In the Grammys “Good Graces.”
Sabrina Carpenter put on a playful and theatrical performance at the 67th annual Grammy Awards, hosted by Trevor Noah, on Sunday.
The pop star, 25, swapped her custom powder-blue JW Anderson gown for two showgirl-inspired costumes. She took the stage in a sparkly black suit before switching into an embellished leotard.
Carpenter wore her hair in voluminous Hollywood curls and opted for her signature doll-like makeup look.

Carpenter’s album “Short n’ Sweet” was nominated in six categories — record of the year, album of the year, song of the year, best pop solo performance, best pop vocal album and best new artist.
Her sixth studio album dominated the charts after its August 2024 release, with all 12 tracks charting on the Billboard Hot 100 after debuting No. 1.
Despite the album’s success, Carpenter was still shocked after being included in music’s biggest night.

The pop princess got her big break in 2014 when she signed her first record deal and landed a role on Disney.
She released her first album, “Eyes Wide Open,” one year later, followed by several more EPs and albums.
However, Carpenter recently told Variety that her career didn’t really start until she signed with Island Records in 2021.

“For the people who love those early records and listen to them, I love you for that,” she told the outlet. “But I personally feel a sense of separation from them, largely due to the shift in who I am as a person and as an artist, pre-pandemic and post-pandemic.”
Given that sense of separation, Carpenter said she viewed “Short n’ Sweet” her “second ‘big girl’ album.”
“When it comes to having full creative control and being a full-fledged adult, I would consider this a sophomore album,” she said.
In that case, there was no sophomore slump here.
