Sabrina Carpenter has left social media users stunned after simulating an x-rated act while performing on stage.
The ‘Espresso’ singer, 25, has found herself trending on social media platforms like TikTok after fan-filmed videos from one of her recent concerts sparked a flurry of divided comments.
Per TMZ, the viral moment took place on Monday evening when Carpenter performed at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles.
The chart-topping pop star was performing her new single, ‘Juno’ – inspired by the 2007 movie of the same name.
Featuring the lyrics, “I know you want my touch for life/If you love me right, then who knows? I might let you make me Juno”, the song uses the movie title as a metaphor for pregnancy – and the singer’s strong infatuation with somebody she’s fallen for.
During recent performances, Carpenter has been treating crowds to a sexy pose while performing the track – usually when she sings the lyrics: “Wanna try out some freaky positions? Have you ever tried this one?”
But her most recent pose quickly blew up social media – as Carpenter got down on her knees, pulled her hair back, and used her microphone to simulate oral s*x.
Talk about putting on a show, right?
Well, when videos hit X (formerly Twitter), people had A LOT to say.
“Keep it classy,” one person sarcastically wrote. One X user added: “Everything’s so sexual for no reason nowadays”.
“Great example for her young fans,” another wrote.
Another critic tweeted: “This girl always overcompensates for lack of artistic substance by being vulgar and trashy.”
However, the moment has clearly gone down well with Carpenter’s fans, with supporters labeling her “iconic”, “unhinged”, and “awesome”.
Of course, this certainly isn’t the first time the singer has trended on social media.
Earlier this year, the Carpenter celebrated her 25th birthday with a cake with a hilarious Leonardo DiCaprio meme.
The meme, featuring a selfie of DiCaprio with a caption reading, “Nooo don’t turn 25 your so sexy aha,” humorously references the actor’s past relationships with much younger partners.
She really is iconic! Anyways, I’m off to book tickets for her next show…

Mariah Carey’s new waxwork figure is so lifelike people are genuinely struggling to tell who is real
By stefan armitage
Mariah Carey’s new waxwork figure has made headlines for a different reason than the norm… because it actually looks like her.
In fact, the figure looks so much like the chart-topping diva, that some fans are genuinely having to do a double-take to try and tell who is the real Mariah.
As the undisputed queen of Christmas, Mariah Carey has once again signaled the start of the festive season, but this time, with a twist that left fans doing a double-take.
The pop icon unveiled her new wax figure at Madame Tussauds in New York.
Decked out in a dazzling red gown inspired by none other than Marilyn Monroe, the wax Mariah stands ready to take over the holiday season.
What makes this figure extraordinary is not just the stunning craftsmanship but also the personal touch from Mariah herself, who donated her actual jewelry to the cause (only the best — even for a fake Mariah).
Adorned with a ruby necklace, matching earrings, and rings, the wax figure glimmers with a touch of Mariah’s own sparkle.
Capturing the essence of the holiday spirit, Mariah shared her excitement on Instagram, jokingly captioning the post: “Finally found someone to help me out with the toy delivery this year! Thank you Madame Tussauds New York @madametussaudsusa.”
The post, accompanied by visuals of the figure, has fans buzzing with amazement and a sprinkle of confusion due to its realism.
“This is the best wax figure I’ve ever seen,” wrote one fan, with a second adding: “The wax one looks more than her than she does.”
“I couldn’t tell which one was which,” wrote a confused third, with a fourth fan adding: “I was wrong about the real Mariah at first.”
“Amazing couldn’t tell which was which except I noticed hand on the right was over red dress,” wrote a fifth Instagram user.
And the piece even confused the singer’s own kids!
During a visit with her 13-year-old twins, Moroccan and Monroe, the siblings were astounded by the wax figure’s resemblance to their mom. Moroccan exclaimed: “Wow! It’s like I’m looking at you through a mirror.”
The setting of the figure also mirrors Mariah’s festive fervor. “The whole room is a complete transformation into Christmastime and it feels like the perfect home for it,” Mariah described.
As we enter the Holiday season, it really is that time of year when Mariah shines brightest (and she’s set to once again make an absolute fortune from her 1994 hit, ‘All I Want for Christmas is You’).

