Published: Nov 21 2025

SZA found herself under arrest for being too captivating, as the 36-year-old American singer-songwriter became the latest target of Sabrina Carpenter's affection during her six-night run in Los Angeles. As the Espresso hitmaker took the stage at the Crypto.com Arena on November 20th, she spotted a beauty in a red corset amidst the adoring fans. Her gaze locked with SZA, whose real name is Solána Imani Rowe, and the Grammy winner couldn't help but tease, "I've got some competition."

As the blue and red sirens blared, the Manchild songstress continued, "SZA, you know what they say, it's cuffing season, so I'm getting really flustered." With a flourish, she handed over a pink fluffy cuff, saying, "Would you be the audience? Will you be my Valentine? My fabulous? This one's for SZA and Juno, girl. Such a beauty."

The All the Stars singer also marked the moment with a sweet shout-out to Carpenter. After the playful segment, the Snooze singer took to her Instagram Stories and reposted a fan-captured video of the Juno "arrest" tradition, adding a short n’ sweet message that read, "Shy Guys @sabrinacarpenter [red heart emoji]."

The former Disney actress also shared SZA's story on her social media. The Kill Bill vocalist is the latest celebrity to join the Juno "arrest" segment, following previous encounters with stars like Millie Bobby Brown, Joe Keery, Gigi Hadid, Nicole Kidman, Drew Barrymore, Dakota and Elle Fanning, and TWICE members Jihyo, Momo, and Sana.

For those who may not be in the know, Carpenter has just two more shows left on the North American leg of her Short n' Sweet tour. She will take over the arena on November 22nd and 23rd before her tour officially concludes this weekend in Los Angeles, California.
