Sabrina Carpenter Falls On Stage, But Recovers Like A Pro

Since kicking off her "Short n' Sweet" Tour on September 23, 2024, Sabrina Carpenter has captivated audiences with her bold and flirty outfits that challenge conventional style. The former Disney Channel star's stylist, Jared Ellner, seems to have intentionally curated these striking ensembles to showcase and celebrate Carpenter's playful, feminine persona throughout the tour.

The tour creates an atmosphere reminiscent of vintage variety shows, but the outfits are far from retro. It celebrates the freedom of the female silhouette with a contemporary twist, featuring custom designs from acclaimed brands like Victoria's Secret, Patou, and Ludovic de Saint Sernin.

At one point in the show, the pop star playfully removes her long skirt, revealing a mini skirt that showcased her iconic platform shoes--However, during a recent concert, Sabrina Carpenter had a momentary mishap when she tripped over the skirt and fell down on center stage.

Before belting out her hit song, "Juno," Carpenter picks someone out of the crowd to "arrest" for being too hot. She hands them a pair of fuzzy handcuffs and continues on with the show.

During a recent performance, as she was slipping off her skirt, it became snagged on the heel of her platform shoes, causing her to tumble. Yet, in true Carpenter fashion, she fell gracefully and quickly recovered, turning the mishap into a seamless part of her show.

"THE GRACEFUL FALL," one of her fans said after watching the video. "That fall was so effortlessly graceful," another wrote.

"She even falls with so much grace," a third said.

As they say -- the show must go on!

This weekend, Carpenter and Barry Keoghan made a public statement about their relationship, showing it's still going strong. The "Saltburn" actor was spotted at two of Carpenter’s "Short n’ Sweet Tour" concerts—first in Raleigh, North Carolina, on Saturday, then in Charlottesville, Virginia, on Sunday.

During her Raleigh performance, Carpenter gave a playful shout-out to her rumored boyfriend while singing “Juno.”

“I hear you knocking, Barry, come on up," she sang. (The original line is “I hear you knocking, baby, come on up.”)

Fans in the crowd captured Keoghan fanning himself as he watched Carpenter perform “Bed Chem” during her concert in Charlottesville.

Carpenter recently weighed in on whether she feels she has been spared the harsh criticism that artists like Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera faced for boldly expressing their sexuality in their work.

“No, I definitely get that as well,” she said, reflecting on the changing landscape of the entertainment industry and how it impacts artists today.

“Someone told me this, whenever I would get upset or feel like I'm the only one getting criticized for something other people are able to do seemingly so freely: I'm the one that's seeing all the negative sh-t about myself. My friends don't see that.”

Fans and fashion enthusiasts have recently referred to Carpenter affectionately as a real-life Polly Pocket, a label she appears to embrace with delight.

“If you want to call me a Polly Pocket, a Bratz doll, I don't care,” she told TIME. “You'll meet me and then you'll be like, damn, she talks a lot more than the dolls do.”

She continued, "Femininity is something that I've always embraced and if right now that means corsets and garter belts and fuzzy robes or whatever the f---, then that's what that means."

Carpenter is making UK chart history with her smash hit "Taste." Last week, she became the first artist in 71 years to spend 20 weeks at Number 1 on the Official Singles Chart within a single calendar year.

"Taste" notched its eighth consecutive week at the top, making it 2024's longest-running Number 1, surpassing Noah Kahan's "Stick Season." Carpenter has now spent a total of 20 weeks at Number 1 this year, thanks to "Taste," "Espresso" (7 weeks), and "Please Please Please" (5 weeks). She's only the second artist in Official UK Chart history to achieve this feat in one year.

The only other artist to accomplish this was crooner Frankie Laine, who achieved the milestone way back in 1953, during the early days of the Official Singles Chart.

Sabrina Carpenter's "Short n' Sweet" tour is currently running through March 26, 2025.
