“The ‘Espresso’ singer expresses her admiration for Swift’s artistry while reflecting on a full-circle moment during their surprise performance in New Orleans.”
Sabrina Carpenter was all smiles as she took the stage alongside her friend Taylor Swift during the Eras Tour concert at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans on Saturday, October 26. The 25-year-old singer surprised fans by performing a duet with Swift, showcasing her hit songs “Espresso” and “Please, Please Please,” blended with Swift’s “Is It Over Now?” in a spontaneous mashup that thrilled the audience.
Following the performance, Carpenter took to Instagram to share her excitement. In a heartfelt post, she wrote, “Only stage I’d ever wanna see on a day off!!!!” She expressed her gratitude towards Swift, adding, “Thank you for working late, thank you for being a singer, and thank you for having me🤍,” referencing her hit single in her message of appreciation.
This surprise appearance marked a significant moment for Carpenter, who is currently on her Short n’ Sweet Tour. She had previously joined Swift as a supporting act during her international shows in Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Japan, Australia, and Singapore, making this collaboration a full-circle experience for the rising star. Earlier this year, the two also performed a medley of “White Horse” and “Coney Island” during a show in Sydney.
In August, Carpenter spoke about her close friendship with Swift, describing the “Anti-Hero” singer as a “rock star” and acknowledging Swift’s continuous support for her career. “You just watch her, like, walk in a room and it’s very easy to understand that she’s so composed, she’s graceful, she’s gracious,” Carpenter told CBS Sunday Morning, highlighting the influence Swift has had on her journey.
As Swift’s Eras Tour continues, with upcoming performances in Indianapolis and Toronto, the friendship between these two artists remains a heartwarming example of support and collaboration within the music industry. Fans eagerly anticipate more magical moments from this dynamic duo as they navigate their musical paths together.
