Sabrina Carpenter is set perform at the 2026 Grammys, the Recording Academy has announced, 12 months after she stole the 2025 show with a Goldie Hawn-inspired production of her singles "Espresso" and "Please Please Please." The pop star is also up for six awards at this year's ceremony: Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album for Man's Best Friend; and Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Pop Solo Performance, and Best Music Video for "Manchild."

Sabrina Carpenter joined Seth Meyers' for a special holiday-themed edition of Day Drinking filmed at The Ripple Room in New York City.

In the caption for the clip, the White House quoted Carpenter's lyrics, Have you ever tried this one? Bye-bye. White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson retorted in a statement: Here's a Short n Sweet message for Sabrina Carpenter: we won't apologise for deporting dangerous criminal illegal murderers, rapists, and pedophiles from our country. Anyone who would defend these sick monsters must be stupid, or is it slow?

The White House's official TikTok is stirring controversy again. After using Wicked's "Defying Gravity" to celebrate the detention of people by ICE, it has now used Sabrina Carpenter's "Juno", which is about sex, in a bid to further promote ICE's work. Captioned, "Have you ever tried this one? Bye-bye", the 14-second clip shows people being pursued by ICE officers and handcuffed, while the lyric, "have you ever tried this one? repeats three times.

Carpenter dropped the music video for the second single from Man's Best Friend at the end of August. It featured Oscar-nominated Rustin and Sing Sing star Colman Domingo in Dr Frank-N-Furter-style drag and poked fun at men who give the absolute bare minimum in relationships, with Carpenter sensually cooing about how hot-and-bothered a lack of simple politeness and not doing household tasks, such as washing the dishes, leaves her.

The fund, which was set up as a collaboration between the "House Tour" singer and non-profit PLUS1 in 2024, raises money to support a range of causes including animal welfare and mental health. A large portion of the fund is dedicated to supporting LGBTQ+ causes, with charities Rainbow Railroad and the LGBT National Help Center having benefited from the fund. A portion of the proceeds from each ticket sold for Carpenter's ongoing Short n' Sweet Tour is added to her charitable fund.

For her live debut of "Nobody's Son" on , Sabrina Carpenter is reminding us of her namesake; she will be handling some wood planks. In a sparkly gi with a matching black belt and high heels, Carpenter answers the age-old question posed by Eras Tour dancer Jan Ravnik just a few short weeks ago:

There's a peculiar kind of dread that shows up when you realize you've made plans and then forgotten about them until the day itself. Socializing with other people is fun and healthy, but there's also something to be said for relaxing alone or with a significant other. Having promised relaxation torn away by a remembered obligation is eminently relatable, and it's something this week's SNL addressed in a sketch.

If there's one thing the Grammy winner will do, it's embrace her cheekiness. When she's not casually dropping double entendres lyrically or during her live ad-libs (e.g. her "Nonsense" outros or "Juno" cuffing skits), she's styling her clothes cheekily - sometimes literally, where her cheeks are actually out. Between her 2025 Met Gala tuxedo bodysuit and her string of no-pants looks for her Man's Best Friend visuals, Carpenter has been spotlighting her bum in teeny ensembles. This look was no different.

I travel a ton on tour, but I am really bad at taking vacation,

Sabrina Carpenter has been joined by a string of special guests during her run of 2025 festival dates, including Duran Duran at London's BST Hyde Park and Earth Wind & Fire for at Lollapalooza. That trend continued during Carpenter's weekend one headlining slot at Austin City Limits, where she invited Shania Twain to join her for a performance of That Don't Impress Me Much.

We're screaming and waving our arms all wiggly, Kermit-style. Disney is bringing back The Muppet Showin its OG variety-show format [ Kermit: Yay!]. For one stand-alone special [ Kermit: makes angry-fist face]. We're getting exactly one of something we want infinitely repeated, sometime in 2026. The Muppets made the announcement on social media, showing the new backstage set and Kermit's mug.

On Sunday (7 September) Carpenter attended the awards ceremony where she won three awards, Best Pop Artist, Best Album (for Short n' Sweet), and Best Visual Effects for "Manchild." The "Taste" singer also performed her new song, "Tears", during the show, in which she featured many RuPaul's Drag Race and queer icons. After the performance, Pascal, an ally to the LGBTQ+ community with a trans sister, Lux Pascal, took to his Instagram to celebrate Carpenter.

Lady Gaga, Ariana Grande and Sabrina Carpenter triumphed at the MTV Video Music awards, taking home two moonman trophies each in a relatively muted show that once again largely celebrated female pop artists and legacy acts. Gaga, the most nominated artist of the evening with 12 nods, took home the first award at Long Island's UBS arena, for artist of the year, winning over fellow superstars Taylor Swift, Bad Bunny and Beyonce, all of whom were not in attendance.

A big part of the singer's allure is the way that she ultimately shrugs off the crummy choices she makes while in the throes of lust, boredom, yearning, whatever; she aspires not to normie perfectionism but to something more hectic, funnier, looser, more bonkers. In the video for "Manchild," a hitchhiking Carpenter climbs in and out of a string of preposterous vehicles, including a sidecar fashioned from a shopping cart, a Jet Ski on wheels, and a motorized recliner.

On 29 August, pop's bawdiest diva Sabrina Carpenter unleashed her seventh studio album Man's Best Friend, plus a The Rocky Horror Picture Show inspired music video for new single "Tears". The hazy, five-minute disco romp features actor Colman Domingo in numerous states of drag and Carpenter in numerous states of undress, with Domingo's character loosely based on the gothic film's iconic gender bender Frank-N-Furter.

Her commonalities with Parton have much deeper (dyed) roots. "She looks like she could be my little sister," the 79-year-old icon said of the 26-year-old Carpenter to Rolling Stone in June, the magazine pointing out that each is " a five-foot-tall blonde with serious pipes." The stronger link it overlooked is that both Carpenter and Parton are virtuosi of high-femme camp, particularly playing the role of the sexpot savant, the bombshell who's really a brainiac.

Once inside, she's introduced to two-time Oscar nominee and star Colman Domingo, who is donning a cropped suit, red belt and lipstick and a finger wave wig à la Dr. Frank-N-Furter's androgynous style. The campy, five-minute clip continues with Carpenter being pushed into a hidden disco room among a rabble of queer outsiders and drag divas, before her baby blue skirt suit co-ord is stripped off her by a flurry of hands with extravagantly long red nails.
