Sabrina Carpenter took the stage tonight at the 2026 Grammy Awards to sing \u201cManchild.\u201d<\/em> Sporting an all-white, loosely pilot-inspired ensemble, she performed the Man\u2019s Best Friend<\/em> single on a set that looked like a retro airport terminal, flanked by dancers dressed up as other passengers and air traffic controllers. Watch the number below.<\/p>\n

Carpenter was nominated for six Grammy Awards this year but wound up being shut out. Her 2025 album Man\u2019s Best Friend<\/em> vied for Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album and \u201cManchild\u201d was up for Song of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance. Earlier in the evening, Carpenter had lost Best Music Video to Doechii\u2019s \u201cAnxiety\u201d clip.<\/p>\n

Last year, Carpenter celebrated two Grammy wins. She took home Best Solo Performance with her hit single \u201cEspresso\u201d and Best Pop Vocal Album for Short n\u2019 Sweet<\/em>.<\/p>\n
