The friendship ended with Short and sweet Tour. Now Short and scary Tour is our best friend.

Sabrina Carpenter caused a stir during her stop in Dallas Short and sweet Go on tour on Wednesday night, slip into various costumes from cult films and pull off spooky Halloween gags left and right.

It all started when Carpenter took the stage in a towel, which she tore off to reveal a black, sequined Playboy bunny costume. In a behind-the-scenes TikTok posted to Carpenter’s official account the following day, the “Please, Please, Please” singer lip-synced dialogue from the 2008 Anna Faris comedy The house bunny. “Oh hell no, no, these girls all have boobs and no brains,” Carpenter gushed. “I’m too busy, in a library reading books with dust on them.”

She wore the outfit on stage at the American Airlines Center to perform a mix of songs from her latest album. Short and sweetincluding “Bed Chem.” Carpenter begins performing the song by lowering her microphone from the rafters, pausing just above arm’s reach to play with her diminutive stature. This time the microphone was lowered into the clutches of a giant black spider, giving her a bit of playful fear.

The performance of “Bed Chem” devolved into a gruesome chainsaw murder scene, seen from the other side of a velvet curtain, and ended with a shot of Carpenter resting on a heart-shaped bed next to a skeleton.

Attentive fans also noticed a small lettering sewn into Carpenter’s tights: “Short n’ Spooky.”

For the evening’s performance of “Espresso” – the undisputed song of the summer that ultimately transformed Carpenter from your favorite pop star’s favorite pop star to everyone’s favorite pop star – she dressed up as Tinkerbell. At the top of a grand staircase, Carpenter emerged in a lime green minidress with a recognizable scalloped hem and fairy wings as she gushed, “I work long hours because I’m a singer.”

Carpenter included a number of gags Short and sweet Tour that changes at each stop, a practice she first began at this one Emails I can’t send tour, singing a different, double-entendre outro to her song “Nonsense” every night. Midway through new song “Juno,” Carpenter strikes what fans call “position,” a tongue-in-cheek reference to the line she sings while posing: “Have you ever tried this?”

While still dressed as Tinkerbell, Carpenter shuffled to the end of the stage walkway and shouted, “Boo!”, and concertgoers reacted with mock fear as the heart-shaped end of the runway lifted them off the ground.

Carpenter knows her aesthetic references well and finally takes the stage in the form of one of her most influential ancestors: Olivia Newton-John Fat. She carried this out Emails I can’t send hit “Feather” in the skin-tight black “Bad Girl” jumpsuit Newton-John wore at the end of the 1978 film, looking every bit the spitting image of the late singer.

After a game of Spin the Bottle (another late-night gag that will determine which cover Carpenter will perform), it was decided that Carpenter would perform a rousing rendition of Newton-Johns Fat Torch song “Hopelessly Devoted to You.” On Thursday, she posted a behind-the-scenes video on TikTok in the outfit, lip-syncing one of Newton-John’s infamous lines from the film: “Tell me about it, stud.”

Other Halloween treats included the crew backstage wearing blonde Carpenter-style wigs, the banister on the grand staircase covered in a spooky spider web, and the singer performing “Slim Pickins” surrounded by pumpkins, black cats, and more paranormal paraphernalia.
