Sabrina Carpenter Agrees With Phone Ban At Concerts

It turns out that Sabrina Carpenter would support a phone ban at her concerts, following in the footsteps of Jack White, Tool, Placebo, Silk Sonic, Bob Dylan, and Australia’s own Ian Moss.

In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, the Espresso hitmaker revealed that she attended a Silk Sonic concert – the project of Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak – and recalled being forced to lock up her phone. Carpenter ended up having an excellent live music experience, revealing that she wouldn’t oppose having a similar rule at her concerts.

“This will honestly piss off my fans, but absolutely,” Carpenter said after she was asked if she’d support a phone ban at her shows.

Reflecting on the experience of having her phone locked away at a Silk Sonic concert, she added, “I’ve never had a better experience at a concert.

“I genuinely felt like I was back in the Seventies — I wasn’t alive. Genuinely felt like I was there. Everyone’s singing, dancing, looking at each other, and laughing. It really, really just felt so beautiful.”

She continued, “I can’t blame people for wanting to have memories. But depending on how long I want to be touring, and what age I am, girl, take those phones away. You cannot zoom in on my face. Right now, my skin is soft and supple. It’s fine. Do not zoom in on me when I’m 80 years old up there.”

Carpenter recently made headlines after unveiling the controversial album artwork for her upcoming record, Man’s Best Friend.

The picture in question shows Carpenter in a black dress and stilettos posing on her knees as a man in a black suit grips a fistful of her hair.

The album title could be ironic or satirical, but paired with the album cover and another image Carpenter posted of a dog wearing a collar with the tag “Man’s Best Friend,” it has been deemed demeaning towards women.

Carly Simon came to the young singer’s defence and said, “She’s not doing anything outrageous. It seems tame; there have been far flashier covers than hers.”
