Sabrina Carpenter has always been one to push boundaries, and her Short and Sweet Tour is proving just that.
But before she took center stage with her own electrifying performances, she was soaking in the magic of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour—an experience that completely reshaped her approach to live shows.
Learning from the Best
Before launching her own headline tour, Sabrina had the chance to open for Taylor Swift on several dates of the Eras Tour.
Watching Taylor command stadiums packed with tens of thousands of fans was a game-changer for the 25-year-old pop star.
“Her stadiums make my shows look like clubs,” Sabrina shared in an interview with Vogue.
“Watching her keep their attention as if she’s playing in their living room—it was like, and I told her this, ‘Your tour enabled me to do mine.’”
That influence is undeniable, but Sabrina’s tour is entirely her own—edgy, playful, and packed with bold performances that have fans buzzing.
A Tour Unlike Any Other
Sabrina’s Short and Sweet Tour is anything but traditional.
Known for her cheeky humor and confident stage presence, she leans into a more provocative side, fully embracing her risqué persona.
During her Juno act, for example, she engages with fans in a playful way, showing off a variety of suggestive poses before asking the crowd, “Have you ever tried this one?”
What started as a simple rotation of a few poses quickly evolved into a challenge she took on for her audience.
“I don’t want to let them down,” she admitted.
“So sometimes I go: ‘Oh, you know what? F**k it. It’s Thursday. Let me give them a new one.’”
Her fans eagerly anticipate what she’ll come up with next, and with the European leg of the tour about to begin, she joked, “Bless me for Europe. I don’t know what’s gonna happen.”
The Taylor Swift Contrast
While Sabrina’s performances lean into the playful and provocative, Taylor Swift’s concerts maintain a more family-friendly vibe—though even Taylor has introduced some flirtatious moves into her routines.
Sabrina has never hidden her admiration for Swift, calling the opportunity to open for her a dream come true.
Recalling the moment she learned about it, she humorously told Who What Wear, “I’m not gonna say I peed my pants because that sounds really graphic and maybe not sanitary, but I think it really just caught me off guard.”
From Disney Darling to Pop Powerhouse
Long before her viral hits and Grammy wins, Sabrina Carpenter was a Disney Channel star.
She rose to fame as Maya Hart on Girl Meets World (2014-2017) and even recorded the show’s theme song with co-star Rowan Blanchard.
Her music career kicked off in 2014 with the single Can’t Blame a Girl for Trying, followed by her debut album Eyes Wide Open in 2015.
Over the years, she continued to evolve as an artist, releasing Evolution (2016), Singular: Act I & II (2018-2019), and her breakout album Emails I Can’t Send (2022), which featured the viral TikTok hit Nonsense.
Her latest album, Short n’ Sweet (2024), solidified her status as a global pop sensation.
With hits like Espresso, Taste, and Please Please Please, she dominated the charts and music festivals worldwide.
A Grammy Winner and an It Girl
Sabrina’s rise reached another milestone recently when she won her first Grammy—and picked up a second on the same night.
This cemented her place as one of today’s most exciting pop stars, proving she’s far more than just a former Disney star.
With a successful tour underway and two Grammy wins under her belt, the question now is: What’s next for Sabrina Carpenter?
Whatever it is, fans can be sure it’ll be bold, playful, and completely unforgettable.
