Who carelessly tried to slap the “role model” label on Sabrina Carpenter? She’s far from a role model, and she’s NEVER claimed to be one. Right now, folks in Britain are pretty pissed at the “Feather” songstress because of her racy performance at the 2025 Brit Awards.
Hundreds of complaints have flooded social media to bash Sabrina for performing in such an ultra-sexy manner. Will these complaints make Sabrina tweak her future shows to be more kid-friendly? That’s unlikely as hell. Here’s what you should know.
Sabrina Carpenter’s Sultry Performance Angered British Viewers
Some fans of Sabrina aren’t too happy about the show she put on at the 2025 Brit Awards. She wore revealing lingerie and writhed around with edgy dance moves most people would save for private time in the bedroom!
However, no one should have been shocked by how the “Please, Please, Please” crooner decided to hit the stage. Sabrina has historically always been super provocative with her shows. This is nothing new.
She performed “Espresso” and “Bed Chem” — and she dominated, in our opinion. Unfortunately, the complaints viewers are making are pretty aggressive. Frustrated tweets that have gone up include:
- “Well, this is just an awkward watch with the parents.”
- “Bit inappropriate for an awards show…”
- “I would go to a Sabrina Carpenter concert, but I’m scared it would be too sexy.”
- “Sabrina Carpenter at the Brits was a bit raunchy, bloody hell.”
- “This girl honestly just does too much. Inappropriate.”
The silver lining? According to Forces News, polls questioning the overall perception of Sabrina’s performance prove this wasn’t a career-ending move for the starlet. While 43% of responders described her show as disrespectful, 57% believed it was all good fun.
Sabrina Carpenter Playfully Clapped Back Against Brit Awards Haters
Sabrina kept it cute and sweet in response to critics of her performance. She posted a photo thread on Instagram the next day with a caption that said, “Brits, I now know what watershed is!”
Watershed is a word used to describe television blocks set into motion after 9 pm in Britain. The block is supposed to prevent risqué things from being shown on screen in the late evening.
Even though Sabrina’s performance started after 9 pm, she didn’t hold back from showcasing her frisky side in front of the crowd. Now that she knows what a watershed is, will that encourage her to alter future performances whenever she’s in Britain? Only time will tell about that!
On a brighter note, her performance was also well received by supportive fans who thoroughly enjoyed her stage presence. Her IG comment section is filled with sweet messages, including:
- “Sabrina, when are you coming out with your own lingerie line?”
- “This show was everything! Queen energy for real.”
- “This performance was so tea, the British are coming.”
- “You are really a refreshment in the pop music industry. Your shows and video clips are absolutely something we haven’t seen in years. You are an absolute queen.”
- “This is similar to a 2000s Victoria’s Secret show performance… the best.”
No one should expect Sabrina to modify her shows to be more kid-friendly anytime soon. As previously mentioned, she never agreed to be anyone’s role model –– and that’s not something she’s liable to start doing.
Before parents allow their youngsters to attend Sabrina’s concerts, look at her social media content, or watch her performances on television, they should deeply consider Sabrina’s widely known reputation.
Sabrina is a young woman who embraces her sexuality and does things on her terms. It’s up to individual parents to ensure their kids consume appropriate things within their households. That’s not Sabrina’s job.
