Sabrina Carpenter cried tears of joy after being nominated for six Grammy Awards Friday morning.
The “Espresso” hitmaker shared a video via Instagram Friday of her watching the live 2025 Grammy Awards nomination announcement from her tour bus with some pals.
Everyone squealed with excitement after it was revealed that Carpenter had been nominated for best pop solo performance, best new artist, song of the year and record of the year.
In a second video, she broke down in tears after her sixth studio album, “Short n’ Sweet,” was nominated for album of the year alongside Beyoncé’s “Cowboy Carter” and Taylor Swift’s “The Tortured Poets Department.” She is also nominated for best pop vocal album.
“this is the first year I’ve watched the live stream where i heard my name!” Carpenter, 25, captioned the carousel.
“I’d be lying if i said i hadn’t dreamt about this day my whole life so i am filled with gratitude- Thank you @recordingacademy :’)).”
Carpenter and her fellow pop sensation Chappell Roan are the only artists nominated in the super competitive record of the year, best new artist, album of the year and song of the year categories.
While the “Please, Please, Please” singer is thrilled to be nominated for her first Grammy trophies, she poked fun at her best new artist nom since she’s been in the music industry for a decade.
Carpenter released her debut album, “Eyes Wide Open,” in 2015 and has released numerous other albums since.
“I’m the best old artist … I’ve been here,” she joked after the nod was announced.
Carpenter’s fame skyrocketed, however, in the last few years with the 2022 release of her album, “Emails I Can’t Send.”
The deluxe version of the record dropped in 2023 and included her first Billboard Hot 100 hit, “Feather.”
This year, she achieved her first No. 1 album with “Short n’ Sweet” and joined her close pal, Swift, and Ariana Grande as the only women to chart at least three songs in the Top 5 of the Hot 100 simultaneously.
Over the summer, Carpenter said that despite the several albums and two EPs she previously released, “Short n’ Sweet” feels like her sophomore album.
“It’s my second ‘big girl’ album,” she told Variety in August. “When it comes to having full creative control and being a full-fledged adult, I would consider this a sophomore album.”
Following her nominations, Carpenter’s actor boyfriend, Barry Keoghan, called her “absolutely brilliant.”
He said on SiriusXM Friday, “I don’t know anyone who works as hard. I’m in awe of watching her work.”
