The moment took place during the pop star’s ongoing ‘Short N’ Sweet’ tour dates, which are currently underway across the US. The ‘Espresso’ singer was performing at the Crypto.com Arena on Friday (November 15) when she surprised fans with special guest Aguilera.
Fans have since seized on an old post from Carpenter where she wrote that she was “right next to Christina” and that “10 year old sab is screaming” in 2018. Find that tweet and fan-shot footage of the duet below.
HOW IS SHE FEELING NOW ?? @TeamSabrina #LAShortnSweet

The pair performed her hits ‘Ain’t No Other Man’ and ‘What A Girl Wants’, which they had previously teamed up to do as part of the Spotify Anniversaries album ‘The 25th Anniversary of Christina Aguilera’.
Ahead of that performance, Carpenter recalled her mother playing her a video of Aguilera singing ‘A Sunday Kind of Love’ when she was only eight years old. “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.”
Elsewhere in the show, she “arrested” Bottoms actress Rachel Sennott. “Do you want to go to jail, but like, in a cute way?” asked Carpenter before ‘Juno’ started. “I’m getting really flustered because I’m picturing our future together,” she said, before handing her pink fuzzy handcuffs.

Similarly, Millie Bobby Brown attended one of Carpenter’s shows in October and was also playfully arrested. “Millie, I’ve never fallen in love at a concert before, but stranger things have happened,” the singer quipped. “It’s so unfortunate we have to arrest you because you’re so beautiful. That sucks.”
The Grammy-nominee also recently announced the UK and European leg of her tour, which will take place next year with former NME Cover star Rachel Chinouriri as a special guest.
The shows kick off at 3Arena in Dublin on March 3, with further shows in Birmingham, London and Manchester – see all dates below and grab tickets here.
