Less than a year ago, Sabrina Carpenter was Taylor Swift’s opening act on the international leg of the ‘Eras Tour.’
Things have changed quite a bit since then.
Following the release of her mega singles “Espresso” and “Please Please Please” — some call them the songs of summer — she became a bona fide headliner in her own right.
Now, on Sunday, Sept. 29, Carpenter will bring her own international ‘Short n’ Sweet Tour’ to New York City’s Madison Square Garden along with special guest Amaarae
The following night, Monday, Sept. 30, the “Taste” singer swings into Brooklyn’s Barclays Center for an encore Big Apple performance.
These back-to-back gigs will be the fourth and fifth shows on the sprawling, intercontinental run; the first concert took place at Columbus’ Nationwide Arena and was reportedly a three-act doozy.
“OPENING NIGHT SURE WAS SWEET,” Carpenter shared on Instagram. “Thank you Columbus for a sold out show and dressing up and singing every single word.”
If you want to dress up and sing along with Taylor Swift’s former opener, last-minute tickets are still available for both huge arena shows.
At the time of publication, the cheapest tickets for the MSG show was $314 before fees on Vivid Seats.
Barclays Center seats start at $258 before fees.

Sabrina Carpenter new music
On Friday, Aug. 23, Carpenter dropped her sixth studio album “Short n’ Sweet.”
Clocking in at just 36 minutes, the record is short and sweet but also saucy and slinky. It’s a major step forward for the budding pop star. By our estimation, traces of folk, R&B, synth rock, and country line the sonically adventurous album.
Standout tracks — other than the ubiquitous and ebullient “Espresso” and “Please Please Please” — include the downbeat, chillwave-esque “Don’t Smile,” winsome “Slim Pickins” (this song may be the very definition of “demure”) and self-righteous “Taste.”
Don’t sleep on the dreamy Olivia Rodrigo-ish “Lie To Girls” either. The urgent lyrics are a gut punch, too. “You don’t have to lie to girls/ if they like you/ they they’ll just lie to themselves” will be rattling around in our brains rent-free for months and for good reason; that’s a wallop.

Amaarae
The 30-year-old R&B songstress has a pair of studio albums under her belt; 2020’s “The Angel You Don’t Know” and 2023’s “Fountain Baby.”
If you haven’t heard her before, we recommend starting with her smash “Sad Gurlz Luz Money” and then try the plucky “Angels In Tibet” and smooth “sweeeet.”
Her entire discography can be found here.
