Transcript

00:00We realized that you can get fuzzy pink handcuffs like in bulk.

00:03I don't know why I decided upon this like everything's super close together vibe, but

00:07that's what we're doing.

00:08I'll shut up.

00:09Hi, I'm Sabrina Carpenter and I'm going to scrapbook my tour with Variety.

00:20Okay, I'm going to tape this here.

00:23I hope that looks good.

00:25The Juno Arrest has been one of the most special memories of the whole tour by far.

00:33It started by a mere innocent concept of wanting to highlight my audience because of how gorgeous

00:39they all are.

00:40And it's, as most of my bits tend to go, gotten really out of hand, I would say.

00:47And we progressively just get more and more bizarre with the guests that I have at the

00:52shows or the fans that show up and the way that they're dressed and the interactions

00:57when they're being arrested.

00:59But basically I have this line in Juno that says, want to try on my fuzzy pink handcuffs.

01:04And I was like, it'd be fun to give the fans pink fuzzy handcuffs every night.

01:08We realized that you can get fuzzy pink handcuffs like in bulk.

01:12So it really worked out for us.

01:13And it's been lasting us the whole tour.

01:16I've gotten to arrest wonderful amount of people from fans at the shows to friends of

01:20mine that come to people that are just so incredibly talented and amazing guests at the show.

01:26And that's been really fun as well.

01:28When I got to arrest Jack Antonoff and Margaret, they were like my first ever like couple arrests,

01:35which was really, really fun.

01:36And that was at one of my shows in LA.

01:38I would be in love with Margaret, like anyways, so to be able to arrest her and get that moment

01:45with her, even though her husband was there, was really special for me.

01:48Her husband, Jack, who I know very well, was very special and very fun for me.

01:51And they were both so lovely and playful about it.

01:54I recently just got to arrest Anne Hathaway at my show in New York and like, why?

01:59I don't know.

02:00She was amazing.

02:01I'm so honored that she was there.

02:04It was so funny, like seeing her like grace the screens, you're just like, she's a, she's

02:08so beautiful.

02:09And she was so sweet.

02:10And she was like, I'm from Genovia.

02:11And that really made my whole life a lot better.

02:14Okay, great.

02:17So this is our customized Sabrina, I guess it's beer bottle for our tour.

02:25I don't even really drink beer, which is, I guess the irony, but this is a moment that

02:29we wanted to create at the beginning of the tour.

02:32I really realized on the emails I can't send tour how people value spontaneity in shows

02:37and, and also feeling like they got something different in their city in that night that

02:42no other city has gotten and, and, or just an experience that they felt really special

02:47from.

02:47And so I wanted to find a way to do that on this tour.

02:51And we decided to make our own game of spin the bottle.

02:54And instead of everyone kissing each other, we don't do that.

02:57We, we spin the bottle and we sing a different song every night.

03:00So it started because I love doing covers.

03:02I started doing covers on YouTube when I was so young.

03:06From that point, I wanted to incorporate those in the show.

03:09And then it has also turned into this leg of the tour being like sort of, you know,

03:15half covers and half some of my songs that maybe aren't in the setlist every night that

03:19fans might be excited to hear.

03:21It's always so fun to see the reaction from the crowd.

03:24Recently, we've been getting to do a few songs from Man's Best Friend, which has been definitely

03:29a highlight of this tour for me, like combining those two worlds together.

03:34Honestly, if I could just be an ABBA cover band on this side, I probably would.

03:38That's not a secret to anybody.

03:40But we've done, we've done quite a few ABBA covers, but the most popular I would say on

03:45this tour is Mamma Mia.

03:46That was just like by far the most fun for everybody.

03:48We've done Lay All Your Love On Me.

03:50We did Nine To Five.

03:51That was really fun.

03:53We've done Kiss Me.

03:54We've done some really, really great songs.

03:56We did Super Freak in LA because obviously, and that was really fun too.

04:01So it's kind of just whatever I'm feeling will really get the crowd hyped and amped.

04:05So let's put her right there, the Queen.

04:10I can't even believe this happened.

