Sabrina Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet Tour is making headlines, and not just for its dazzling performances. The rising pop star recently received a major co-sign from none other than music legend Janet Jackson, who attended Carpenter’s sold-out show at London’s O2 Arena on Sunday (9 March).
Jackson, known for her iconic career and influence in the music industry, took to X to share her thoughts on the concert. “What a fun show! We enjoyed you @SabrinaAnnLynn,” she wrote, sparking excitement among fans. Carpenter, clearly moved by the gesture, reposted Jackson’s message with a heartfelt reply: “You are everything Janet, ; with three red heart emojis, Thank you for coming.”
The London show was a milestone for Carpenter, who reflected on the experience in a social media post on Tuesday (11 March). She revealed that performing at The O2 Arena as a headliner was a dream come true, especially since she first performed there as an 18-year-old opening act.
“I opened there when I was 18, and it’s been my goal ever since to come back and play my own shows,” Carpenter wrote. “Then you not only sold them out but also made my album number 1 in the UK again while I was there. What did I do to deserve ya?”
The Short n’ Sweet Tour has been a celebration of Carpenter’s artistry, blending old Hollywood glamour with her signature vocals and playful, cheeky charm. The London stop was no exception, drawing a star-studded audience that included Salma Hayek and Spice Girls’ Emma Bunton, alongside Janet Jackson. Carpenter shared a series of photos from the event, capturing the electric energy of the night and her gratitude for the overwhelming support.
