Key Points
Carpenter wins Grammy for Short n' Sweet album
Energetic performance of 'Espresso' and 'Please Please Please'
Theatrical stage act with dance and costume changes
Competed against top artists like Taylor Swift
"I'm still out of breath from the performance," Carpenter said to start her speech. She went on to thank her family and producers, keeping her acceptance speech 'short and sweet'.
The singer was nominated in the category alongside major artists such as Billie Eilish, Ariana Grande, and Taylor Swift. Carpenter previously served as the opening act for Swift's Eras Tour, performing alongside her in Latin America, Asia, and Australia.
Before winning the award, Carpenter delivered an energetic and theatrical performance of her hit songs 'Espresso' and 'Please Please Please'. Her stage act featured dance sequences and multiple outfit changes.
At the start of her set, Carpenter appeared on a grand white staircase, dressed in a black-and-white suit while holding a sparkly baton. She humorously dropped the baton and fumbled her lyrics in a playful gag before removing her suit to reveal a stunning blue bejewelled corset. She then went into a tap dance routine while continuing her performance.
