Sabrina Carpenter Dances Through Baggage With Fun ‘Manchild’ Performance

Sabrina Carpenter helped kick off the 2026 Grammy Awards with a fun performance that had the whole crowd dancing along.

In one of the first performances of the night at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on Sunday (February 1), Carpenter sang her hit "Manchild" on a stage transformed into an airport baggage claim fit to hold all the issues that comes along with the subject of the song.

Surrounded by men of all professions and in varied style, from a doctor and astronaut to a firefighter and a magician making a dove appear out of thin air, Carpenter danced around suitcases and strutted on a conveyor belt as she performed her Grammy-nominated track.

Wearing a white corseted bodysuit and serving as "Captain Sabrina," she grabbed a speaker and led the crowd through a dance break, getting everyone from Billie Eilish to John Legend grooving and singing along. She wrapped up the exciting performance by boarding the massive airplane on stage, rising up the platform, dove in hand, as the audience cheered.

Once again hosted by comedian Trevor Noah, the 2026 Grammy Awards featured performances from artists like Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber, Tyler, The Creator, Clipse and Pharrell Williams, Alex Warren, Leon Thomas, Addison Rae, sombr, KATSEYE, Olivia Dean, The Marías and more as well as tributes to legendary musicians like Ozzy Osbourne, D'Angelo and more industry creatives lost over the past year.
