'They locked my phone,' she said. '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,' she added. 'It really, really just felt so beautiful.'

But Carpenter's fanbase might not need to worry just yet. The 'Manchild' singer suggested that she would not start enforcing the no-phone rule for quite some time.
'Depending on how long I want to be touring, and what age I am, girl, take those phones away,' she said. 'You cannot zoom in on my face.'

'Bad idea for people who have responsibilities, like what if something urgent happened?' one person wrote on X, formerly Twitter. 'Oh, sorry, my phone was locked. I was in a concert.'

'I think people should be able to do that whatever they want. Their life, their experience,' another person commented. 'They pay money to go to concerts. They should be able to film it if they want.'
'Charge less for tickets, fees and parking, then you can have a small hill to stand on in terms of taking away the memories people take with vids and phones,' added a third.
However, others welcomed the idea and agreed that a no-phone rule could heighten the audience's concert experience.

'All phones should be banned at concerts,' one fan tweeted. 'Everyone should live in the moment and trust their memory.'

'She gets it!' added another. 'It's about living in the moment and enjoying the experience fully.'
'I love this idea [because] I went to one of her concerts and could barely see her because of everyone's phones,' a third critic wrote on X. 'No one was even dancing or enjoying [because] they were just filming and screaming.'

Carpenter's remarks came shortly after she announced her upcoming album, 'Man's Best Friend,' and the controversial cover art that shows the Disney Channel alum in a black dress and down on her hands and knees while a person off-camera pulls her hair.
'I don't want to be pessimistic, but I truly feel like I've never lived in a time where women have been picked apart more, and scrutinized in every capacity,' the 'Bed Chem' singer told the outlet. 'I'm not just talking about me. I'm talking about every female artist that is making art right now.'
'We're in such a weird time where you would think it's girl power, and women supporting women, but in reality, the second you see a picture of someone wearing a dress on a carpet, you have to say everything mean about it in the first 30 seconds that you see it,' Carpenter added.

Bruce Springsteen reveals why he stayed away from ‘Deliver Me From Nowhere' set during ‘deeply personal' scenes
Bruce Springsteen is reliving his glory days on set. But the singer, 75, got candid on which scenes he stayed away from in Jeremy Allen White's portrayal in the upcoming biopic, 'Deliver Me From Nowhere.' 'If there was a scene coming up that was sometimes really deeply personal, I wanted the actors to feel completely free, and I didn't want to get in the way, and so I would just stay at home,' Springsteen revealed in an interview with Rolling Stone published Thursday. 6 Jeremy Allen White plays Bruce Springsteen in 'Deliver Me From Nowhere.' 20th Century Studios The icon added, 'If Scott Cooper, the director, wanted or needed me there for something, I would try to make it. But I was on tour in Canada for the whole first month or so of the filming, and so I was really out on the road quite a bit and working at that time.' Springsteen went on to praise White, 34, for being 'very, very tolerant of me the days that I would appear on the set,' while also noting the project includes 'some of the most painful days of my life.' While on set, the musician told 'The Bear' star, 'Look, anytime I'm in the way, just give me the look and I'm on my way home. The days that I got out there, he was wonderfully tolerant with me being there. And it was just fun. It was enjoyable.' 6 Jeremy Allen White plays the rocker circa 1982. 20th Century Studios The biopic follows Springsteen's upbringing in Freehold, N.J., and the making of his 1982 album 'Nebraska.' The movie hits theaters Oct. 24 and includes Jeremy Strong as Springsteen's producer and manager, Jon Landau, Stephen Graham as the rocker's father, Douglas, Paul Walter Hauser as Mike Batlan, who created a set-up for Springsteen to record his music in his bedroom, and Marc Maron as Chuck Plotkin, the producer who mastered the songs on the album. When the outlet asked the Grammy winner if he would consider performing 'Nebraska' in order to promote the film, Springsteen wasn't fully on board. 6 White has called the Boss 'just the greatest guy.' 20th Century Studios 'I doubt I'll do it,' he confessed, 'but I could possibly go out and play that record straight through one day. I think that would be fun to do, and the fans would get a kick out of it. That's not off the table.' In October, the Boss appeared on the British chat show 'The Graham Norton Show' where he gushed over the film's 'lovely cast' and told Norton, 62, he's 'involved a little in the project.' 'This is not easy to do because you can't do an imitation, you have to do a personal interpretation,' Springsteen explained about White stepping into his footsteps. 'It's difficult, but he is a great actor and sings pretty good.' 6 Bruce Springsteen and wife Patti Scialfa circa 1991 in New York City. Getty Images During an August interview with GQ, the 'Shameless' alum gushed over the musician being 'really supportive of the film' 'I've had some access to him, and he's just the greatest guy,' he shared. The trailer dropped on Wednesday, and starts with Springsteen looking to buy a new car before the salesman recognizes him. 6 Springsteen praised White as a 'great actor.' Kamala Harris/ YouTube Springsteen replied, 'Well that makes one of us.' Then, the young singer is recording a song in his room, telling the engineer: 'It don't need to be perfect. I want it to feel like I'm in the room by myself.' The clip also shows Landau going to bat for his artist in a room full of music label execs. 'This isn't about either one of us. This isn't about the charts. This is about Bruce Springsteen,' he said. 'And these are the songs that he wants to work on right now.' 6 Bruce Springsteen speaks in concert. AP 'Bruce is a repairman and what he is doing with this album is he's repairing that hole in his floor,' a voiceover noted in the trailer. 'He's repairing that hole in himself. And once he's done that, he's going to repair the entire world.' 'I'm trying to find something in all them worries,' Springsteen added.