04:12This is like one of my biggest childhood inspirations and musical influences, Christina Aguilera.

04:17She had asked me to be a part of her anniversary for a Spotify project that she was doing, and

04:23I got to sing What a Girl Wants with her, which was like a dream come true is a very big understatement.

04:29And then I don't even know how it happened.

04:32I think it was like along the way, it was just sort of like, it'd be so fun for us to do something

04:35again together live because that was like a pre-recorded situation and we just had the

04:41best time.

04:42So when I did my shows in LA, she was so incredibly gracious to be able to come out.

04:48And you just hear her rising from the stage with her like clear Christina Aguilera riff

04:54that she does, like the longest riff in the world.

04:57And it was, it gave me chills.

04:59It was, it was so fun.

05:00And the audience went berserk.

05:02It was just like a really special moment.

05:04That was also like really one of the first guests that I had on the whole tour.

05:08So us like singing in the heart pit together was, was so sweet.

05:11I mean, I, I grew up like beautiful was my audition song in every room I went into.

05:15And like, anytime someone asked me to sing, I was like beautiful.

05:18So that is a, that is my girl from the beginning.

05:21And that was a really special moment.

05:26This was such a highlight.

05:28I mean, these shows were in Hyde Park.

05:29These were some of the biggest headline shows I'd ever played so far this year.

05:34It was two nights in the park and it was 65,000 people.

05:39And I really wanted to do something special for the Brits because they've been so good to

05:44me since Espresso, they've just really taken me in like a, like a child of theirs.

05:50And I've really, really appreciated every moment I get to play there because I love London

05:53so much.

05:54It's one of my like ultimate destinations.

05:57And Duran Duran, I've been a fan of since I was a little girl.

06:00My mom put me onto them and I was just like, this would be crazy.

06:03There's no way they'd be available.

06:05And I was literally, my jaw literally hit the floor when they said that they would come

06:09out and we sang Hungry Like the Wolf.

06:11And it was so fun.

06:13I just will never forget these moments feel so special because it's also like maybe the

06:17last person that my fans would expect to be on stage with me and like the collab that

06:21no one ever expected either.

06:23And I think that those are always really, really fun.

06:25And then you'll always see like the parents in the crowd just being like, you know, like

06:30it's just a very funny moment for me as well.

06:32So it was very special.

06:34It's like two worlds colliding.

06:37Well, this was pretty iconic for me, earth, wind and fire.

06:41I could not believe that they were able to come out at this show.

06:46We did Lollapalooza in Chicago and it was a very special night.

06:50We were able to sing September and Let's Groove, which are two of my favorite ones.

06:54The hardest thing was picking a song, honestly, because Earth, Wind and Fire has just like

06:58been my playlist for my entire life.

07:01Every single song on repeat.

07:02And they were just so gracious and so excited.

07:05And I mean, their band is incredible.

07:07We had all the live horns and everyone on stage and it was just like the energy was unreal.

07:12So that was definitely one of the highlights of my entire life.

07:16And my parents were really jealous that they weren't there.

07:19So they missed that one.

07:21They were like, why didn't you tell us?

07:23I was like, I didn't I didn't know if it was going to happen.

07:25It did.

07:26It was really, really special.

07:27I don't know why I decided upon this, like everything's super close together vibe, but

07:32that's what we're doing.

07:33Well, this was ACL weekend two.

07:37And I was so excited to be able to do this with the chicks.

07:40The first song I ever heard by the chicks, I was like eight years old and it was Letter

07:45Rip, which I didn't tell them that when I met them.

07:48But from Letter Rip, I just became such a fan of all their music.

07:53And obviously their harmonies together were something that I was so excited about because

07:59they asked me if they could sing one of my songs with me as well as one of theirs, which

08:02I was really honored and suggested, please, because that song has so many harmonies that

08:07I love.

08:07And they are obviously just like the best in the game.

08:11So incredible, so professional and just pros.

08:15So we only got to run it a couple of times in soundcheck before we did it together.

08:20And wide open spaces, just one of the best songs.

08:22And the audience was freaking out.

08:26But I felt really, really lucky to be able to do that with them.
