The night saw her perform a 21-song setlist with the majority of it stemming from her recently released sixth studio LP also titled ‘Short N’ Sweet‘.The singer opened the night with ‘Taste’ followed by the live debut of her tracks ‘Good Graces’, ‘Slim Pickins’, ‘Lie To Girls’ and ‘Bad Chem’.

Midway through the show, Carpenter performed her 2022 hit ‘Nonsense’. The live version of the track has become a fan favourite due to her custom outros for the song that is based on where she is performing.At the show, instead of performing an outro for the track, Carpenter began descending beneath the stage while faking a microphone mishap. “We apologize for the interruption of our program due to technical difficulties,” read a graphic that appeared on the stage’s screen.Sabrina Carpenter will not be doing “Nonsense” outros during her Short n’ Sweet tour:“We apologize for the interruption of our program due to technical difficulties.“ pic.twitter.com/FWmK8fsTxQ— Pop Crave (@PopCrave) September 24, 2024While Carpenter may have retired the ‘Nonsense’ outros, she has decided to treat her concert attendees to a cover song every night.
