Sabrina Carpenter celebrated her six Grammy nominations on her tour bus this morning, and the moment can be seen in a video clip she posted.
Carpenter captioned a video clip he posted on Instagram: “This morning, we’re on the tour bus, take a shot every time we scream in our headphones like a warning.” She continued, “I watched a live stream for the first time this year and learned my name! I’d be lying if I said I never dreamed of this day in my life, so I’m filled with gratitude – thank you @recordingacademy :’ ))”
In the video, Carpenter celebrates his nomination in the Best Pop Solo Performance category, noting that he’s in the same category as Beyoncé and saying, “Beyoncé and Sabrina Carpenter?!” — and she jokingly calls herself “The Best Old Artist” since she’s already released six albums. “I don’t see how that is possible,” she concluded.
Carpenter was nominated in all four major categories, including Best New Artist, Album, Record, and Song of the Year, regardless of genre. If Carpenter wins all four matches, she will be the first to do so since Billie Eilish in 2020.
Outside of the Big Four, Carpenter won Best Pop Solo Performance in the pop category for her sizzling single “Espresso,” and its parent album “Short and Sweet” also won Best Pop Vocal. It won the album award. She is also the only artist to be nominated for different songs in both the Record of the Year and Song of the Year categories this year. “Espresso” and “Please Please Please” made Carpenter his first solo artist and second artist overall. They had their first two top three hits simultaneously in the top ten of the Billboard Hot 100 with no other billing artists.
Following Beyoncé’s 11 nominations, Eilish, Kendrick Lamar, Post Malone and Charli XCX are in a four-way tie for the second most nominations this year, with seven nominations each. Taylor Swift, Chapel Lawn and Carpenter are close behind with six nominations each.
Carpenter’s collaborators were nominated for Best Engineered Album (Non-Classical) for Short and Sweet, and Best Remix Recording for Mark Ronson and FNZ’s Espresso.
