People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals didn’t hold back in its criticism of Sabrina Carpenter’s appearance at the Grammys on Sunday night.
At one point during her performance of the song “Manchild,” the 26-year-old pop star entered an airplane prop during her aviation-themed act and held a white dove.
“Did [Sabrina Carpenter] really just bring a bird on stage in 2026?! The Manchild singer is giving childlike behavior. Leave animals out of the #GRAMMYs,” the organization wrote alongside an image of the singer holding the bird during her set.
Above the image of Carpenter, PETA appeared to reference her “Manchild” lyrics with the comment: “HEY SABRINA, BRINGING A LIVE BIRD ONTO THE GRAMMYS STAGE IS STUPID, SLOW, USELESS … AND CRUEL! Bright lights, loud noise, and handling cause fear and distress for a bird who belongs flying free in the open sky.”
PETA and reps for Carpenter didn’t immediately respond to celebrity.land’s requests for comment.
PETA has also criticized other celebrities in the past. Late last year, PETA called out Kim Kardashian for giving each of her and Kanye West’s young children — North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm — their own Pomeranian puppies for Christmas. The animal rights organization blasted the reality TV star’s older sister Khloé Kardashian, for buying a black Labrador puppy for her kids, True and Tatum, for the holiday.
“Puppies are not plushies, and it’s a damn shame that Kim missed the chance to be a spokesperson for shelter pups and instead is being rightly slammed on social media for that,” PETA’s founder Ingrid Newkirk said in a statement.
Newkirk called their gifts “inexcusably callous” and suggested that they “call PETA or a local shelter the next time they want to bring an animal into their home.”
