Feathered Fiasco: Sabrina Carpenter'S Grammys Mishap Sparks Peta Outrage

Grammy Night Surprises: A Bird's Eye View

The Grammy Awards lit up Sunday night with a blaze of talent that spotlighted musical giants like Bad Bunny, who soared into history by clinching Album of the Year with a Spanish-language masterpiece. However, it wasn't just the music that had tongues wagging; Sabrina Carpenter's unique performance made waves for some unexpected reasons.

Sabrina hit the stage with a special guest – a live dove named Tina. As fans admired the "Espresso" singer's captivating display, they couldn't help but notice a minor mishap. In a moment that quickly went viral on TikTok, Carpenter confessed to her crew, "it s**t on my hand," adding a dose of humor to the incident.

PETA's Response Spurs Debate

Whenever a celebrity brings animals into the limelight, the ethics spotlight shines brightly, and PETA wasted no time expressing their disapproval. They criticized Carpenter's choice, calling it "stupid, slow, useless … and cruel," citing the distress such an environment could cause to a bird accustomed to the open skies.

“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 that belongs flying free in the open sky.”

The comments section lit up with mixed opinions. Some argued the drama was overblown, pointing out Tina's professional training and brief stage time. As one commenter put it, "The internet is soooo dramatic, the bird probably already forgot about it by now, and y'all r still holding onto it."

Backlash and Bird Poop: A PR Storm

As news of the dove's unexpected contribution spread, conversations exploded across platforms like X and Reddit, with many questioning the decision to involve a live animal. In response to the backlash, Tina's owner jumped into the fray stating, "We prepared for this for months. Tina is perfectly fine." They assured fans that Sabrina was professional and respectful throughout the entire process.

In a bittersweet twist, despite the supposed "good luck" of a bird pooping on her hand, Sabrina Carpenter went home without any Grammy awards. Her six nominations, including Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album, were a testament to her talents, even if the night ended without a trophy.

Even if Tina didn't bring Sabrina the Grammy glory, she did score an invite to Sabrina's birthday bash – a testament to the bond formed during their feathered adventure.
