it — I'll have the milkshake!'" YAAAAAAAAAS QUEEN!
