And the Grammy Award for best pop vocal album goes to… Sabrina Carpenter !
Carpenter accepted the coveted prize for her album Short n’ Sweet in Los Angeles on Sunday, Feb. 2 at the 67th annual Grammys.
Immediately after her name was called, some of the singer’s friends jumped up, clapping joyfully, including Taylor Swift and Jack Antonoff.
Once she got on stage, Carpenter, overcome with emotion, said, “I’m still out of breath from the performance, so I really was not expecting this.”
“And all those nominees that were just on the screen are some of my favorite artists in the world, and I can’t believe I’m nominated against them, or even in this room right now. This is whoa — my first Grammy, so I’m gonna cry,” said Carpenter. (She actually previously took home a Grammy prior to the show for best pop solo performance.)
After thanking the Recording Academy, she thanked her collaborators, friends, and family.
“You have no idea how much I love you and how much this album means to me,” she said before ending her speech with “Thank you, holy s—, bye.”

This year’s category was comprised of all female artists: Short n’ Sweet by Carpenter, Hit Me Hard and Soft by Billie Eilish, Eternal Sunshine by Ariana Grande, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess by Chappell Roan and The Tortured Poets Department by Taylor Swift.
Carpenter released her album Short n’ Sweet in August 2024.
This year, she received six Grammy nominations, including record of the year and best pop solo performance nods for “Espresso.”