People are stunned by how tall Trump’s son Barron is compared to 2016 presidential election
By Michelle H
Donald Trump is the winner of the 2024 U.S. presidential election.
But during his speech to an enthusiastic crowd of Republicans, much of the attention was on his son, Barron Trump, with many people surprised by just how tall he has become.
Four years after losing the White House to then-incumbent Joe Biden, Trump appears poised to return to Washington, D.C., following wins in several swing states in the 2024 race.
Leading up to Election Day, neither Trump nor Harris had a lead in the polls, making this one of the closest elections in recent history.
As results started coming in, it quickly became evident that Trump’s share of the vote was significantly higher than predicted, although he has yet to officially reach the required number of electoral college votes.
Speaking to a large crowd of supporters in Florida before the official result had been declared, Trump was accompanied on stage by his extended family.
This included his wife, Melania, and all of his children. Of the five, his youngest—18-year-old Barron—quite literally stood out as Trump announced his victory.
Standing at six foot seven, Barron’s height sparked comments on social media, with some wondering if he was the same young boy who stood with his parents in 2016 when Trump defeated Hillary Clinton.
One Twitter (formerly X) user joked: “Barron Trump may very well be just three normal height humans stacked on top of one another.”
Another wrote: “My goodness. Barron Trump is twice his height as eight years ago,” while a third asked, “Where the hell did Barron Trump get them damn height genes?”
Trump has spoken about Barron’s 6’7″ stature during his campaign.
At the Iowa caucuses in January, he mentioned Barron’s height while honoring his mother-in-law, Amalija Knavs, who had passed away earlier that month.
Trump said, per Metro: “Boy, did she take care of Barron.” He added: “That’s how he got so tall. He only ate her food. I said you’re gonna be a basketball player. He said, well ‘I like soccer dad’, actually.
“I thought… at your height, I like basketball better but you can’t talk them in to everything.” Trump said Amalija and her husband were “great parents to all of us… but also to Barron.”

80s Classic has been crowned the most popular wedding song, per new study
By stefan armitage
The ultimate wedding song has apparently been revealed thanks to a new study.
Now, a lot goes in to making a couple’s wedding day truly perfect.
Meticulous planning is taken over the outfits that are worn, the food that is served, and the heartfelt words that are shared.
However, I truly believe that the most crucial element to any wedding is the music. I can forgive a nervous best man speech or even average food – but if the DJ is playing dud after dud and I can’t boogie on the dance floor, then I won’t be signing your guest book.
And now, it seems that the most popular song to hear at a wedding has been revealed – and it’s an 80s belter!
According to a lively study by Breezit – the online guru for finding wedding vendors – the ultimate wedding jam is none other than Whitney Houston’s electrifying hit ‘I Wanna Dance With Somebody’. This 1987 chart-topper not only rocked the airwaves back in the day – and earned Houston a Grammy – but it’s still making wedding guests dance the night away.
Per the New York Post, the track makes an appearance in a whopping 484 out of 2,000 wedding-themed Spotify playlists.
Imagine this: across 49,091 songs analyzed, this pop ballad – from Houston’s iconic second studio album Whitney – made it to the top, featured on more than 24% of all wedding playlists, from “Wedding dancefloor” bangers to “First dance songs” serenades.
Not far behind, the timeless groove of ABBA’s ‘Dancing Queen’ sashays in with the silver medal. This disco gem from the 1976 album Arrival not only found its place in the Grammy Hall of Fame but also in the hearts of newlyweds, appearing 394 times and setting the rhythm for just over 19% of matrimonial playlists.
Sliding smoothly into third, we have Usher’s bouncing beats with ‘Yeah!’ from his 2004 album Confessions. Featuring the dynamic duo of Lil Jon and Ludacris, this track not only topped the Billboard Hot 100 for 12 consecutive weeks but also became a staple at weddings, found in over 19% of playlists scanned.
Arturas Asakavicius, the co-founder and CEO of Breezit, shares the sentiment: “Music plays an incredibly important role in wedding celebrations, and it’s fascinating to see which songs are still hailed as wedding classics, even years after their initial release.”
Asakavicius adds: “Wedding playlists can help create lasting memories, capturing both the joy of the dance floor and the romance of walking down the aisle. Certain songs have become intertwined with the celebration of a wedding, which is why some have become timeless classics for many couples’ big day.”
So there you have it, whether you’re swooning under the disco ball or swaying arm-in-arm for that first dance, these tunes are sure to make your special day unforgettable.

