Sabrina Carpenter and Taylor Swift introduced a novel twist on "Espresso" to the vibrant city of New Orleans. On Saturday night, during Swift's world-renowned Eras tour's stop in the city, the two pop icons shared the spotlight at Caesars Superdome, delivering a mesmerizing medley of their respective chart-toppers.
In a snippet that Carpenter gracefully shared on her Instagram story, Swift enchanted the audience with an acoustic rendition of Carpenter's "Espresso," her melodious voice harmonizing seamlessly with Carpenter's, who stood to her right, belting out the lyrics into a microphone that seemed to shimmer with every note. Together, they crooned, "Say you can't sleep, baby, I know that's that me espresso," preceding a brief, captivating guitar riff. Subsequently, Swift seamlessly transitioned into her own hit, belting out the iconic line, "Is it over now!" which ignited the crowd into an explosion of cheers.
Over the Instagram video, Carpenter playfully captioned, "300 eraspressos later!!!!!!!!" – a clever pun that tied her song inextricably with Swift's tour.
Carpenter is no novice to the Eras tour experience. The talented singer had the honor of opening multiple legs of the tour between August 2023 and March 2024, a role bestowed upon her by Swift herself. Upon completing her tour duties, Carpenter posted a heartfelt message on Instagram, expressing her gratitude to Swift. "The most thank you's I've ever thank you'd to Taylor. I feel incredibly fortunate to witness the magic that you and this tour embody," she penned.
Earlier this summer, when Carpenter celebrated the success of her album as it soared to the pinnacle of the pop charts, Swift offered her unwavering support with a warm message: "SUMMER OF SABRINA AND MAY IT CONTINUE FOREVER."
The Eras tour will conclude in Vancouver on December 8, leaving a trail of unforgettable memories and musical magic in its wake.
