And theGrammy Awardfor best pop vocal album goes to…Sabrina Carpenter!

Carpenter accepted the coveted prize for her albumShort n' Sweetin Los Angeles on Sunday, Feb. 2 at the 67th annual Grammys.

Immediately after her name was called, some of the singer’s friends jumped up, clapping joyfully, includingTaylor SwiftandJack Antonoff.

Once she got on stage, Carpenter, overcome with emotion, said, “I’m still out of breath from the performance, so I really was not expecting this.”

“And all those nominees that were just on the screen are some of my favorite artists in the world, and I can’t believe I’m nominated against them, or even in this room right now. This is whoa — my first Grammy, so I’m gonna cry,” said Carpenter. (She actually previously took home a Grammy prior to the show for best pop solo performance.)

After thanking the Recording Academy, she thanked her collaborators, friends, and family.
