Sabrina Carpenter took the stage at Madison Square Garden (MSG) in New York City, delivering a sold-out performance on her “Short n’ Sweet” tour.

Carpenter began her first stadium tour in Colombus, Ohio, and has since kept her fans enthralled with her captivating dances and stylish new attire.

With fans lined up hours before showtime, the excitement outside the iconic venue was palpable. It marked a milestone in the pop singer’s career-performing at one of the world’s most famous arenas.

Not only was this Carpenter’s first time playing at MSG, but it was also her first sold-out show at the venue. The singer expressed heartfelt gratitude to her fans, stating, “My whole life I’ve always wanted to play Madison Square Garden, but I wasn’t sure if the first time I’d ever played, it would be to a sold-out show. So thank you so much.”

Before her performance, Carpenter also shared a TikTok in which she lip-synced “I’m kinda busy” from Lady Gaga’s “Telephone” while posing in front of her MSG sold-out poster.

The setlist featured hits from her growing discography, including fan favorites like “Juno,” “Taste,” and ending with “Espresso.” The music icon also performed tracks from Emails I Can’t Send, which has resonated with fans because of its raw vulnerability and emotional depth. Songs like “Tornado Warnings” and “Because I Liked A Boy” struck a chord with the audience, many of whom sang along to every word.

Visually, the concert was a spectacle. The pop star wore new clothes with her glittery and heart-themed ensemble. Carpenter appeared in a yellow version of the “Good Graces” and “Taste” bodysuit.

She also appeared with a pink version of her “Dumb & Poetic” and “Juno” dress.

Carpenter’s sharp humor and thrilling performances dominated the evening. “Should we talk about how I got the mayor indicted?” the singer joked before introducing “Nonsense,” referring to the rumors surrounding her contentious “Feather” music video.

Despite all the night’s successes, Carpenter shows no signs of slowing down. With Short n’ Sweet officially going platinum, the singer holds a bright future in music ahead of her.
