Mainly the writing on the shirt. Might be “Seattle” on the top, but gives me more the impression of an image gen model making up its mind halfway while generating “Battle”, adding some none sensical stuff at the bottom with inconsistent font/print style.
Also geometry of the brush seems to be quite of to me.
Other possible hints are masked by the convenient blurry style.
Looks like a real photo with iOS’s image enhancements that automatically get applied to every photo.
No, looks like a still slightly grainy photo taken by one of the first phone cams 20 years back under extreme low light conditions.
Excessive lowpass filtering to get rid of the noise + clearly visible shake motion blurring (look at the letters) because of long exposure.
No recent phone camera performs that bad any more, let alone an Iphone cam…
But emulating poor performance cameras has been a tool of choice to mask fake image artifacts for a long time now.
Sabrina Carpenter is known for being a relatable goofball from time to time on social media.
That’s the first real argument l heard supporting that this may not be fake!
A google search with some suitable search terms actually found a few unpolished non-publicity pics for me, but still none of these were comparable in any way to OP’s one, though.
I searched on DuckDuckGo for “sabrina carpenter brushing teeth in Seattle sweatshirt” and got a bunch of random images when I had ai:hide on (my standard). As soon as I switched to ai:show the image from this post shows up as the top result.
What makes you think it’s AI?

I had a reverse image search, it’s a Sabrina Carpenter meme and I dont think its AI but I’d didn’t dive deep enough to find the earliest date.

No real reason to think this is gen AI.

It says “BATTLE MUM.”
Congrats on having the intellectual horsepower and self confidence of a Trump Cabinet member.
I can’t tell if you’re joking or not, but that’s definitely an E, not a B, so the sweatshirt undoubtedly says “SEATTLE (something)”
