Sabrina Carpenter performed “Manchild” at the 2026 Grammy Awards in front of an airport-themed set. See clips of the performance, which had both sing-along and dance-along moments, below.
Getting just about everyone in attendance on their feet, the set piece featured Carpenter playing the role of the captain and even culminated with the pop star pulling out a live (!) dove. Safe to say, the superstar took flight.
The performance came in support of her latest album Man’s Best Friend.
On the strength of Man’s Best Friend, Carpenter is nominated for six Grammys in 2026, including Album of the Year, Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Pop Vocal Album, Best Pop Solo Performance, and Best Music Video.
