Sabrina Carpenter was joined on stage by Chicago R&B band Earth, Wind & Fire to perform their chart-topping hits “Let's Groove” and “September”.

The “Bed Chem” singer switched to an all-white fringe ensemble that brought major festival flair and captured every breeze and spotlight, for the next section of her set. Sabrina Carpenter turned up the heat with a sultry mashup of “bed chem” and Ginuwine’s “Pony,” effortlessly blending pop seduction with a nostalgic R&B twist.

In a moment that had the crowd roaring, she playfully arrested K-pop sensations TWICE - continuing her viral tradition of cuffing audience members for being “too hot.” The theatrics didn’t stop there. She dropped into her signature "Juno" position - cheeky, confident, and perfectly choreographed, pink handcuffs in tow. And just when the energy couldn’t get any higher, she delivered a powerful performance of “Please Please Please,” closing the segment with charm, edge, and iconic headline-worthy charisma.

Sabrina Carpenter’s upcoming seventh studio album, Man’s Best Friend, is set to release on August 29, 2025, via Island Records. Its lead single, “Manchild,” co-written and produced with Jack Antonoff, has already topped charts in the U.S., U.K., and Ireland, and continues to climb globally. In October, she’ll launch the second North American leg of her Short n’ Sweet tour, kicking off October 23 in Pittsburgh, with major stops at New York, Nashville, Toronto, and Los Angeles.
