In case you didn’t know, Sabrina Carpenter is currently touring her Short n’ Sweet Tour, and fans have dubbed her old Hollywood-style opening scene “the best ever”. 

If there’s one thing the “Please Please Please” hitmaker knows how to do, it’s making a grand entrance. The singer-songwriter kicked off her headlining tour in Columbus, Ohio on 23 September after previously opening for Taylor Swift’s record-breaking Eras Tour.

Carpenter’s headlining tour is set to make stops in New York City, Boston, Dallas, San Francisco, Montreal and more cities in North America before it wraps on 15 November, and she goes on to tour in the UK and Europe.

And despite previously making headlines for appearing to leave the stage early without serving her iconic (and often hilarious) “Nonsense” outro lyrics, it seems her Short n’ Sweet Tour is off to a better start than it ends. 

In a viral video shared to X of her tour opening, an elaborate opening scene is played across the big screen. Accompanied by some jazz-inspired elevator music, an animated Carpenter walks along the pavement with three bluebirds carrying her shopping bags and two cats to keep her company.

 A title sequence appears on-screen, reading “The Short n’ Sweet Show”. Cut to a very relaxed Carpenter having a bubble bath while a narrator explains how her “morning routine sets the stage for a day of endless possibilities, and as such, mustn’t be rushed”. 

The narration continues: “After all, how is one to maintain such an infectious smile? Hold on a moment, aren’t you forgetting something? What day is it today?”