Adele breaks down in tears during live performance after spotting famous face in the audience
By stefan armitage
Adele was seen breaking down in tears during her recent show in Las Vegas, after she spotted a famous face in the crowd.
In a night filled with soulful melodies and the glitz of Las Vegas, a truly beautiful moment in music unfolded at the Colosseum Theatre at Caesars Palace.
While performing her hit single ‘When We Were Young’, Adele was walking through the audience when she was pointed in the direction of music legend Celine Dion.
Adele, 36, quickly rushed over to the star as she broke down in tears, beckoning her for a hug over the barrier.
Dion, 56, gladly obliged, as she also was brought to tears over Adele’s respect and admiration for the Canadian songstress.
The moment caused the venue – which was originally built for Dion’s debut residency in 2003 – to erupt with cheers and applause. Check out the moment below:
Nasser, a concert-goer who captured this viral moment, told BBC News that they saw it as a symbolic passing of the torch: “This truly felt like she was proudly handing the keys to Adele. And when Adele gave her that hug, everyone felt what they felt.”
Social media users also loved seeing the interaction, with one X user tweeting: “This is just so pure and emotional to watch… Adele and Celine are such a moment.”
A second added: “Adele has often expressed her admiration for Celine Dion, and having such an iconic singer attend her Vegas residency must have been incredibly meaningful for her.”
And one TikTok user commented: “Iconic moment captured. Celine Dion back in the Colosseum that was built for her, after battling her rare disease, sharing such a beautiful moment with the lovely Adele.”
Their mutual admiration goes beyond just public appearances. Adele once revealed owning a framed piece of Dion’s chewing gum – a gift she received from friend James Corden after the ‘My Heart Will Go On’ star appeared on Carpool Karaoke.
Sadly, this touching moment comes after Adele announced that she will be taking an extended break from music after her Las Vegas residency concludes in November.
The British powerhouse expressed a desire to step back from her grueling schedule and focus on personal fulfillment: “I have spent the last seven years building a new life for myself and I want to live it now,” she explained. “I want to live my life that I’ve been building and I will miss you terribly.”
This break marks the end of what Adele describes as the “longest” stretch of performances in her career.
On the other side, Dion recently returned to the stage at the Paris Olympics, marking her first performance since being diagnosed with Stiff Person’s Syndrome (SPS) in 2022.
The rare neurological disorder had forced her to cancel her world tour and focus on her health. Despite these challenges, Dion’s appearance was nothing short of stunning, and led to a global outpouring of support and praise for the star.

Billie Eilish fans outraged after concertgoer’s ‘disgusting’ heckle during live show
By stefan armitage
Billie Eilish fans have slammed a concertgoers for shouting out an obscene request to the singer during a recent live show.
Eilish – the pop sensation known for her electrifying performances and chart-topping hits like ‘Bad Liar’ – recently encountered an unsettling episode during one of her concerts in New York City.
The 22-year-old singer is currently on her “Hit Me Hard and Soft” tour — as she delights audiences across the United States, with her next stop scheduled for Atlanta, Georgia.
However, during a series of three sold-out shows at the iconic Madison Square Garden, Eilish – accompanied by thousands of fans and the sibling duo Nat and Alex Wolff as her opening act – experienced an unexpected disruption when a male fan’s attempt to capture the singer’s attention took a disrespectful turn.
As the lights dimmed and Eilish prepared to deliver some harmonies, a momentary quiet fell over the crowd.
That’s when camera captured the fan’s crude comment, as it cut through the silence, drawing immediate shock and disapproval from the audience.
“Billie give me a b***job,” the fan yelled – immediately drawing gasps from the live crowd.
“Oh my god,” a woman behind the camera can be heard saying.
The incident, captured on video by a concertgoer’s mother, swiftly circulated on TikTok, as it was accompanied with the caption: “To the person who yelled that at my show, I hope both sides of your pillow are hot.”
And the comments section was not kind to the heckler. “That’s disgusting,” one TikTok user wrote.
“Bro has no respect,” another added.
After being shared by user @averyluvseilish, the video has amassed more than 2.6 million on TikTok.

The incident comes after Eilish once again took the stage on Saturday Night Live, on October 19.
The 22-year-old artist made her her fourth appearance on the iconic show alongside her brother and frequent collaborator, Finneas O’Connell.
Hosting the evening was none other than Michael Keaton, who introduced Eilish as she enchanted the audience with two new songs.
The tracks, ‘Birds of a Feather’ and ‘Wildflower’, are from the star’s latest album Hit Me Hard and Soft.
