Did you miss Sabrina Carpenter’s performance at the 2026 Grammys? Or simply want to rewatch due to being obsessed? Great, you’re in the right place. This year, the Man’s Best Friend singer went ahead and performed “Manchild” at the show, complete with her own retro airline. Dressed as a pilot in a cute white outfit—complete with her signature knee-high boots, of course—Carpenter welcomed everyone to SCA, aka Sabrina Carpenter Airlines.
Appropriately, the performance featured various types of men as backup dancers, including ones dressed as doctors, firefighters, and astronauts. And Carpenter was rolled around on suitcases and walked on a baggage claim conveyor belt while she sang her hit song.
As a reminder, Sabrina was nominated for Record of the Year, Album of the Year, and Best Pop Vocal Album for Man’s Best Friend—not to mention Song of the Year, Best Pop Solo Performance, and Best Music Video for “Manchild.”
She celebrated the six noms back in November with a sweet post on Instagram, which she captioned, “6 nominations :’) i am so floored and grateful. thank you @recordingacademy 🖤🖤🖤”
At the 2025 Grammys, Sabrina won her first-ever Grammy Awards, taking home golden gramophones for Best Pop Solo Performance for “Espresso” and Best Pop Vocal Album for Short n’ Sweet. The day after the show, she took to Instagram to celebrate her big wins, writing, “Cannot believe life had to post this in the moment but will talk to you later.”
Then just a day after that, the pop star released a deluxe version of Short n’ Sweet as “a thank you for giving this album 2 Grammys.”
And in case you forgot: It took five albums before Short n’ Sweet took off the way it did. “I’ve always been true to myself,” Sabrina shared with People back in 2025, “and believed in my work since I was young.”
She added, “I’ve realized that it’s always been about the small baby steps that you take over time to get you to this point.”
