Taylor Swift is full of reward for her former Eras Tour opener Sabrina Carpenter, dubbing the “Please Please Please” singer “the pop princess of our dreams” after Carpenter joined her as a shock visitor in New Orleans over the weekend.

“Wow, New Orleans. I’m still smiling thinking about that wonderful weekend,” Swift wrote in an Instagram publish reflecting on the memorable efficiency.

“The city really welcomed us with open arms (with friendship bracelets on those metaphorical arms) and celebrated the tour with such flare. One of the things I’ll always remember from this weekend was getting to surprise the crowd with a performance by the pop princess of our dreams: @sabrinacarpenter.”

Swift, who has an extended historical past of bringing particular friends to her stage, took the alternative to reward Carpenter’s work ethic, noting her dedication to making a particular second for followers regardless of her demanding schedule.

“Side note: She had one day off from her very exhaustive tour schedule. Her show is physically full on and spectacular, and she could’ve been resting in her time off. One of the reasons I respect her so much is that she does things like this, goes out of her way to give fans a surprise moment they didn’t expect,” Swift continued. “She’s as real as they come and I’m so thankful she did that for us.”

Swift and Carpenter have dominated the Billboard charts in 2024. Swift’s record-breaking run features a dozen No. 1 singles on the Hot 100, with latest back-to-back hits “Cruel Summer” and “Is It Over Now?”—making her the solely girl to ever exchange herself at No. 1 twice.

For Carpenter, who kicked off her rise as an Eras Tour opener, this yr has been huge. Her album Short n’ Sweet has held No. 1 on the Billboard 200 for 4 non-consecutive weeks, and “Espresso” turned her highest-charting track but.
