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.'
