In a dazzling series of performances that had Los Angeles buzzing, Sabrina Carpenter transformed her weekend concerts into a star-studded celebration, bringing together entertainment icons and viral sensations alike. The pop sensation’s three-night stint across LA venues showcased her ability to create unforgettable moments that bridged generations of entertainment.
SNL’s Domingo Makes Dreams Come True
The crowd at Kia Forum erupted on Sunday night (Nov. 17) when Marcello Hernández appeared, reprising his viral SNL character Domingo during Carpenter’s signature “arrest” segment. The moment was perfectly connected to last month’s SNL sketch, where Hernández had performed to Carpenter’s hit song “Espresso.”
“I’m from Miami, baby,” Hernández growled in his character’s signature accent, leading to a playful exchange with Carpenter, who quipped, “I wish you were from my bedroom.” The interaction delighted fans as Hernández delivered his now-famous lines, including the crowd-pleasing “Sabrina’s a friend; she’s like my sis… but I would hook up, though,” was one of the crowd-pleasing lines Hernández delivered during the interaction.
Pop Icon Collision: Christina Aguilera Joins The Party
The weekend’s highlights reached another peak when Christina Aguilera made a surprise appearance at the Crypto.com Arena show. The two singers, dressed in coordinated dark-colored outfits, delivered electric performances of Aguilera’s classics “Ain’t No Other Man” and “What a Girl Wants.”
For Carpenter, the collaboration held special meaning. “She was one of my very first idols and icons,” she had shared in a recent Paper Magazine interview. When I was 11, I couldn’t stop saying her name. Those songs raised me.”
The Star-Studded Tour Continues To Surprise
These LA appearances follow a pattern of notable guest spots on Carpenter’s tour. Earlier, she “arrested” Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown during her Atlanta stop, creating another viral moment with the playful comment, “Millie, I’ve never fallen in love at a concert before, but stranger things have happened.”
The LA shows mark the conclusion of Carpenter’s U.S. tour dates, but fans across the Atlantic have much to look forward to. Next spring, the singer plans to bring her dynamic show to the UK and Europe, with performances scheduled in London, Paris, and other major cities.
A New Chapter In Pop Music
The weekend’s performances, particularly the multi-generational collaboration with Aguilera, represent more than just entertainment. They showcase the evolving landscape of pop music, where social media moments blend seamlessly with traditional star power. Carpenter’s rise in the industry will likely mark these LA shows as defining moments in her career trajectory.
The success of these performances also highlights Carpenter’s ability to create authentic connections across different entertainment spheres—from viral SNL sketches to collaborations with established pop icons. It’s this versatility and authenticity that continues to endear her to fans and fellow artists alike.
As the U.S. leg of her tour concludes, these LA performances serve as a powerful reminder of Carpenter’s growing influence in the entertainment industry. With each show bringing its own unique surprises and memorable moments, she’s proven herself as not just a rising star but a force capable of bringing together different generations and genres of entertainment.
