Sabrina Carpenter left viewers stunned with her recent on-stage performance, with fans deeming it inappropriate.
The hitmaker is currently on her ‘Short n’ Sweet’ tour across Europe, and her next performance is scheduled for Wednesday in Berlin, Germany.
Sabrina Carpenter sparked outrage on social media after a racy on-stage show
On Monday, March 17, Sabrina Carpenter simulated an intimate act with two male dancers on stage during her Paris concert. The 25-year-old singer imitated a three-way position, referred to as the Eiffel Tower, in an homage to the iconic Paris landmark.
The position shows the singer bent over with one dancer positioned behind her and another directly in front, in a steamy video shared by a fan on X.
The Espresso singer acts out different intimate positions during her shows
The pop icon was performing her hit song, Juno, a song she has previously accompanied with various racy performances. Last year, Carpenter angered viewers at her show in Los Angeles with her microphone act.
In the intimate song, Carpenter sings about being so in love with someone that she wants them to get her pregnant.
Since kicking off her tour on June 20, the Please Please Please singer performs the song by simulating different s-x positions while singing the line, “Have you ever tried this one?”
During this part of her show, she acts out positions ranging from the reverse cowgirl and the splits to the classic missionary on stage.
Her fans lashed out at the singer’s X-rated performances, with one calling her a “degenerate”
Her fans took to social media to complain about the singer’s provocative acts, with one saying on X, “I’m sorry but there are little kids in the audience and this is taking it way too far.”
“Promoting s-x positions to a primarily underage age audience? I stan her but this isn’t ok,” another said.
“This is just… i don’t care if this a woman being confident w her sexuality to you or her just having fun… this is just gross and not necessary,” a third one chimed in.
“Degenerate! Sign of the times,” another user exclaimed.
‘This has to be joke,” one fan wrote.
One Redditor joked, “She said, ‘Disney lose my number.’”
And another fan wrote, “This gimmick is getting tired ngl.”
“Sabrina is one step away from starting an OnlyF-ns at this point,” one X user shared beneath a video of Carpenter dropping to her knees and acting out oral intimacy.
Some fans defended the star, saying that her music is “not for kids”
There were others who came to the star’s defense. One said, “Her music is not for children and if you as a parent don’t monitor what your kids are listening to that’s your fault.”
“If you bring your kids to her shows that’s on you.. have u LISTENED to her music,” another added.
“She is very honest that her music is not for kids. You as a parent are responsible for taking them to her concert,” another wrote.
Carpenter replied to critics, saying, “Don’t come to the show and that’s OK”

Carpenter defended herself after facing backlash over her sexualized costumes and concert choreography during her 2024 interview with Time.
“You’ll still get the occasional mother that has a strong opinion on how you should be dressing,” she said. “And to that, I just say, don’t come to the show and that’s OK.”
She continued: “It’s unfortunate that it’s ever been something to criticize because truthfully, the scariest thing in the world is getting up on a stage in front of that many people and having to perform as if it’s nothing. If the one thing that helps you do that is the way you feel comfortable dressing, then that’s what you’ve got to do.”
The internet was divided, with some calling her act “disgusting” while others criticized the parents who bring their kids to her shows
