Taylor Swift has praised Sabrina Carpenter, calling her “the pop princess of our dreams” in a new post – check it out below.
Taking to social media last night (October 29), Swift shared a series of photos from her recent trio of shows in New Orleans, Louisiana as she continues the final leg of her huge global ‘Eras Tour’.

The first image of the selection showed the pop star onstage with Carpenter at last Saturday’s concert (October 26).
For the ‘surprise songs’ segment, the pair performed an acoustic mash-up of Carpenter’s hits ‘Espresso’ and ‘Please Please Please’, and Swift’s vault track ‘Is It Over Now?’ from ‘1989 (Taylor’s Version)’.
“Wow, New Orleans. I’m still smiling thinking about that wonderful weekend. The city really welcomed us with open arms (with friendship bracelets on those metaphorical arms) and celebrated the tour with such flare,” Swift wrote as the caption.
“One of the things I’ll always remember from this weekend was getting to surprise the crowd with a performance by the pop princess of our dreams: @sabrinacarpenter.”
The singer went on to say that Carpenter – who opened for her earlier on the ‘Eras Tour’, and joined her onstage on that leg – took time out of “her very exhaustive tour schedule” to perform in New Orleans.
“Her show is physically full on and spectacular, and she could’ve been resting in her time off,” Swift continued. “One of the reasons I respect her so much is that she does things like this, goes out of her way to give fans a surprise moment they didn’t expect.
“She’s as real as they come and I’m so thankful she did that for us. Thank you to every one of those beautiful faces I got to see on 3 magical nights in Louisiana. Our next stop is our last US city on The Eras Tour: Indianapolis .”
Sharing her own message about the live collaboration, Carpenter said: “Only stage I’d ever wanna see on a day off !!!! Thank you for working late, thank you for being a singer and thank you for having me @taylorswift I love you!!.
Earlier this month, Carpenter revealed the advice Swift had shared with her on handling fame and pressure in the spotlight. She previously reflected on being a support act at the ‘Eras Tour’, calling it “a whirlwind” experience.
Expressing her gratitude to Swift, Carpenter wrote: “The most thank you’s I’ve ever thank you’d to Taylor.
“I feel so lucky to witness the magic that is you and this tour. There is truly no one like you and there never will be! I love you with all my heart and I will cherish this Taybrina era (and all the eras) till the end of time.”
Carpenter is currently on the North American leg of her ‘Short N’ Sweet’ tour in support of her latest album of the same name.
Meanwhile, Swift was joined by Florence Welch at an ‘Eras Tour’ show in Miami, Florida earlier this month where the pair performed their collaboration ‘Florida!!!’ from ‘The Tortured Poets Department’.
In other news, Swift has announced an official book to commemorate the ‘Eras Tour’, as well as the physical editions of her ‘Anthology’ album.
