Clearly, Sabrina Carpenter's shows don't lack twists and turns. After Millie Bobby Brown “arrested” and handcuffed because she is too hot, or a “bottle game” more musical than oral, this time it was the American singer herself who was treated to her surprise, and not just any one: Christina Aguilera, in the flesh, on stage to share two songs with her. We see double.
In full tour after the release of his event album Short n’ Sweetthe 25-year-old singer opened a series of several dates in Los Angeles with an ultra-sold-out concert at the Crypto.com Arena, during which Christina Aguilera showed up in the middle of the concert to perform “Ain't No Other Man” and “ What a Girl Wants”, a 1999 classic, much to the surprise of Sabrina Carpenter who could not contain her surprise, before joining and accompanying the 43-year-old pop icon. Pure pop culture.
On stage, Sabrina Carpenter expressed her gratitude to the popstar, remembering the first time Christina Aguilera entered her life: “The first time I heard your voice was when my mother showed me a video of you singing 'A Sunday Kind of Love' when I was 8 years old. It was the most inspiring thing to see for a young girl who wanted to sing, but didn’t think she could at that time.”
In the past, the two artists had already appeared together as part of a “live anniversary” on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the album Christina Aguilerareleased in 1999. Together, they had already covered “What a Girl Wants”, one of the two songs performed on the Crypto.com Arena stage.
The day after the concert, on Instagram, the singer of the hit “Espresso” wanted to thank the queen of pop for this memorable surprise: “Thank you Christina Aguilera for coming last night, giving everyone (including me) the surprise of a lifetime, and for being one of the main reasons why I love and want to do pop music. I adore you to the highest degree!” It's beautiful.
