Sabrina Carpenter fans are jumping to her defense
Sabrina Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet tour is one of the best pop concerts I’ve been to, but it’s being tainted by the complaints of parents who fail to realise a pop concert isn’t the same as a trip to Disneyland.
If you’re bringing your kid to see Sabrina but moan about how she’s ‘too sexy’ then maybe skip the show.
Between her Brits performance and her Juno positions, the singer has been met with waves of backlash over her performances.
She’s a 25-year-old pop star who confidently embraces her sexuality, and there’s nothing wrong with that.
During her recent show in Stockholm, the singer revealed a new Juno position – motorboating.
If you’re unfamiliar with the trend, the Bed Chem singer does a different ‘Juno position’ after singing the line:
“Wanna try out some freaky positions? Have you ever tried this one?”
It’s playful, harmless, and empowering, but parents are forever losing it over the concert tradition.
Fans of the singer may love the trend but parents expressed their disgust at the latest position online.
One wrote: “How does she expect parents of the children at these shows to explain this?”
“Little kids go to your shows. [Sabrina Carpenter] You are so not a role model,” another wrote.
Many people stressed that parents shouldn’t bring their children to see Sabrina as her music isn’t aimed at kids.
“Maybe don’t bring your kids to a concert where one of the main themes is to do a sex position in the middle of a song about getting pregnant?” one said.
Another added, “If a parent is actively taking their young child to a concert that you know some of her songs have sexual lyrics in mind, then that’s on the parents.”
Carpenter herself has spoken out about the hate she gets for simply embracing her sexuality.
She previously told The Sun that the attitude towards her performances is regressive.
“My message has always been clear — if you can’t handle a girl who is confident in her own sexuality, then don’t come to my shows.”
“It’s essentially saying that female performers should not be able to embrace their sexuality in their lyrics, in the way we dress, in the way we perform.
“It is totally regressive. It’s like those who want to shame don’t make comments when I talk about self-care or body positivity or heartbreak, which are all normal things a 25-year-old goes through. They just want to talk about the sexual side of my performances.”
