From opening for the Eras Tour to headlining her own successful one, Sabrina Carpenter has certainly come a long way. While she has toured before, Short n’ Sweet tour is Carpenter’s first official arena tour, which she kicked off right after dropping her breakthrough album. With her sold-out shows, the pop star has now established herself as a force in the music industry. And now, she is bringing in even more iconic musical stars to amp up the tour’s magic.
During her recent LA show, Sabrina Carpenter welcomed a legend of the music industry, Christina Aguilera, who has been a global sensation since the late ‘90s. The crowd went wild as soon as Aguilera started performing her hit ‘Ain’t No Other Man’ from 2006. But things got even more exciting when Carpenter joined her, and together they belted out the classic track, creating a moment that fans will never forget.

This was not the first time Carpenter and Aguilera teamed up, though. The two previously collaborated last month on a reimagined version of Aguilera’s classic hit, ‘What a Girl Wants,’ all while casually sitting on a couch. On top of that, Aguilera recently penned a heartfelt tribute to Carpenter after the ‘Espresso’ singer made it onto the TIME100 Next list. Now, fans can not stop talking about this new pop duo.
Carpenter’s surprise sent fans into a frenzy as they could not believe how effortlessly the two artists synced with each other’s styles.
Sabrina Carpenter and Christina Aguilera create an unforgettable night
Sabrina Carpenter and Christina Aguilera share a professional admiration or each other, but they are also friends. The two even filmed a playful TikTok video where Carpenter jokingly claimed to be the 43-year-old’s child. These fun moments have led fans to joke about a mother-daughter dynamic between the two singers. Now, many believe Carpenter is not just the ‘Taydaughter’ she is often seen as
, but also part of Christina Aguilera’s musical lineage.
