Sabrina Carpenter dresses as Playboy bunny, Sandy from ‘Grease’ during a concert

The friendship ended with Short and sweet tour. Now Short and creepy touring is our best friend.

Sabrina Carpenter brought the ghost to the Dallas stop Short and sweet tour Wednesday night, dress up in a variety of costumes from iconic films and pull off spooky Halloween pranks left and right.

It all started when Carpenter took the stage in a towel which she tore off to reveal a black Playboy sequin bunny costume. In a behind-the-scenes TikTok posted to Carpenter’s official account the next day, the “Please, Please, Please” singer was seen lip-syncing from the 2008 Anna Faris comedy. The House Rabbit. “Oh no, no, those girls are all boobs and no brains,” Carpenter gushed. “I’m too busy, in a library, reading books with dust on them.”

She wore the outfit on stage at the American Airlines Center to perform a mix of songs from her latest album, Short and sweetincluding ‘Bed Chem.’ Carpenter begins the performance of the song by lowering her microphone from the rafters and pausing for a moment where her arms can reach, in a play with her small frame. This time the microphone was lowered into the clutches of a giant black spider, giving her a bit of playful fear.

The performance of “Bed Chem” culminated in a gruesome murder scene involving a chainsaw, seen from the other side of a velvet curtain, ending with a shot of Carpenter lying at rest on a heart-shaped bed next to a skeleton.

Eagle-eyed fans also noticed a small piece of script stitched into Carpenter’s tights: “Short n’ Spooky.”

For the evening’s performance of “Espresso” — the undisputed song of the summer that ultimately elevated Carpenter from your favorite pop star’s favorite pop star to everyone’s favorite pop star — she dressed up as Tinkerbell. Carpenter appeared at the top of a grand staircase in a lime green minidress with a recognizable serrated hem, sporting a pair of fairy wings as she rhapsodized about “working late because I’m a singer.”

Carpenter has some jokes built into the Short and sweet tour that changes at each stop, a practice she first began Emails I can’t send tour by singing a different ambiguity-laden outro to her song “Nonsense” every night. In the middle of the new song “Juno,” Carpenter hits what fans call a “position,” a winking reference to the line she sings while posing: “Have you ever tried this one?”

While still dressed as Tinkerbell, Carpenter shuffled to the end of the runway and shouted, “Boo!” and concertgoers reacted with mock fear as the heart-shaped end of the runway lifted her off the ground.

Carpenter clearly knows her aesthetic credentials and ultimately takes the stage in the guise of one of her most influential ancestors: Olivia Newton-John in Fat. She conducted the Emails I can’t send hit “Feather” in the skin-tight black “bad girl” jumpsuit Newton-John wore at the end of the 1978 film, looking every bit the spitting image of the late singer.

After a game of spin the bottle (another late-night joke that decides which cover Carpenter will play), it was decided that Carpenter would perform a moving rendition of Newton-John’s. Fat torch song “Hopelessly Devoted to You.” On Thursday, she posted a behind-the-scenes video in the outfit to TikTok, in which she lip-synched one of Newton-John’s infamous lines from the film: “Tell me about it, dude.”

Other Halloween-themed tricks and treats included the crew wearing blonde Carpenter-esque wigs backstage, the grand staircase railing being covered in a creepy spider web, and the singer performing “Slim Pickins” surrounded by pumpkins, black cats and other paranormal paraphernalia. .
