Sabrina Carpenter just launched her Short n Sweet Tour, and it was anything but short or sweet! The 25-year-old superstar blew the roof off Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio, on Monday night (September 23), leaving fans breathless, confused, and definitely wondering if they could legally adopt her.
Kicking things off with her latest smash hit “Taste,” Sabrina strutted on stage like she owned the joint (spoiler: she did). She proceeded to deliver a sonic buffet so good, even your grandma would’ve dropped her knitting needles and said, “Okay, but who IS she?”
Of course, every concert needs a strong finale, and Ms. Carpenter didn’t disappoint. She wrapped up the show with “Espresso,” a song so energizing that even the people in the nosebleeds got a caffeine buzz just from hearing it. Rumor has it that the crowd left the arena faster than a Starbucks after a pumpkin spice launch.
But let’s not skip over the most unexpected and downright hilarious moment of the night: Sabrina, in all her chaotic glory, decided to play spin-the-bottle with her dancers. No, it wasn’t for a middle school crush confession. The bottle decided which surprise cover song she’d serenade the audience with. For this magical first night, the lucky spin landed on ABBA’s “Mamma Mia,” which Sabrina belted out with such enthusiasm, even Meryl Streep would’ve given her a slow clap. Expect a different song each night, so who knows? Next time, she might drop a rendition of “Baby Shark” that’ll bring you to tears.
And yes, my impatient ticket-less friends, you can still snag your golden entry to this sonic circus. Grab those last-minute tickets via Ticketmaster, or, if you’re feeling lucky (or slightly desperate), hit up the resale jungle that is StubHub. Either way, you’re in for a night of sugar-rush hits, surprise covers, and maybe—just maybe—some more spin-the-bottle shenanigans.
Keep scrolling for the set list, but let’s be real, Sabrina’s unpredictable. She might swap out a song and replace it with a live reading of her grocery list. Honestly, we’d still listen.
