Sabrina Carpenter brought her pop star power to Austin City Limits 2025, closing out the festival’s second night with an energetic headlining set. The 26-year-old singer-songwriter delivered a dazzling performance that pulled heavily from her Grammy-winning 2024 album Short n’ Sweet, mixing fan favorites, chart-toppers, and a few surprises that left the crowd buzzing long after the final note.
Performing on the American Express Stage at Zilker Park, Carpenter opened with the empowering “Busy Woman,” immediately setting the tone for a confident, high-energy night. She followed with her breakout hit “Taste” and the glittery “Good Graces,” before shifting into the sultry groove of “Slim Pickins” and the playful “Manchild.”

Midway through the set, Carpenter delivered one of the most memorable ACL moments. To roaring applause, country icon Shania Twain joined her onstage for a duet of Twain’s 1997 classic “That Don’t Impress Me Much.” The collaboration sent the crowd into a frenzy.
After the surprise, Carpenter moved seamlessly through her recent catalog, performing “Because I Liked a Boy,” “Feather,” and “Bed Chem,” before closing the night with her global smash “Espresso.”
