In the Grammys “Good Graces.”

Sabrina Carpenter put on a playfulPlease Please.”

Carpenter’s album “Short n’ Sweet” was nominated in six categories — record of the year, album of the year, song of the year, best pop solo performance, best pop vocal album and best new artist.

Her sixth studio album dominated the charts after its August 2024 release, with all 12 tracks charting on the Billboard Hot 100 after debuting No. 1.

Despite the album’s success, Carpenter was still shocked after being included in music’s biggest night.

In November 2024, Carpenter shared a video her watching the live nomination ceremony from her tour bus.

The hitmaker burst into tears of joy after her name was called out in numerous categories.

“this is the first year I’ve watched the live stream where i heard my name!” she captioned the carousel of clips.

“I’d be lying if i said i hadn’t dreamt about this day my whole life so i am filled with gratitude- Thank you @recordingacademy :’)).”

While this is the first time Carpenter has been acknowledged by the academy, she has been in the industry for over a decade.

The pop princess got her big break in 2014 when she signed her first record deal and landed a role on Disney.

She released her first album, “Eyes Wide Open,” one year later, followed by several more EPs and albums.

However, Carpenter recently told Variety that her career didn’t really start until she signed with Island Records in 2021.

“For the people who love those early records and listen to them, I love you for that,” she told the outlet. “But I personally feel a sense of separation from them, largely due to the shift in who I am as a person and as an artist, pre-pandemic and post-pandemic.” 

Given that sense of separation, Carpenter said she viewed “Short n’ Sweet” her “second ‘big girl’ album.”

“When it comes to having full creative control and being a full-fledged adult, I would consider this a sophomore album,” she said.

In that case, there was no sophomore slump here.
