An Emotional Reaction to Grammy Nominations
Sabrina Carpenter had an emotional moment on Friday morning as she celebrated her six Grammy nominations. The singer, known for her hit song “Espresso,” shared a heartfelt video on Instagram, capturing her reaction as she watched the Grammy nominations announcement live from her tour bus with friends. The joy and excitement were palpable as she processed this significant milestone in her career, marking a special moment for the talented artist.
Celebrating Major Achievements
In the video, excitement filled the air as Carpenter discovered she was nominated for several prestigious awards, including Best Pop Solo Performance, Best New Artist, Song of the Year, and Record of the Year. In a later clip, Carpenter was brought to tears when her sixth studio album, Short n’ Sweet, was nominated for Album of the Year, alongside Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter and Taylor Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department. She also received a nomination for Best Pop Album.
“I’m watching the live show for the first time and hearing my name!” The 25-year-old expressed in disbelief. “It would be a lie to say I haven’t dreamed of this my entire life, so I’m overwhelmed with gratitude. Thank you, @recordingacademy :’)).”
A Unique Achievement for Her Hard Work
Carpenter, along with fellow pop artist Chappell Roan, was nominated in highly competitive categories like Record of the Year, Best New Artist, Album of the Year, and Song of the Year. While Roan celebrated her first Grammy nominations, Carpenter humorously acknowledged her own Best New Artist nomination, pointing out that she’s been working in the music industry for over a decade.
Having released her debut album Eyes Wide Open in 2015, Carpenter has built an impressive discography over the years. “I’m the oldest ‘new artist’ here… I’ve been around,” she joked after the nominations were announced, highlighting her extensive experience.
Her Journey of Hard Work
Carpenter’s popularity has soared recently, especially following the success of her 2022 album Emails I Can’t Send. The album’s 2023 deluxe edition featured her first Billboard Hot 100 hit, “Feather.” This year, she achieved her first chart-topping album with Short n’ Sweet, putting her in the company of close friends Taylor Swift and Ariana Grande as the only women to have at least three songs simultaneously in the Top 5 of the Hot 100.
Over the summer, Carpenter reflected on her journey, saying that while she has released several albums and two EPs, Short n’ Sweet felt like her second album. “This is my ‘big girl’ album,” she told Variety in August. “When it comes to full creative control and really being an adult, I consider this my second album.”
Support from Loved Ones
After the Grammy nominations, Carpenter’s boyfriend, actor Barry Keoghan, praised her hard work, calling her “truly special.” In a SiriusXM interview, he expressed, “I don’t know anyone who works as hard as she does. I admire watching her craft.” This support from loved ones highlights the importance of having a strong support system as one navigates the challenges of the entertainment industry.
A Bright Future with Promising Success
Sabrina Carpenter’s emotional reaction to her Grammy nominations highlights the culmination of years of hard work and dedication. As she continues to rise in the music industry, her gratitude and passion shine through, promising an exciting future for this talented artist. The recognition from the Recording Academy signifies a new chapter in her career, filled with endless possibilities and achievements ahead.
