    Sabrina Carpenter beat "some of [her] favourite artists in the world" to scoop the Best Pop Vocal Album award at the Grammys on Sunday (02.02.25)

    The 'Espresso' hitmaker's 'Short and Sweet' beat off competition from Ariana Grande's 'Eternal Sunshine', Taylor Swift's 'The Tortured Poets Department', Chappell Roan's 'The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess' and Billie Eilish's 'Hit Me Hard and Soft' to take the accolade and she was stunned to have won


    Taking to the stage at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, she said: "Hello. I'm still out of breath from the performance so I really was not expecting this.

    "All those nominees on the screen are some of my favourite artists in the world. This is my first Grammy, so, woo, I'm gonna cry. I wrote names so I wouldn't forget on this napkin.

    "Thank you to the Recording Academy for having me and everyone here tonight, and in celebration and in honour of everything that's happened, it's lucky to be able to come together and do something so special and beautiful and celebrate music.

    "I wanna thank my fans who let my music be heard by the Recording Academy. I want to thank my mom for driving me to every voice lesson, and I Want to thank my dad and my sisters. I want to thank my team, Ireland Records.

    "What the hell. Thank you, this is so special to me and 'Short and Sweet' means the world.

    "Thank you to all the producers and writers who made this album... I love you guys, you have no idea how mc I love you and how much this album means to me."

    Sabrina - who is up for six awards this year - had earlier dazzled the event with a fun theatrical performance.

    As the curtain lifted, the 25-year-old star was perched on a white staircase and then jokingly dropped per sparkly baton before she began a show tune-style rendition of 'Espresso' before making fake mistakes and repeatedly restarting the lyrics.

    She then changed out of her black and white suit into a sparking corset, tap danced and began singing 'Please Please Please'.
