Taylor Swift and Sabrina Carpenter Perform ‘Espresso’ Mashup at Eras Tour

In an electrifying moment during her Eras Tour, Taylor Swift surprised fans at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans on October 26 by inviting Sabrina Carpenter on stage for a special duet of Caroline’s hit song “Espresso.” The unexpected collaboration was a hit, and audience members enjoyed a unique mash-up that allowed them to sing along with Swift as she performed Carpenter’s infectious track.

Prior to launching into the performance, Swift addressed the crowd, sharing her excitement about singing a song outside her own catalog. She emphasized her admiration for Carpenter, expressing that “Espresso” had been on her mind and that she wanted to share the joy of the song with the 65,000 fans in attendance. Swift began by delivering the first verse of “Espresso” before pausing to reflect on her deep appreciation for Carpenter’s work.

The friendship between Swift and Carpenter has blossomed over the years. Carpenter was once a dedicated fan of Swift and even shared several covers of Swift’s songs on YouTube before establishing her own musical identity with tracks like “Nonsense” and “Espresso.” During their on-stage interaction, Swift could not contain her excitement about Carpenter’s recent successes in the music industry, encouraging the crowd to appreciate her friend’s remarkable achievements this year.

In a light-hearted twist, Swift called Carpenter while on stage, placing her on speakerphone for the audience to hear. Carpenter, who felt the energy from the crowd, described the experience as exhilarating, saying it felt like being on a rollercoaster. Swift playfully inquired about how quickly Carpenter could join her on stage, to which Carpenter humorously responded that it would only take her five seconds.

This collaboration isn’t the first time the two have shared the stage. Earlier in February, Swift and Carpenter treated fans in Sydney to a special performance featuring a mash-up that combined “Espresso” with Swift’s own song “Is It Over Now.” After their memorable set, Swift expressed her admiration for Carpenter and rallied the audience to show their appreciation for her friend’s talent.

As the tour continues, fans can’t help but anticipate more surprise appearances and exciting collaborations, reinforcing the special bond between these two artists.
