Sabrina Carpenter Contemplates Implementing Phone Ban During Her Concerts

Sabrina Carpenter’s recent remarks have sparked discussions among her fanbase regarding phone usage at her concerts. In an interview with Rolling Stone, Carpenter expressed that she might require attendees to secure their phones in pouches during her shows. Although she acknowledges that this idea may upset some fans, she believes it could enhance the overall experience.

Her perspective shifted after attending a Silk Sonic concert in Las Vegas, where she participated without her phone. Carpenter reflected on that experience, stating, “I’ve never had a better experience at a concert,” describing it as reminiscent of the Seventies with a sense of connection among the audience. In her cover interview, Carpenter also addressed her musical career, revealing her reasoning behind releasing a new album shortly after her previous project, as well as discussing her latest single, “Manchild,” which debuted at the top of the Billboard Hot 100.

She articulated her views on the intense scrutiny female artists face in today’s society, saying, “I’ve never lived in a time where women have been picked apart more.” Carpenter highlighted the disparity between the notion of girl power and the reality of public perception, particularly regarding women in the industry and their appearances. Additionally, Carpenter’s new album, “Man’s Best Friend,” drew attention due to its controversial cover art, which features her in a provocative pose that ignited mixed reactions online.

Some fans criticized the imagery as disturbing, claiming it was not empowering for women, while others saw it as a commentary on women’s portrayal by certain men. On the issue of online scrutiny, Carpenter stressed her discontent with external judgments, noting, “You don’t need a stranger from Arkansas to remind you” of your insecurities.
