Sabrina Carpenter’s latest concert performance has everyone talking – and not just about her music. The singer, once known as the bubbly Disney star on Girl Meets World, is now at the centre of a debate after a provocative act on stage during her Los Angeles show. While some fans are cheering her bold transformation, others are questioning whether she’s taken things too far, especially considering her younger followers. On Monday night, Sabrina closed her Short n’ Sweet tour with a performance that no one will soon forget. At one point during the concert, she knelt on stage, gripping the microphone in a way that mimicked the act of oral s*x.
As if that wasn’t enough to spark gasps from the audience, she leaned into the mic and playfully mimicked performing the s*xual act before asking, “Have you ever tried this one?!” The moment, captured on video, quickly made its rounds on social media, igniting heated discussions.

While Sabrina is no stranger to playful and provocative stage antics, this particular moment struck a nerve for many. One fan commented on Instagram, “She’s trying to fit in way too much.” Another wrote, “This looks so inappropriate,” reflecting the discomfort some felt about the suggestive performance.
On the other side of the debate, loyal fans defended her, emphasising her right to express herself as an adult artist. One fan wrote, “She doesn’t wanna be a role model for young girls. She wants to be herself. Leave her be.” Another argued that her provocative style has been clear for years, saying, “As far as kids being in the crowd… this was a parent fail. What else do you expect? Should have listened to the lyrics prior.”

Despite the support, others continued to urge Sabrina to be more mindful of her audience, pointing to her Disney Channel past and her influence on younger fans. “This is disgusting. Why do 12-year-old girls at a concert need to see this,” commented an X (formerly Twitter) user.
Sabrina Carpenter first became a household name as a teenager on Girl Meets World, where she won over audiences with her charm and talent. At 15, she released her debut single, followed by her album Eyes Wide Open. Over the years, she has worked to shed her Disney image, embracing a more mature and edgy musical style.
