This month, Sabrina Carpenter said hello to Paul McCartney and goodbye to her Short n’ Sweet Tour.
In an Instagram post on Monday (Nov. 24) — one day after the pop star played her final show of the year-plus tour — the former Beatle shared a photo of himself and Carpenter in a backstage area at one of his concerts. In the snap, McCartney poses with an arm around the Gen Z star’s shoulders as she smiles at the camera.

In his caption, the Rock & Roll Hall of Famer called his meet-up with Carpenter one of the “highlights” of his ongoing Got Back Tour. “best show ever,” the Girl Meets World alum commented on the post, which she reshared onto her Story.
Also on her Story, Carpenter reflected on wrapping her own tour in support of the Billboard 200-topping albums Short n’ Sweet and Man’s Best Friend, with her final show going down at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on Sunday (Nov. 23). “short n sweet tour for life,” she wrote, posting a photo of herself posing beneath the stage.
Carpenter added, “sorry for crying during espresso.”
The two-time Grammy winner definitely has cause to feel emotional. The close of Short n’ Sweet comes after she spent more than a year on the road, originally kicking off the trek in September 2024. She’s since completed two North American legs, plus a run of shows in Europe.
Midway through the tour, she dropped Man’s Best Friend, which features Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 single “Manchild.” Along the way, she also made headlines numerous times for her series of “arrests” at shows, giving out fuzzy pink handcuffs to celebrity guests such as Millie Bobby Brown, SZA, Gigi Hadid, TWICE and, at the last show in L.A., Miss Piggy.
“You’re so funny, Miss Piggy, wow!” Carpenter said during the hilarious exchange with the Muppet. “You’re like the only celebrity I get nervous to be around. I’m getting really flustered … We’ve arrested so many beautiful individuals and I feel like tonight is your night.”
