Sabrina Carpenter Takes Fans Behind the Scenes of the 2026 Grammys in New Photo Drop

Sabrina Carpenter’s trio of looks at the 68th Grammy Awards are still turning our heads even three days later. The 26-year-old singer-songwriter—who notched a duo of awards for “Best Pop Vocal Album” and “Best Pop Solo Performance” one year ago—made her second appearance at the annual award show on Sunday, Feb. 3, and donned a slew of ethereal ensembles.
On the red carpet at Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena, Carpenter—with six nominations—repped a custom Valentino ruffled maxi dress from Alessandro Michele. She showcased another creation from the designer inside the venue with a sparkling silver set from Valentino Haute Couture.
The artist sported an all-white outfit on stage to perform her 2025 single “Manchild,” which was nominated for “Best Music Video”, “Best Pop Solo Performance,” “Song Of The Year” and “Record Of The Year,” designed by Ludovic de Saint Sernin and drew inspiration from retro flight attendant uniforms.
Yesterday, Feb. 3, Carpenter took to Instagram to exhibit all three award show looks to her 49.8 million followers. In the 11-slide carousel—featuring famous friends like Chappell Roan and Olivia Dean—the pop star shared some candid snaps on location as Cher’s “Sing For You Supper” played in its background.
In the post’s caption, Carpenter also gushed over her sophomore stint at the award show. She tagged the official Instagram page of the Grammys and included a duo of white hearts before penning, “felt so honored to be there for my second time and be nominated and perform!!” The artist continued, “Thank you to the Recording Academy for having me, thank you to my fans for being the greatest of all time, and thank you to Cher.”
And while Carpetner left the show empty-handed, commenters disagreed with the award show’s final rulings in her comment section. In addition to her four nominations for “Manchild,” she also notched two more for her Aug. 2025 album, Man’s Best Friend—one in the “Best Pop Vocal Album" and another in the “Album of the Year” category.
“You won every single Grammy in my heart 😭🩷,” one user declared.
Another commenter agreed and wrote, “Grammy winner in my house.”
As for her upcoming endeavors, the artist will be hitting the road in March to perform at Lollapalooza Chile 2026 on the 13th and Lollapalooza Argentina 2026 on the 15th before making stops in Paraguay (March 18), Brazil (March 20) and Colombia (March 22). The following month, she’ll perform a pair of shows in the desert as a headliner for Coachella on April 10 and 17.
