Sabrina Carpenter is now officially a Grammy-winning artist! The talented singer took home the award for Best Pop Vocal Album at the 67th Grammy Awards on Sunday night (Monday morning).
She won for her hit album Short and Sweet, which dominated the summer of 2024. In the category, she was up against major stars like Billie Eilish, Ariana Grande, and even Taylor Swift. Sabrina previously opened for Taylor on the Eras Tour, performing alongside her in Latin America, Asia, and Australia.
When her name was announced as the winner, cameras captured Taylor Swift cheering enthusiastically in support of Sabrina.
The 2025 Grammy Awards are celebrating some of the biggest names in music. Leading the nominations this year is Beyoncé, recognized for her critically acclaimed album Cowboy Carter.
The ceremony kicked off at 8 p.m. Eastern/5 p.m. Pacific and is available to stream on CBS and Paramount+. Known for its bold and eccentric fashion, the Grammys continue to be one of the most visually striking nights in entertainment.
This year’s lineup includes performances by Shakira, Billie Eilish, Chappell Roan, Doechii, Sabrina Carpenter, and Charli XCX. Meanwhile, Will Smith, Stevie Wonder, and Janelle Monáe are set to present a tribute to the late, legendary producer Quincy Jones. Comedian Trevor Noah is returning as host for the fifth consecutive year.
No Accepting Awards on Behalf of Others
Premiere Ceremony host Justin Tranter made it clear—if the winner isn’t present, the Grammy won’t be accepted on their behalf. This rule is intended to keep the pre-show running smoothly, given the packed schedule of award presentations.
The Grammy Premiere Ceremony began with an emotional group performance of Simon & Garfunkel’s Bridge Over Troubled Water, set against images of the devastating Los Angeles-area wildfires.
Nominees Angélique Kidjo, Wayne Brady, Scott Hoying, Deborah Cox, and Taj Mahal started the song in a solemn tone, accompanied by visuals of flames and firefighters. As the performance continued, it transitioned into a gospel-style tribute, setting a different mood than the usually upbeat Premiere Ceremony.
With a night dedicated to both celebration and remembrance, this year’s Grammys aims to honor music’s biggest stars while also shining a light on those in need.
