Music artists and performers always wish their fans to have the best experience while attending concerts. From handing out bracelets and glow-in-the-dark bands to power-packed performances, the singers ensure the audience witnesses a night they will never forget. For the same reason, Sabrina Carpenter is reportedly considering banning phones at her concerts. Although aware that her decision might not sit well with her fans, Carpenter is willing to take a chance.
Sabrina Carpenter wants fans to put phones away during concerts
Sabrina Carpenter’s concerts are known for their bold yet exhilarating performances. In order to create the best experience for her fans at her shows, the Grammy winner is open to the idea of banning phones at her concerts.
While talking about her wish, the singer shared her experience of watching “Silk Sonic in Vegas.” The artist told Rolling Stone that they “locked” her phone during the gig, but she has no complaints as she “never had a better experience at a concert.” Due to this move, Carpenter felt like being “back in the Seventies,” where “Everyone’s singing, dancing, looking at each other and laughing. It really, really just felt so beautiful.”
That is why the 26-year-old singer is now thinking of banning phones at her concert too, despite knowing the fans might not be happy with her decision. “This will honestly p–s off my fans, but absolutely,” Carpenter told the outlet.
The artist also admitted that she has “grown up in the age of people having iPhones at shows.” This is why Carpenter believes it “unfortunately feels super normal” to have phones at the concert. She simply “can’t blame people for wanting to have memories.”
However, the “Manchild” singer did insist that it’s not right to focus on her face all the time. “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,” adding, “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.” If Carpenter implements this rule, she won’t be the first singer to do so. Pop icons like Bob Dylan, Madonna, and Adele have prohibited phones during their gigs in the past.
