Sabrina Carpenter showed up to the event in an unusual black sequined outfit
Sabrina Carpenter glammed up to perform on The Tonight Show in Manhattan on Thursday while promoting her newly-dropped, sixth studio album Short n’ Sweet.
The 25-year-old pop star slipped her petite 4ft11in frame into a plunging, backless black-sequin gown selected by stylist Ron Hartleben.
Sabrina sang a jazzy, stripped rendition of her No. 1 hit song Please Please Please while barefoot and perched on a white grand piano.
Carpenter eventually stood up as she finished off the track about instructing her boyfriend not to blunder and blemish her reputation.
Hairstylist Scott King coiffed the Espresso hitmaker’s signature flaxen, fringed mane and make-up artist Carolina Gonzalez fully contoured her complexion for her fourth appearance on the NBC talk show.
Sabrina opted for a baby-blue sparkly collared top, matching shorts, and towering platform heels for the interview segment with host Jimmy Fallon.
‘I mean honestly, like, it does really feel like a self-titled album to me,’ Carpenter said of her 12-track record that dropped Friday at midnight ET.
‘Well, also because Short n’ Sweet is sort of like Sabrina in another language to me. It really just feels like all of these stories and memories and very much like blunt,
very forward, very fun, and just some of the best memories that I’ve had for the last two years of writing it, so I’m so excited for everyone to hear it!’
That same night, the former Disney Channel star — who taught herself how to play piano and guitar with YouTube tutorials — shared a BTS slideshow of the making of Short n’ Sweet with collaborators like Jack Antonoff, Amy Allen, Julia Michaels, John Ryan, Julian Bunetta, and Steph Jones.
Sabrina — who boasts 76.3M social media followers — wrote on Instagram: ‘The making of Short n’ Sweet was one of the most special, honest, up-and-down, stupid, and fun experiences of my life!
I thought if something was funny enough to make me laugh then maybe it belonged in a song. Happy or sad! Thank you to my brilliant [and] talented friends.’
