Sabrina Carpenter definitely knew how to command the room at the Grammy Awards. On Sunday night, she showed up in a white outfit that looked a lot like a pilot’s uniform, featuring a corset and matching white shorts.
The whole look was tied together with a pilot hat and tall boots that laced all the way up. Fans on social media, especially on Instagram, were quick to say she looked like she was walking on a fashion runway instead of just a stage.
The twenty-six-year-old singer used this outfit for her big performance of the night, where she sang her hit song "Manchild." But she didn't just sing; she turned the entire stage at the Crypto.com Arena into a place called the "Sabrina Carpenter Airport."
There were even baggage carousels and male dancers dressed as different professionals, like doctors and astronauts, while she danced her way through the terminal. The performance ended with her sitting on top of a giant aeroplane prop as it lifted into the air.
It was a huge night for her because she was nominated for six different awards. Her new album, Man's Best Friend, was up for the big Album of the Year prize, and "Manchild" was competing for several others like Record of the Year and Song of the Year. Even though it was a tough competition against other big stars like Lady Gaga and Bad Bunny, her performance was definitely one of the most talked-about moments of the show.

Aside from her music, Sabrina has been keeping her schedule very full with other projects lately. She recently confirmed that she will be producing and starring in a brand-new movie musical for Universal Pictures.
This film is inspired by the classic story Alice in Wonderland, and it is being directed by Lorene Scafaria, who is the filmmaker behind the movie Hustlers. This will be her first time taking the lead in a major studio movie, and fans are excited to see her bring a modern musical twist to the character of Alice.
On top of her movie news, she is also getting ready for a massive performance this spring. She was announced as one of the headliners for the Coachella music festival in April. She will be sharing the top spot on the lineup with other huge names like Justin Bieber and Karol G.
This is a big step up for her, especially since she just made her Coachella debut a couple of years ago. It seems like her "manifestation" worked, as she famously joked during her last set there that she would be back as a headliner.
If that wasn't enough, she is also supposed to make a guest appearance in a special Muppet Show event that will air on Disney+ later this year. This special is being made to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the original Muppets.
Do you think Sabrina Carpenter’s airport-themed performance was the best set of the 2026 Grammys, or did another artist steal the show for you? Share your thoughts in the comments!
