Taylor Swift Praises Sabrina Carpenter as the ‘Pop Princess of Our Dreams’ Following Surprise Performance in New Orleans
Taylor Swift recently delighted fans in New Orleans by bringing Sabrina Carpenter, her former Eras Tour opener, on stage as a surprise guest. Swift took to Instagram to reflect on the memorable performance, praising Carpenter’s talent and work ethic, calling her the “pop princess of our dreams.”
“Wow, New Orleans. I’m still smiling thinking about that wonderful weekend,” Taylor Swift wrote, expressing her gratitude for the city’s warm welcome. “The city really welcomed us with open arms (with friendship bracelets on those metaphorical arms) and celebrated the tour with such flare. One of the things I’ll always remember from this weekend was getting to surprise the crowd with a performance by the pop princess of our dreams: @sabrinacarpenter.”
Carpenter, who joined Swift for a performance during the New Orleans stop of the Eras Tour, had fans cheering as she stepped on stage to perform “Please Please Please.” Swift, known for bringing special guests to her shows, highlighted how the performance was even more meaningful because of Carpenter’s dedication. Despite her demanding tour schedule, Carpenter made time to surprise Swift’s audience on her one day off.
Swift praised Carpenter’s commitment to her fans and the extraordinary effort she put into the performance, stating, “She had one day off from her very exhaustive tour schedule. Her show is physically full on and spectacular, and she could’ve been resting in her time off. One of the reasons I respect her so much is that she does things like this, goes out of her way to give fans a surprise moment they didn’t expect. She’s as real as they come and I’m so thankful she did that for us.”
Both Swift and Carpenter have been enjoying remarkable success on the charts in 2024. Swift’s Eras Tour has been a massive hit, and her dominance on the Billboard charts is unmatched. She recently became the only woman in Billboard history to replace herself at No. 1 on the Hot 100 twice, with back-to-back singles “Cruel Summer” and “Is It Over Now?”—a testament to her record-breaking year. Swift currently holds a dozen No. 1 singles on the Hot 100, further cementing her legacy as one of pop’s most influential artists.
For Carpenter, 2024 has been equally transformative. After opening for Swift on the Eras Tour, Carpenter’s career has soared. Her album Short n’ Sweet held the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 for four non-consecutive weeks, and her hit single “Espresso” has become her highest-charting song to date. Carpenter’s rise in the music industry has been marked by her hard work and undeniable talent, making her a rising star to watch.
As Swift and Carpenter continue to dominate the pop scene, their recent collaboration in New Orleans showcased the power of two leading forces in music coming together to create unforgettable moments for their fans.
