Sabrina Carpenter Will Ban Phones At Her Concerts? Here's What We Know
Last Updated: The Manchild hitmaker pointed out that phones being held up at concerts "feels super normal" to her generation. Sabrina Carpenter is considering banning phones at her concerts. The 26-year-old pop star has been inspired by a recent Silk Sonic gig in Las Vegas, where fans' devices were locked away, and she loved the 'beautiful" atmosphere it created. Asked if she's considering similar moves to Silk Sonic, Adele and Madonna, she told Rolling Stone magazine: 'This will honestly p*** off my fans, but absolutely. She said: '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 '70s — 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." The Manchild hitmaker pointed out that phones being held up at concerts 'feels super normal" to her generation. She added: 'I've grown up in the age of people having iPhones at shows. 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. 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." Sabrina also opened up about her pre-show ritual, which isn't actually a world away from her Short n' Sweet Tour video showing her in a bubble bath before she appears on stage in a towel. She said: 'Do you want to picture something really silly? It's me in full glam and stage curls, and I don't put my head in. So it's just from the neck up, I'm like onstage Sabrina, and then from neck down, I'm nude." She also loves plunging outdoors or in spas in each of the cities she visits, and while she doesn't take her crew, she's always joined by her friend Paloma Sandoval and sister Sarah. Paloma admitted: 'I would say I'm addicted to the cold plunge because of her. 'We all have our go-to ice bath song that we listen to, and we know what time it ends. You need to put on your ice-bath song if you're going to be about that life. First Published:

Sabrina Carpenter might 'piss off' fans with new phone policy at her concerts
Sabrina Carpenter is considering banning phones at her concerts, despite the fact that the rule may 'piss off' her dedicated fans. The 25-year-old pop star, who's currently enjoying a chart-topping moment with her hit Manchild, told Rolling Stone in a new interview that she was 'absolutely' considering introducing phone-free gigs, even if the decision isn't immediately popular with fans. She revealed that the idea first struck her after she attended a Silk Sonic show in Las Vegas. 'This will honestly piss off my fans,' she admitted to the publication. 'I went to see Silk Sonic in Vegas, and they locked my phone. I've never had a better experience at a concert.' She described the Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak–led concert as feeling 'like I was back in the '70s,' a time when fans were fully immersed in live music instead of watching it through a screen. 'Genuinely felt like I was there. Everyone's singing, dancing, looking at each other, and laughing. It really, really just felt so beautiful,' she added to the outlet. The star said that because she has grown up in the age of iPhones at shows, it feels 'super normal' to her to constantly be starring at the artist through her camera lens. Although she hasn't enforced any formal ban yet, Sabrina revealed the concept has been on her mind as she imagines her future self performing for decades to come. 'Depending on how long I want to be touring, and what age I am, girl, take those phones away,' she joked. '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.' For now, the Espresso singer is still letting fans film and snap pics of her on stage - but it seems that after her experience - she's gently urging them to stay more present. Sabrina joins a growing wave of artists - including Adele, Madonna, and Bob Dylan - who have spoken out about the distractions caused by phones during performances. Despite the success of her new single - ahead of her album Man's Best Friend dropping August 29 - the Feather singer is in hot water over her raunchy album cover, which features her provocatively kneeling beside a suited man with a fistful of her hair. She recently clapped back at the backlash on X. When one user asked, 'Does she have a personality outside of sex?' the 26-year-old pop star replied on Monday: 'Girl yes and it is goooooood.' Sabrina has also received criticism for the simulated sex positions she demonstrated onstage while performing her song Juno during her Short n' Sweet Tour. 'It's always so funny to me when people complain,' Sabrina told Rolling Stone. 'They're like, "All she does is sing about this." But those are the songs that you've made popular. Clearly, you love sex. You're obsessed with it. It's in my show.' The two-time Grammy winner continued: 'There's so many more moments than the Juno positions, but those are the ones you post every night and comment on. 'I can't control that. 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.'

Sabrina Carpenter risks angering fans as she teases divisive change to her shows
Singing superstar Sabrina Carpenter has recently released her new single Manchild which is sitting at number one in the music charts, but fans may not be able to film her performing it at her next show American pop star Sabrina Carpenter has said that she is planning to anger her fans with an divisive move. The singer has said that she is considering banning phones from her future concerts after going to a no-phones gig herself. However, the singer has said that she thinks the move would "honestly p*** off" her fans but this wouldn't stop her. The star said she first came up with the idea when she went to a Silk Sonic gig where they did the same thing. Sabrina admitted that she felt like she had been taken back in time but that it improved her experience. She said it feels "super normal" for her to have phones at events but thinks it is a good idea to ban them. In an interview with Rolling Stone, Sabrina said: "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 '70s - 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. I've grown up in the age of people having iPhones at shows. "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. "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." Phones being banned at concerts have become increasingly comment over the last few years which means that fans can't record videos of the event. Several well-known acts have implemented the ban themselves including Ghost and Jack White. Music legend Bob Dylan also had a phone ban for his UK tour last year. Sabrina recently came under fire after revealing the album artwork for her new project Man's Best Friend. She shared the album cover on June 12, posting two images, one of a dog wearing a collar which reads Man's Best Friend and the second shows the pop star on her hands and knees as a figure standing over her is seen pulling her hair. One fan shared their views about the cover, saying: "I'm excited to hear the music! Just not so keen on the cover. Seeing this alongside the Sydney Sweeney stuff and Bonnie Blue's petting zoo, I just really have to question what on earth is going on at the moment." As a second said: "I feel like the undertone of violence in this cover is so triggering." While another asked: "Does she have a personality outside of sex?", as the ex-Disney star wrote: "girl yes and it is goooooood."
