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.

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 :’))”
