Singers perform “Ain’t No Other Man” and “What a Girl Wants” together at Crypto.com Arena show
Back in September, Christina Aguilera tapped Sabrina Carpenter to perform “What a Girl Wants” together at a 25th anniversary celebration of her debut album. On Friday, Carpenter revisited the moment on a bigger stage by bringing out Aguilera to perform the hit single, as well as “Ain’t No Other Man,” at her concert at Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena.
While playing a round of Spin the Bottle with her backup dancers, Carpenter announced the winner as “a little Christina,” at which point Aguilera emerged from a platform under the stage. She then launched immediately into “Ain’t No Other Man” accompanied by Carpenter and the dancers.
After that, the two singers sat down at the end of the catwalk and delivered a scaled-back rendition of “What a Girl Wants” that echoed the version the pair performed at Aguilera’s all-star 25th celebration of her 1999 self-titled debut album, a performance that was filmed at Los Angeles’ Spotify Studios.

“I’m freaking out,” Carpenter admitted at the time as she sat down with Aguilera on the stage, where she shared memories of Aguilera’s music before their joint performance. “I think the first time I ever heard your voice was [when] my mom played me a video of you singing at eight years old, ‘A Sunday Kind of Love,’” Carpenter recalled. “That was the most inspiring thing for me ever to see as a young girl that wanted to sing, but just didn’t think I could do it at that age.”
Also during the Los Angeles concert Friday, Carpenter “arrested” attendee and actress Rachel Sennott during the song “Juno,” similar to the stunt she pulled with Millie Bobby Brown during an Atlanta concert in October:
