Sabrina Carpenter has officially taken the stage around the world with her dazzling Short n' Sweet Tour, which kicked off on September 23, 2024, in Columbus, Ohio. After an energetic first show featuring 21 songs, the tour has been a whirlwind of excitement as she brings smiles and unforgettable moments to audiences across 29 cities in North America, including iconic venues such as Madison Square Garden in New York and Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
Recently, Carpenter marked a significant milestone at the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards, where she was honored as the Pop Artist of the Year. The singer expressed her thanks in a heartfelt video posted to social media, saying, “Hey everybody! I’m currently on the Short n’ Sweet Tour in Europe, so I’m so devastated that I can’t be there right now especially since you gave me this beautiful award. Thank you so much for voting me your Pop Artist of the Year. That’s so surreal.”
As she continues to charm audiences, Carpenter has made it clear that this tour is unlike any other. Notably, she will not be performing any songs from her first four albums, as she feels disconnected from that music due to her personal growth and artistic evolution. “For the people who love those early records and listen to them, I love you for that,” she remarked, “But I personally feel a sense of separation from them, largely due to the shift in who I am as a person and as an artist, pre-pandemic and post-pandemic.”
The tour features a surprising new segment: a live “Spin the Bottle” game where Carpenter chooses one of four surprise cover songs each night to perform. Fans have already enjoyed a variety of classics, including hits by ABBA, Shania Twain, and Madonna. Each performance brings unique excitement, with songs like “Mamma Mia” and “Material Girl” rotating throughout her tour.
After the North American leg, Carpenter's Short n’ Sweet Tour transitioned to Europe, where she recently performed in Dublin and Paris. In Dublin, fans were treated to her stunning emerald green bodysuit, while her Paris shows featured her in eye-catching outfits inspired by a whimsical mixture of styles. Each performance seems to impart a little piece of her personality, including her excitingly chic and colorful wardrobe choices.
Discussing her fashion for the tour, Carpenter’s styling team has worked diligently since summer 2024 to create outfits that reflect her vibrant persona. Each night, concertgoers are treated to a variety of looks inspired by 60s icons such as Brigitte Bardot and Audrey Hepburn. From pastel colors and dainty embellishments to bold Union Jack-themed designs for her London show, the costumes have become a highlight of the experience.
According to fashion insiders, Carpenter's team is led by A-list stylist Jared Ellner, who collaborates with the 23-year-old star to ensure the wardrobe captures the spirit of each concert. The result is an ever-evolving display of fashion that keeps fans guessing what she will wear next. For instance, past shows featured nearly naked corseted outfits, luscious gowns, and even playful baseball-themed looks.
Returning to her North American roots, Carpenter stole the show wearing a red custom baseball jersey at her Philadelphia concert, celebrating her hometown team with flair. Following the after-hours vibes of her “Sabrina After Dark” segment, she showcases stylish outfits draped in crystals and pastel-colored feathers that radiate elegance and fun.
As the countdown begins to the tour's conclusion on November 23, 2025, the excitement only heightens. Carpenter continues to make headlines and capture hearts with each performance as she explores new bounds of creativity in both her music and fashion. Each show is a synthesis of modern pop culture mixed with nostalgic designs, establishing her as one of today’s leading pop icons.
In conclusion, with every unforgettable performance, Sabrina Carpenter proves that her Short n' Sweet Tour is set to leave a lasting impact on fans. As her music resonates worldwide, expect bigger moments and stunning visuals to unfold as she continues to redefine what it means to be a pop star.
