Sabrina Carpenter Weighs Phone Ban at Concerts

Pop star Sabrina Carpenter is considering banning mobile phones at her future concerts, inspired by her positive experience at a phone-free Silk Sonic show in Las Vegas, which she described as her best concert experience due to the audience's full engagement. While she acknowledges that smartphone use is normal and fans want to capture memories, Carpenter believes phone bans could enhance the concert atmosphere. She humorously suggested she may prefer such a policy as she gets older, joking about not wanting to be filmed up close at age 80. Other artists, including Madonna, Adele, Jack White, and Ghost, have implemented similar bans to improve audience engagement. Carpenter also discussed her pre-show rituals and creative collaborations ahead of her upcoming album, Man’s Best Friend. For now, fans can still use their phones at her concerts, but she remains open to adopting a phone-free policy in the future.
