Sabrina Carpenter hit with backlash after performing NSFW stage act during European tour

The singer has been switching up her 'Juno position' on tour

Sabrina Carpenter has rustled feathers again for performing a NSFW 'sex act' on her European tour.

In case you've been living under a rock, the 25-year-old 'Espresso' hitmaker has been making waves all across the world on her Short n' Sweet tour - because of a raunchy dance move.

Sabrina has created a sort of tradition while performing her song, 'Juno', which over the course of the tour has seen her simulate sex positions before breaking out into the chorus, after saying: "Wanna try out some freaky positions? Have you ever tried this one?"

The star got on her knees to create an oral sex scene while performing in Los Angeles last November, bent over backwards (literally) to replicate the London bridge while performing in the UK capital, and bent down again between two of her dancers to recreate the Eiffel Tower while taking to the stage in Paris, France.

Critics have slammed the moves as inappropriate for a young audience and 'crass'.

Now, the risqué routine as captured by @vojtasrep on TikTok saw Sabrina kneel down and indicate 'motorboating' somebody while performing the track in Stockholm, Sweden... which many are taking as a 'victory' for the LGBTQ+ community.

But an outraged mob have taken to Twitter once again to declare their disgust over the latest Juno 'debut' move.

"How does she expect parents of the children at these shows to explain this?" wrote one.

Another said they thought she was 'the cringiest human being person ever' while a third said she is a 'blatant' industry plant 'to destroy youth even more.'

"When will she have *enough* attention?" another angry critic said. "And can we just give it all to her in one big lump sum now so she can just like stop? She’s not provocative enough to actually BE provocative she’s just like a tipsy teenage girl at a party trying to get attention."

However, dozens of fans have jumped to her defence, writing that the move is 'something for the gays finally' and that her shows aren't child-appropriate at the best of times.

"I saw more t*ts at a Kiss concert when I was eight years old," another said. "Her music isn't for kids anyway. More f bombs than Pulp Fiction and most of her songs are about sex."

"She is a grown woman making music for grown people. End of story," agreed another.

Others said they loved to see how much fun the singer has been having on her tour.

"Wow why is there actually so many miserable losers in the comments?" a third fan wrote, "Like straight up hateful, miserable people angry at this girl who's been working since childhood having some fun and laughs onstage? Crazy to see I hope she gets even more successful to p**s off more people tbh."

A fourth added on TikTok: "SOMETHING FOR THE LESBIANS YAYYY."

The 'Please Please Please' singer is making her way back to London in July to finish off the last leg of her European tour before making her way to her hometown, Pennsylvania, and then on to Madison Square Garden in New York, Tennessee, Canada, and California, so we may have even more 'Juno' positions yet...
