Sabrina Carpenter was caught in a bathroom fire after the singer posted the aftermath on Instagram Stories. The 26-year-old shared a photo of a charred sink and scorched countertop, with a single red candle nearby.
The image arrived amid her year-end photo dump and sparked quick fan concern. The bathroom blaze appeared contained, yet the damage looked serious. Nevertheless, she kept the reveal brief while moving on to other snapshots from 2025.

As per the Daily Mail report dated January 1, 2026, Carpenter captioned her Story with a simple admission. The pop star wrote, “set my bathroom on fire by accident.” She added a heart emoji and no further context. The image showed heavy burn marks across a beige vanity. Therefore, fans inferred a candle mishap rather than an electrical issue. However, Carpenter did not elaborate or mention injuries. The singer has not posted repairs or an update since the upload.
The “Espresso” hitmaker has been closing out a milestone run. In early December, she wrapped the 14-month Short n’ Sweet tour in Los Angeles. Then she dropped a bonus edition of “Man’s Best Friend” with new tracks. Moreover, the project earned her six Grammy nominations for February 2026.
Carpenter also paired the Story with reflective notes from recent posts. On TikTok, she looked back at show easter eggs and stumbles. She wrote, “saying goodbye to the heart pit where i pretended to be shocked by the surprise song.” She added that the onstage fireplace was where “I never knew if the shot would be water or tequila.”
Later, she posted a longer tour farewell on Instagram. She told fans, “This show really was everything I’ve dreamt of making since i was young.” She continued, “You guys sold out every single show…I truly think I’ll look back on this tour when I’m old and gray.” For now, the Sabrina Carpenter bathroom fire situation sits as a brief mishap in a landmark season.