Carly Simon Defends Sabrina Carpenter Against Album Cover Backlash: 'She's Not Doing Anything Outrageous'
Carly Simon is defending Sabrina Carpenter amid the backlash against her album artwork for Man's Best Friend In an interview with Rolling Stone, the "You're So Vain" hitmaker said the LP cover seemed "tame" Man's Best Friend is due Aug. 29Carly Simon is standing by Sabrina Carpenter. In an interview with Rolling Stone published on Wednesday, June 18, the "You're So Vain" hitmaker came to the pop star's defense amid the backlash surrounding the cover for her forthcoming album Man's Best Friend. The album artwork features a photo of Carpenter, 26, on her hands and knees as someone who appears to be a man grabs her by the hair. In the image, she's donning a short, black dress and black heels. Simon herself released a similarly controversial cover with her 1975 album Playing Possum, which featured the "You Belong to Me" artist on her knees wearing black lingerie and black leather boots. "Everybody looked at it, and people definitely had a reaction to it,' Simon, 81, told the publication of the controversial album cover. 'But they wouldn't have told me what they really thought.' When the album was shipped to stores, she was met with bolder reactions. 'Suddenly, I'm getting calls from Time and Newsweek, saying, 'This is one of the sexiest covers that has ever known,'' Norman Seeff, the photographer who shot the cover for Playing Possum, told Rolling Stone. He continued: 'There's this whole controversy around what did it represent? It felt very much like that energy in a woman, but I just thought of it as a beautiful shot. None of that stuff they were talking about was the intention." Simon also addressed the criticism Carpenter has faced for her Man's Best Friend album artwork, which she didn't understand. "She's not doing anything outrageous,' she told the outlet. 'It seems tame." Added Simon: "There have been far flashier covers than hers. One of the most startling covers I've ever seen was [The Rolling Stones'] Sticky Fingers. That was out there in terms of sexual attitude. So I don't know why she's getting such flak." Carpenter announced the release of her seventh studio album and its cover art on Wednesday, June 11. The news came after she shared the album's lead single "Manchild" earlier this month. In the days after she shared the album cover, Carpenter responded to an X user who reshared the singer's Man's Best Friend album cover, saying, 'Does she have a personality outside of sex?' The 'Espresso" hitmaker then reshared the post and said: 'girl yes and it is goooooood.' Man's Best Friend follows Carpenter's chart-topping LP Short n' Sweet, which was released last August.
