JAKARTA - Sabrina Carpenter is the latest name to speak up about seeing that many people who come to the concert are more busy recording with their cellphones than enjoying shows.

The 26-year-old soloist even admitted that he had even considered implementing a ban on bringing cellphones at his concert, even though he realized he would make his fans angry.

Meanwhile, the idea came after Carpenter went to the Silk Sonic concert, where cell phones were banned, which he said made the experience of watching concerts more enjoyable.

I went to watch Silk Sonic in Vegas, and they locked my phone. I never had a better experience at the concert," said Carpenter in a recent interview with Rolling Stone.

"I really feel like going back to the 70s I didn't live. Really felt like I was there. Everyone sang, danced, looked at each other, and laughed. It really felt so beautiful," he continued.

The 'Espresso' singer is well aware that she grew up in an era where people brought cell phones to concerts. That's something normal. She also can't blame the audience for wanting to capture memories.

"However, it depends on how long I want to tour, and how old I am, girl, just get rid of those phones. You can't enlarge my face. Right now, my skin is soft and chewy. It's okay. Don't enlarge me when I'm 80 years old up there," he added.

The ban on carrying mobile phones at music concerts has been widely implemented, where organizers use pockets that usually cannot be opened until the end of the show.

Jack White has been one of the supporters of the mobile ban since 2018, claiming that it allows the experience of watching concerts to be 100 percent humane.

In addition, the Swedish rock band Ghost also imposed a mobile-free' rule for their world tour this year.
