Carpenter gained a reputation for free-styling the ending of her popular track "Emails I Can’t Send," frequently altering the lyrics to resonate with the specific city or country where she was performing.

However, during the opening night of her new tour, Sabrina Carpenter appeared to hint to fans that she might be moving on from her iconic outros, as her microphone "unexpectedly" cut out right before she was set to sing.

She was promptly lowered offstage via a lift, while a message appeared on the screen reading: “We apologize for the interruption of our program due to technical difficulties.”

Fans speculated that the absence of “Nonsense” outros on her current tour indicates a quick shift away from her previous sound, especially with the launch of her new album, "Short n’ Sweet."

Sabrina Carpenter first surprised her fans with a custom outro just for them, singing, “Come over tonight/ My room is spotless/I’m sorry this outro is so chaotic/Atlanta, it’s official/You’re the hottest.”

Since then, she has adapted the outro to reference the city or state where she was performing that night.

“Made his knees so weak, had to spread mine/He’s drinking my bathwater like it’s red wine/Coachella, see you back here when I headline," she sang at Coachella, seemingly referencing her new relationship with Barry Keoghan.

During her "Saturday Night Live" performance, Carpenter sang, “He is 30 rock hard ’cause I said ‘hi’/My sense of humor is but I am not dry/'SNL' I just came for the first time.”

Ahead of its official release, the artist opened up about her latest project, revealing what fans could expect.

"[Short n' Sweet] is very different from my last album," she said, per Just Jared. "Where I questioned it until the day before it came out, like, ‘Is it done?’ and, ‘Could I have changed it?’ and ‘Could I have written another song?’"

"And to be fair, I do have a hard time with the fact that I do feel like life doesn’t stop," she added. "So it’s really hard to tell when a chapter of your life should be book-ended.”
