Sabrina Carpenter earned her first-ever Grammy nominations — six, actually — when the Recording Academy announced their picks for the 2025 ceremony on Friday morning (Nov. 8).

The “Please Please Please” singer took to Instagram to celebrate, sharing a series of videos of herself on her tour bus with her team finding out about the good news. A standout moment is when Carpenter found out she got a best new artist nod, despite having six studio albums and two EPs stretching back to 2014 under her belt.


“I don’t know how that’s possible. I’m the best old artist. S—, I’ve been here,” Carpenter joked in the clip.

“us on the tour bus this morning take a shot every time we scream like fr headphone warning,” she captioned the post. “this is the first year I’ve watched the live stream where i heard my name! 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 :’))”

Dua Lipa has returned to Toronto.

In 2022, the British pop star performed at Scotiabank Arena for two nights in 2022, supporting her sophomore album Future Nostalgia. While it ended in multiple injuries from unauthorized fireworks, it was a welcome upgrade from Lipa’s 2018 show at the now-defunct Echo Beach. Three years later, she’s taking the same arena stage with new material.
