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 :’))”

In addition to best new artist, Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet is up for album of the year and best pop vocal album, while the album’s lead single “Espresso” is nominated for record of the year and best pop solo performance, while “Please Please Please” is up for song of the year.

Kneecap Blasts Norwegian Government at Oslo Festival, Accusing It of Funding ‘Genocide’ Against Palestinians

The Irish rap trio went after the Norwegian government over its investments, which are currently under scrutiny, at Øyafestivalen.

Irish rap group Kneecap – which has drawn a storm of criticism, support, attention and legal action over the past half-year – continued to speak out about the war in Gaza during an afternoon set at the Øyafestivalen in Oslo, Norway, on Friday (Aug. 8).

Right before the trio of Mo Chara, Móglaí Bap and DJ Próvaí took the stage, an English-language white-text-on-black-background message played on a video screen, accusing the Norwegian government of “enabling” the “genocide” against the Palestinian people via investments held in the county’s sovereign wealth fund (referenced as “oil pension fund” in the message). “Over 80,000 people have been murdered by Israel in 21 months,” the band’s message continued. “Free Palestine.” The message was greeted readily by a cheering audience. Most estimates (including those from health officials in the area) place the Palestinian death toll at more than 60,000. That number does not distinguish between civilians and Hamas militants. An estimated 18,500 of those killed were children.
