Sabrina Carpenter playfully arrested SZA during one of her stops in the Short n’ Sweet tour. According to a report by Where Is The Buzz, Carpenter caught sight of the Snooze singer and called her name out. She then said:

ā€œSZA, you know what they say, it’s cuffing season, so I’m getting really flustered. Oh, sh*t. SOS, for real? Would you be the audience? Will you be my Valentine? My fabulous? This one’s for SZA and Juno, girl.ā€

Social media users reacted to fun-filled interaction, while one X user speculated:

ā€œWe getting a collab guys.ā€

A netizen praised SZA, as they wrote:

ā€œShe’s so real for attending. 2 queens supporting each other!ā€

In similar lines, one platform user reacted:

ā€œThat’s the kind of chaotic, iconic crossover energy the world didn’t know it needed playful, unexpected, and absolutely unforgettable. Pure entertainment gold.ā€

One online commentator mentioned:

ā€œngl, can't tell if this is a crossover episode or a plot twist Is there a backstory or just LA being LA?ā€

A social media user jokingly praised Sabrina Carpenter, saying:

ā€œSZA? Nah, I think Carpenter just put herself under arrest for being too good at her job. She's always the one arresting everyone!ā€

Another social media user commented:

ā€œSabrina Carpenter arresting SZA on stage is wild pop girl chaos at its peak, and LA ate it up.ā€

When Carpenter asked where SZA was from, she said New Jersey, and the crowd cheered. Carpenter remarked that the audience did not scream as loudly for other cities.


Sabrina Carpenter talks about the intention behind Man's Best Friend

In August 2025, Sabrina Carpenter released her seventh studio album, Man's Best Friend. During a conversation with Gayle King about the album in September 2025, she was asked about what she expected from the album since Short n’ Sweet had done well. The songstress replied:

ā€œMy intention when I started writing this album was to start writing it before I felt pressure to follow something up. So, I don't feel that really. I feel like it's its own thing. I think that it's sort of like… I don't know when you have like a bunch of movies, you know, and every movie is different in your discography, it doesn't really, you know, I think as a collection and a culmination of things together, it just becomes your work. But they all stand on their own.ā€

King asked what her reaction was to the way people reacted to the album when it first came out. Sabrina Carpenter said that when she sought her close ones’ opinions about the album, they said it was perfect. She mentioned:

ā€œI don't know, everything about it to me just felt like so opposite of like the world ending. So, I was excited. I was excited. It made them feel something. And also excited that you know I think it's really interesting that so many different parts now I think of an album of a project can have so many different meanings.ā€

Sabrina Carpenter explained that her album was meant to show how she felt about control, both when she had it and when she didn’t. As a young woman, she knew exactly when she was in charge and when she wasn’t, and sometimes those moments were based on her own choices.

She said the album was about being human, making mistakes, and understanding that even when she knew a situation might end badly, it could still teach her something important.
