Singer Sabrina Carpenter brought her theatrical performance style to the stage for the first time at the Grammys, delighting fans with a show-stopping routine that showcased her signature blend of pop and musical theater influences.
Carpenter took the stage with a grand entrance, featuring a grand staircase, sparkly baton, and a humorous opening gag. She then proceeded to perform an eclectic mix of songs, including a show tune-style rendition of “Espresso” and a tap dance number that earned her applause from the audience.
The performance was part of Carpenter’s first-ever Grammy nomination ceremony, where she received nods for album of the year, best new artist, and several other categories. Her sixth studio album, “Short n’ Sweet”, has been a commercial success, thanks in part to hits like “Espresso” and “Please Please Please”.
In an interview with Variety last year, Carpenter revealed that she wrote her latest album from a place of vulnerability, drawing inspiration from life events. The album’s accompanying music videos have also featured big-name stars like Jenna Ortega and Barry Keoghan.
Carpenter’s performance was notable for its high energy and theatricality, showcasing her signature style and cementing her status as a rising star in the music industry.
