Sabrina Carpenter Celebrates Her 2025 GRAMMYs Wins With A Performance of “Espresso” & “Please Please Please”

Sabrina Carpenter Celebrates Her 2025 GRAMMYs Wins

Like her GRAMMY-nominated album, Sabrina Carpenter may be Short n’ Sweet, but the pint-sized – and newly GRAMMY-winning – pop star went big for her GRAMMYs debut. In one of the first performances at the 2025 GRAMMYs, Carpenter delivered a glamorous live performance of her smash hits “Espresso” and “Please Please Please.”

Carpenter began with a comedic jazzy rendition of “Espresso” before changing from a sparkling, tuxedo-inspired dress into the sugary original itself while showing off her tap skills in the process. From there, the Best New Artist nominee suavely transitioned into “Please Please Please” and its country twang before returning to “Espresso” just as quickly for her finale.

The dazzling, drenched-in-blue display was something of a victory lap for the summer-dominating “Espresso,” for which Carpenter won Best Pop Solo Performance earlier at the Premiere Ceremony. Shortly after her performance, Short n’ Sweet won the GRAMMY Award for Best Pop Vocal Album.

Carpenter is a first-time nominee at the 2025 GRAMMYs with a whopping six nods. In addition to Best Pop Solo Performance, “Espresso” is up for Record Of The Year. A more impressive stat: Carpenter’s shortlisting in all of the big four categories (Artist Of The Year, Song Of The Year, Record Of The Year, and Best New Artist) is a feat only 13 artists have accomplished before this year.

The competition (which includes Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, and Chappell Roan) is staggering, but Carpenter has more than earned her place among them. Released in April 2024, “Espresso,” earned Carpenter her first Top 10 single on the Billboard Hot 100, while “Please Please Please” topped the Billboard Hot 100.

The accolades kept stacking with the August release of another single, “Taste,” which debuted on the Hot 100 at No. 2. According to Billboard, “As the tracks mark Carpenter’s first three top five Hot 100 hits, she [became] only the second act — and first soloist — ever to chart her first three top five hits in the region simultaneously,” something last achieved by the Beatles in 1964. So while Short n’ Sweet may have been Carpenter’s sixth album and a decade into her musical career, its success established her as a pop force.

The singer’s rapid ascent happened just as much off-stage, too, having started the year guesting on multiple dates of Swift’s epic Eras tour. In April, she made her Coachella debut, and following the album’s release, she embarked on her first arena tour and produced and starred in a Netflix holiday special, A Nonsense Christmas with Sabrina Carpenter. Next month, the tour heads overseas to Europe.
