The singer expressed her heartfelt appreciation to Sabrina Carpenter for treating the audience to her favorite track, “Lie to Girls,” during the electrifying concert.
Katy Perry paid a glowing tribute to the talented Sabrina Carpenter after the young pop star’s captivating performance at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles earlier this week, marking a significant moment in both their careers.
Although Perry attended the concert with her adorable nieces, the evening took a nostalgic turn when she notably reunited with her former flame, John Mayer, in the audience, nearly a decade after their very-public breakup. Both Perry and Mayer were spotted enjoying Carpenter’s Short ‘n Sweet tour stop on November 17, amidst a star-studded crowd that included the likes of Cara Delevingne, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and the ever-charismatic Blue Ivy Carter.
During the high-energy show, Carpenter humorously “arrested” Marcello Hernández’s viral character from Saturday Night Live, known as Domingo, for being irresistibly attractive. In a light-hearted exchange, Hernández, in character, informed Carpenter in his signature accent that he hailed from “Miami, baby,” prompting her playful response, “Miami? I wish you were from my bedroom. What are you doing here tonight?”
“I’m the cute boy with the blue jacket and the thick accent,” Hernández declared as Domingo. To which Carpenter, clearly charmed, replied, “I’m getting so flustered and overwhelmed. Is there anything you want to say before I arrest you, Domingo?” The comedic skit continued with Hernández delighting the audience by performing a few lines from his imaginative riff on Carpenter’s hit “Espresso.”
Although Los Angeles marks the celebratory culmination of Carpenter’s U.S. tour dates, she is set to captivate fans across the pond, with exciting performances scheduled for the U.K. and Europe next spring, including shows in vibrant cities like London and Paris.
