Sabrina Carpenter, who started acting at an early age, later transitioned into a hyped musician. She got her recognition from Disney channel series “Girl meets World” (2014-2017) in which she played the character of Maya Hart.
As a part of her music career, Sabrina has released multiple albums and songs including Eyes Wide Open and Skin, Nonsense and Thumbs.
Popularly known as Disney girl, Sabrina is now putting efforts to transition from the fame of child star. To be recognized as an adult artist and redefine her public image, Sabrina has opted edgy themes in her music and performances. This has gathered a lot of controversies on the provocative elements of her performance and music videos as she develops into a mature artist.
Recently, Sabrina is facing a lot of backlash on her controversial performance, during her Short n’ Sweet tour in Los Angeles, showcasing her evolving musical style and sexually suggestive stage acts. Featuring songs from her recent albums Emails I can’t Send, where Sabrina has acclaimed praise for its production, at the same time, her bold moves in the performances has sparked controversy.
Known for pushing her boundaries, fans believe Sabrina has gone too far this time with her imitation of intimate gestures with a male dancer behind the curtains. Social media is flooded with uproars about her provocative choreography arguing the appropriateness of her stage presence, especially with her attached recognition as a Disney channel star.
Not only this, during her performance of “Juno”, Sabrina simulated an intimate act with her microphone which is being described as mimicking oral s*x. She knelt on stage and did the provocative move that has made the audience furious.
Comments on social media highlighted disappointment and anger. One of the users commented, “This is disgusting. She knows her fans include teens. Fame ruins artists.” Another one said, “She started off innocent and now it’s just more and more sexual.”
While some others supported the nominee for six Grammy awards commenting:
“She’s grown and allowed to perform how she wants. Her Disney days are over.”
Sabrina hasn’t, yet, issued a public statement addressing the recent controversies of her Short n Sweet Tour. However, in her previous responses, Sabrina has mentioned people having problems with her performance should simply not attend her concerts. She added the names of Madonna and Beyoncé as her inspirations and her focus on her artistic growth and confidence.
