Sabrina Carpenter might soon ask fans to stash their phones at her shows, following some candid thoughts she shared with Rolling Stone. Asked directly whether she’d consider requiring phone pouches at concerts, Carpenter responded without hesitation: “This will honestly piss off my fans, but absolutely.”

The idea took shape after her own experience at a Silk Sonic concert in Las Vegas, where phones were locked away. “I’ve never had a better experience at a concert,” she said. “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.”

In her latest Rolling Stone cover feature, the “Espresso” singer opened up about a range of topics—from fast-paced album releases to the pressures women face in the public eye. Carpenter recently released her new single “Manchild,” which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, and explained why she followed up her previous album “Short n’ Sweet” so quickly.

She also spoke candidly about the relentless critique aimed at female artists. “I don’t want to be pessimistic, but I truly feel like I’ve never lived in a time where women have been picked apart more, and scrutinized in every capacity,” she told the magazine. “I’m not just talking about me. I’m talking about every female artist that is making art right now …. We’re in such a weird time where you would think it’s girl power, and women supporting women, but in reality, the second you see a picture of someone wearing a dress on a carpet, you have to say everything mean about it in the first 30 seconds that you see it.”

Her newest project, “Man’s Best Friend,” has also drawn attention for its controversial cover art. Released June 11, the artwork shows Carpenter in a black dress, posed on all fours beside a man’s leg, his hand gripping her hair. The image quickly sparked online debate, with some labeling it “disturbing” and questioning its empowerment message. Others defended it as a sharp commentary on how women are perceived and portrayed.

When it comes to dealing with online feedback, Carpenter doesn’t sugarcoat it. “When you get down the little rabbit hole is truly when people start commenting on you as a person or you physically. All of those things that you’re already thinking on a day-to-day basis. You don’t need a stranger from Arkansas to remind you,” she added.
