Sabrina Carpenter Responds to Criticism of Her Stage Performances

The singer defends her image and performances, calling out regressive attitudes toward female artists in the music industry.

Sabrina Carpenter addressed criticism from Pete Waterman and his collaborators, who labeled her stage outfits and performances as offensive and detrimental to women's rights.
Carpenter argued that women have faced scrutiny for embracing their sexuality in music and performance for decades, citing examples like Madonna, Britney Spears, and Rihanna.
She stated that her performances reflect confidence and self-expression, and critics should avoid her shows if they are uncomfortable with her choices.
The singer described the criticism as regressive, emphasizing that it ignores other aspects of her artistry, such as themes of self-care, body positivity, and heartbreak in her work.
Carpenter, who had a highly successful 2024 with hit singles and Grammy nominations, continues to advocate for women supporting each other and rejecting outdated judgments.
