Millie Bobby Brown has revealed that it was her idea for Sabrina Carpenter to ‘arrest’ her during one of the singer’s ‘Short n’ Sweet’ tour dates last year.

The Stranger Things star attended Carpenter’s show in Atlanta last October, with the pair engaging in a lighthearted interaction mid-performance – much to the excitement of those in the crowd.
Brown appeared on the big screens for the segment, which saw the pop star fake an arrest of a fan “for being too hot” each night. “It’s so unfortunate we have to arrest you because you’re so beautiful,” Carpenter told the actor. “That sucks.”
From there, Brown pleaded with the singer to arrest her, before proudly holding up the fluffy pink handcuffs to the camera. The moment subsequently went viral on social media (watch below).
Now, in a new interview with Vanity Fair, Brown has said she had reached out to Carpenter via text message ahead of the show. “Can you arrest me?” she asked, to which the star obliged: “I would love to arrest you.”
The outlet also notes that Carpenter has since staged the arrests of her producer Jack Antonoff and his wife, The Substance actor Margaret Qualley, and Saturday Night Live comedian Marcello Hernández as his SNL character Domingo.
