Sabrina Carpenter BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Sabrina Carpenter has had quite the eventful few days as November transitions into December. Most significantly, the pop superstar wrapped up her massively successful Short N' Sweet tour last week with six sold-out shows at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. The emotional finale saw Carpenter getting tearful during performances, particularly while singing "Espresso," as she reflected on closing this major chapter of her career. She shared her feelings on Instagram, expressing gratitude to the crowds and noting she'd gone through six boxes of tissues during the final shows.

Looking ahead, Carpenter is scheduled to appear as the lead guest on Late Night with Seth Meyers on December 8th, marking her return to late-night television following her tour conclusion. Additionally, she's performing a stripped-down acoustic show called Stripped at The Cutting Room in New York on December 5th, giving fans an intimate concert experience.

On the recognition front, Carpenter is riding high with major Grammy nominations heading into next year, with nominations for Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Album of the Year for her album Short N' Sweet, all for the track "Manchild."

However, there's been a significant controversy brewing. The White House's social media account used Carpenter's hit song "Juno" in a video montage showcasing Department of Homeland Security arrests, set to the lyric "Have you ever tried this one?" The video drew immediate criticism for what many perceived as making light of deportations. This follows a similar incident where Olivia Rodrigo's song was used for DHS content, prompting Rodrigo to publicly call out the administration. As of now, Carpenter has not publicly responded to the White House's use of her song, though her representatives were reportedly reached out for comment.

On a lighter note, there's also an all-Sabrina Carpenter drag and burlesque show scheduled for December 14th in Brooklyn, celebrating her music and cultural impact.

Her official website also references new music, with mentions of the album Man's Best Friend, though details remain somewhat unclear. Through it all, Carpenter continues to dominate conversations both in entertainment and broader cultural discourse, solidifying her status as one of pop's biggest current stars.
