Pop sensation Sabrina Carpenter has her fans worried after she disclosed that she might consider banning her fans from using mobile phones while attending her concerts sometime in the future. In a recent discussion, the singer recalled a concert she went to where they took away her cell phone. She noted how it was one of the best experiences she has had in recent times, before suggesting that she could employ such conditions in her shows as well.
So, here’s everything Carpenter shared about her concert experience and why she may ban phones at her next show.
Here’s why Sabrina Carpenter is considering banning phones at her concerts
During a recent interview, the “Espresso” singer remarked that she is thinking of banning mobile phones from her concerts when she gets older, as she does not want attendees to “zoom in on me when I’m 80 years old up there.”
Sabrina Carpenter also highlighted how such an environment could elevate fans’ experience by detailing a similar incident that happened with her. “I went to see Silk Sonic in Vegas, and they locked my phone. I’ve never had a better experience at a concert,” she told Rolling Stone.
Carpenter added, “I genuinely felt like I was back in the Seventies — 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.”
The 26-year-old singer acknowledged that using phones during concerts helps in collecting invaluable memories. However, she then reiterated that the prospect of fans recording her face when she’s old is enough of a motivation for her to ban mobile phones from her shows altogether.
“I’ve grown up in the age of people having iPhones at shows. It unfortunately feels super normal to me. 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,” Carpenter explained.
While such a proposition might be concerning for fans of the two-time Grammy winner, her statements suggest that it won’t happen for a long time. In the meantime, Sabrina Carpenter’s admirers can prepare for her next studio album, Man’s Best Friend, which comes out in August later this year.
