Please, please, please don’t let Sabrina Carpenter’s performance end.
The “Espresso” singer—who is nominated for six Grammys at this year’s ceremony, including Album of the Year, Record of the Year and Song of the Year—had the audience at Crypto.com Arena in the palm of her hand with a gut-busting act. (See the complete winners list from the 2025 Grammy Awards.)
Beginning her number dressed in a sparkled tux, Sabrina fought to find the spotlight, which kept moving at the same time as her. Once she found her light, she attempted to twirl a baton, which quickly flew away from her after she dropped it, leaving her looking slightly embarrassed.
She powered through, though, and began a jazzy version of her hit “Espresso” while descending from the top of a white staircase. But as she kept walking, she kept descending, eventually being hidden from behind the staircase.
It was at that moment the audience confirmed Sabrina was performing a vaudeville-style act and they were ready to laugh along.
After she changed into a blue, crystal-covered Victoria’s Secret bodysuit, she continued singing “Espresso” with a crew of backup dancers, though her malfunctions didn’t end. While dancing on a set built to look like a house, the lights began to flicker and the walls fell, prompting Sabrina to scream and jump into one of her dancer’s arms, who spun her and caused her to laugh.
