THE RUNDOWN
- Sabrina Carpenter isn’t at the 2026 Emmys.
- She won her first Emmy on September 5.
- Carpenter is halfway to EGOT status, recognized for her work on The Muppet Show.
Sabrina Carpenter recently won her first-ever Emmy for her role as both an executive producer and performer on The Muppet Show, which snagged the award for Outstanding Variety Special (Pre-Recorded). This significant achievement was celebrated during the Creative Arts Emmys on September 5, leading to Carpenter not attending the televised ceremony where the remaining awards were announced.
Before the Emmys, Carpenter was spotted in Malibu just a couple of days prior and remained active on social media, honoring the late designer Bob Mackie with a heartfelt tribute.
Carpenter has never attended the Primetime Emmys, with her last appearance being at the Creative Arts Emmys in 2015. With a busy September ahead, she’s also anticipated to compete for seven awards at the upcoming MTV VMAs.
Reflecting on her career, Carpenter journalistically contrasts her onstage persona and everyday self, explaining her performance style as a balance between professionalism and playful creativity.
