Sabrina Carpenter mulls over prohibiting mobile devices at live performances

Sabrina Carpenter mulls over prohibiting mobile devices at live performances
June 24, 2025

In an era where smartphones have become an essential accessory at concerts, pop sensation Sabrina Carpenter is considering a bold move - banning phones altogether at her upcoming shows. The 22-year-old singer, known for hits like "Skin" and "Sue Me," is no stranger to pushing boundaries and embracing nostalgia in her music. Could this controversial decision be a nod to a simpler time before social media and constant distractions? 

Carpenter's thoughtful contemplation on the topic comes at a time when musicians and fans alike are grappling with the effects of technology on live performances. With endless screens capturing every moment and creating a disconnect between artist and audience, the idea of returning to a phone-free experience is certainly intriguing. 

Of course, the logistics of implementing such a ban are not without their challenges. How would fans capture their favourite moments without their trusty smartphones? Would the enforcement of this rule create a more immersive and engaged atmosphere, or simply alienate concert-goers who rely on their devices for everything from selfies to ticket purchases? 

As Carpenter weighs the pros and cons of this potential ban, one thing is clear - she's unafraid to take risks and explore new ways of engaging with her audience. It's a refreshing approach in an industry that often values social media metrics over raw talent and authentic connections. 

Whether or not Sabrina Carpenter ultimately decides to go phone-free at her concerts, one thing remains certain - her dedication to pushing boundaries and creating memorable experiences for her fans is unwavering. And in an age where technology dominates every aspect of our lives, perhaps a little nostalgia for a simpler time is just what the music industry needs.
