PETA Criticizes Sabrina Carpenter For Using Live Dove In Grammys Performance

PETA condemned Sabrina Carpenter after the singer used a live white dove during her Grammys 2026 performance Sunday night in Los Angeles. The 26-year-old performer concluded her “Manchild” set by holding the bird while elevated on a silver airplane prop at Crypto.com Arena. “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,” PETA posted on social media. The animal rights organization warned that “bright lights, loud noise, and handling cause fear and distress for a bird who belongs flying free in the open sky.” Carpenter hasn’t responded.
