Taylor Swift praises Sabrina Carpenter after her surprise appearance
Taylor Swift recently expressed admiration for Sabrina Carpenter following her surprise appearance at Swift’s Eras Tour concert in New Orleans.
Sharing her appreciation on Instagram, Swift described Carpenter as “the pop princess of our dreams” and praised her dedication for performing on her one day off from her own physically demanding Short n’ Sweet Tour. Swift emphasized Carpenter’s authenticity, noting, “She’s as real as they come, and I’m so thankful she did that for us.”
Carpenter’s return to the Eras Tour stage thrilled fans, bringing back memories of her role as Swift’s tour opener from August 2023 to March 2024. This experience helped Carpenter gain significant recognition, paving the way for the success of her hit song “Espresso,” which further established her presence in the music industry. Since then, her Short n’ Sweet Tour has enjoyed a successful run, even topping charts for four non-consecutive weeks.
On Saturday night, Carpenter thrilled fans with a mashup of her songs “Espresso” and “Please Please Please” with Swift’s “Is It Over Now.” Swift had called Carpenter before the show, urging her to come over. Carpenter responded that she’d be there “in five seconds.” Cheers erupted as Carpenter appeared from a stage trap door, creating an unforgettable moment.
Swift is close to finishing the U.S. leg of her record-breaking tour, with only a few dates left in Indianapolis and Canada. Though her shows prevent her from attending Travis Kelce’s games, Swift remains dedicated to her fans. This onstage collaboration highlights the bond between the two stars, with Carpenter’s surprise appearance showcasing mutual respect and artistry.
