What will fans think of this?

Sabrina Carpenter is considering a new rule for her concerts: banning phones.

Even though this is something that she is sure will "p*ss off" her fans.

Speaking to Rolling Stone magazine, the 'Espresso' singer said the reason for this contemplation is because of a recent experience that she had at a gig.

"I went to see Silk Sonic in Vegas, and they locked my phone. I’ve never had a better experience at a concert. I genuinely felt like I was back in the Seventies".

"Genuinely felt like I was there. Everyone’s singing, dancing, looking at each other, and laughing. It really, really just felt so beautiful."

The idea of requiring phones to be locked in pouches, has been used by artists like Adele, Madonna and Bob Dylan to help fans stay more present at concerts.

Sabrina has admitted that the widespread use of phones at concerts feels normal, but less than ideal.

She also told the publication: "I can’t blame people for wanting to have memories. But depending on how long I want to be touring, and what age I am, girl, take those phones away. You cannot zoom in on my face. Right now, my skin is soft and supple. It’s fine. Do not zoom in on me when I’m 80 years old up there."
