The “Espresso” singer will be making stops in 29 cities across North America — including New York City, Los Angeles, Boston, Dallas, Denver, and more, bringing along supporting acts Amaarae, Griff, and Declan McKenna on select dates.
For her opening night show, Sabrina showed off her very on-brand Jetsons-vibe, boudoir, Barbie 'Dream House' stage setup for the very first time along with a dazzling array of outfits, and an impressive mix of songs from her last two albums -- Short n’ Sweet and 2022’s emails i can’t send.
Beginning the 21-song setlist with her current single “Taste,” Sabrina served up the entirety of her latest album, weaving in hits from her previous one, including “Feather,” “because I liked a boy,” “Nonsense,” and more.
Speaking of “Nonsense,” we’re sad to say that Sabrina opted to retire the horny outros we’ve come to know and love as the usual follow-up to — “Woke up this morning, thought I’d write a pop hit/How quickly can you take your clothes off pop quiz?”
Much to the Columbus crowd's dismay, the city-incorporating innuendo to conclude the song never arrived. Instead, the pint-sized popstar started descending beneath the stage while faking a microphone mishap with a look of faux confusion. All while a graphic that read, “We apologize for the interruption of our program due to technical difficulties,” appeared on the giant screen on stage.
Ahead of the “Nonsense” surprise, and before concluding the show with “Espresso.” Sabrina performed a surprise song, which looked as though would be decided by fate each night through a game of 'Spin the Bottle.' That’s correct, Carpenter’s concert includes a segment where she plays 'Spin the Bottle' to decide which of four surprise songs she will perform a cover of. On the tour's debut night, the bottle landed on ABBA's "Mamma Mia." Check out a clip of the performance below.
Can’t wait to see what other surprise songs her upcoming shows bring. Sabrina’s next tour stop takes place Tonight, September 25, in Toronto, ON. Check out the full Short n’ Sweet Tour setlist below.
