Embracing the Phone-Free Concert Experience: Sabrina Carpenter's Take on Enhancing Live Shows
Sabrina Carpenter recently shared her thoughts on the idea of banning phones at her concerts, inspired by her phone-less experience at a Silk Sonic concert. She expressed openness to the concept of having fans lock their phones in pouches, a practice adopted by artists like Madonna and Adele. Despite anticipating potential backlash from her fans, Carpenter believes that a phone-free environment can enhance the concert experience, as she felt transported back to the '70s during the Silk Sonic show in Vegas.
Reflecting on her upbringing in the era of smartphones at concerts, Carpenter acknowledged the desire for fans to capture memories but emphasized the importance of being present in the moment. She humorously mentioned the longevity of her youthful appearance and joked about not wanting fans to zoom in on her face when she's older. In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Carpenter also shared insights about her new single "Manchild," her performance with Paul Simon for SNL's 50th anniversary, advice from ABBA's Björn Ulvaeus, Jack Antonoff's love for Electric Light Orchestra, and her personal choice to avoid marijuana.
Following the success of "Manchild," which topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart, Carpenter announced her upcoming project "Man's Best Friend," scheduled for release on August 29th. She will embark on the next leg of her "Short n' Sweet" tour this summer, offering fans the opportunity to experience her music live.
