Sabrina Carpenter Considered Banning Phones During Her Concerts
If you've ever been to a Sabrina Carpenter show, then you already know it's full of Short n' Sweet treats. So much so, you might want to record her next 'Juno' position or have the entirety of 'Tornado Warnings' on your camera roll to soundtrack your next crash out. Either way, snapping those memories might not even be an option during her concerts in the future.
During an interview with Rolling Stone, the 'Manchild' singer got candid about playing live shows and how it feels to see a crowd full of phone cameras aimed at her. Of course, she's no stranger to lenses as a Grammy-winning pop star, but she revealed that she might consider banning phones from her shows at some point in her blossoming career, as artists like Madonna, Adele, and Bob Dylan have done in the past.
'This will honestly piss off my fans, but absolutely,' Sabrina admitted when asked if she'd ban phones. 'Because I went to see Silk Sonic in Vegas, and they locked my phone. I've never had a better experience at a concert. I genuinely felt like I was back in the Seventies — wasn't alive. Genuinely felt like I was there. Everyone's singing, dancing, looking at each other, and laughing. It really, really just felt so beautiful.'
At the end of the day, the 'Bed Chem' artist understands why she's faced with a crowd full of phones and 'doesn't blame' her fans for wanting to preserve the moment.
'I've grown up in the age of people having iPhones at shows,' she continued. 'It unfortunately feels super normal to me. I can't blame people for wanting to have memories. But depending on how long I want to be touring, and what age I am, girl, take those phones away.'
She then playfully added, 'You cannot zoom in on my face. Right now, my skin is soft and supple. It's fine. Do not zoom in on me when I'm 80 years old up there.'

Lizzo Reacts to Performance of ‘About Damn Time' at President Trump's Military Parade
When Lizzo sang, 'Turn up the music, let's celebrate,' Donald Trump's widely protested military birthday parade was not what she had in mind. After video of a performer singing Lizzo's Billboard Hot 100-topping hit 'About Damn Time' at the event in Washington, D.C., on Saturday (June 14) surfaced online, the hitmaker made her feelings quite clear in a TikTok posted over the weekend. Stitching the clip with a few seconds of footage of the parade singer's breathless live rendition of the self-love anthem — performed in front of a gathering on the National Mall — Lizzo then cuts to a shot of herself staring pointedly at the camera, looking perplexed and disgusted. More from Billboard Tyler, the Creator, Finneas, Kehlani & More React to Los Angeles Protests Against ICE Addison Rae Announces Dates For Debut 2025 Headlining World Tour How Brandon Lake Is Leading A Whole New Flock To 'What's Real And What's True' In Christian Music 'cease & desist,' she wrote in the caption. It's unclear which performer is singing 'About Damn Time' in the video Lizzo shared, but according to USA Today, the parade stage's lineup included DJ Nyla Symone, Lee Greenwood, Scotty Hasting, Noah Hicks and Warren Zeiders. The choice to cover the Grammy-winning hit at Trump's procession was certainly an interesting one, though, as Lizzo — who endorsed Kamala Harris in the 2024 election — has made her disapproval of the twice-impeached POTUS very clear over the years. She's not the only one. While Trump was celebrating the U.S. Army's 250th birthday — as well as his own 79th birthday, which was also Saturday — through a grand show of military might in D.C., a slew of 'No Kings' gatherings broke out across the country in protest of his administration. Those overlapped with the ongoing protests in Los Angeles against the country's Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency, which recently launched raids into multiple workplaces across the city in the name of alleged immigration violations. Lizzo also posted several times about the ICE raids on Bluesky a few days prior to her TikTok about the military parade. 'The irony of an ice agent forcing a Mexican person off of their ancestral land when that agent's ancestors are European immigrants is just…,' she wrote in one post, adding in another: 'And still … there are people who voted for this who are going to sleep with a smile on their faces pleased as pie … It's a wild world y'all.'

Terry Louise Fisher, a Creator of ‘L.A. Law,' Dies at 79
Terry Louise Fisher, who channeled her experience as a Los Angeles prosecutor into an Emmy Award-winning television career as a writer and producer for 'Cagney & Lacey,' the groundbreaking female-oriented police procedural, and a creator, with Steven Bochco, of the sleek drama 'L.A. Law,' died on June 10 in Laguna Hills, Calif. She was 79. Her death was confirmed in a social media post by Mark Zev Hochberg, a family member. He did not cite a cause. Ms. Fisher was best known for her work on shows about cops and lawyers, and she certainly knew the terrain. Before turning her attention to the small screen, she worked as a deputy district attorney in Los Angeles for two and a half years. She quickly grew disillusioned with a revolving-door criminal justice system that seemed to her to boil down to a jousting match between opposing lawyers, with little regard for guilt or innocence. In a 1986 interview with The San Francisco Examiner, she recalled being handed an almost certain victory in an otherwise weak case involving a knife killing because of an oversight by the defense: 'I felt really challenged, and my adrenaline was pumping. I realized I could win this case. And I slept on it. I went, 'My God, has winning become more important than justice?'' Her unflinching view of the system informed her tenure in television. In 1983, she began writing for 'Cagney & Lacey,' bringing depth and realism to a CBS series that shook up the traditional knuckles-and-nightsticks cop-show genre by focusing on two female New York City police detectives, Christine Cagney (Sharon Gless) and Mary Beth Lacey (Tyne Daly).
