Today, two-time Grammy-Award-winning global superstar Sabrina Carpenter releases the deluxe version of her chart-topping album, “Short n’ Sweet” – listen here.
“Short n’ Sweet (Deluxe)” features five additional songs, including a duet with global icon Dolly Parton on “Please Please Please”; and “Busy Woman,” which Sabrina debuted live on her sold-out headlining arena tour. Alongside the deluxe, Sabrina released a video with Dolly for “Please Please Please.” The video was shot in Nashville and co-directed by Sabrina and Sean Price Williams – watch here.
Originally released last August, “Short n’ Sweet” topped the charts worldwide and had one of the biggest global debuts of 2024. Upon release, “Short n’ Sweet” skyrocketed to the top for three consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, becoming only the second album in 2024 to spend its first three weeks atop the list. The album’s opening track, “Taste,” captured No. 1 on Spotify’s U.S. chart, dethroning Sabrina’s own “Please Please Please” and making it the third song off her album to hit No. 1.
The album earned Sabrina six Grammy nods as a first time Grammy nominee. Sabrina took home the coveted Best Pop Vocal Album award for “Short n’ Sweet,” along with Best Pop Solo Performance for the album’s lead single, “Espresso.” She also made her debut on the Grammys stage with a medley of “Espresso/Please Please Please” to which Harper’s Bazaar said, “if Carpenter was already a rising pop princess before tonight, then her Grammys debut has cemented her status as pop royalty.”
Earlier this week, The BRIT Awards announced Sabrina will join the lineup as both a performer and honoree. In addition to being nominated twice for international artist of the year and international song of the year for “Espresso,” she will receive the Global Success, becoming the first international artist to receive it.
Next month, Sabrina also kicks off the sold-out European leg of her highly acclaimed “Short n’ Sweet Tour” in Dublin, and will hit arenas across Europe and the U.K. including London, Paris, Amsterdam and Berlin. Due to demand, additional shows were added in Zurich, Oslo, Copenhagen and Stockholm. This run follows the incredibly successful 33-date sold-out North American leg that wrapped last November with a three-night run in Los Angeles.
Sabrina will return to “Saturday Night Live” this weekend to make a guest appearance for the 50th anniversary special. She made her debut as the musical guest on the season finale of “Saturday Night Live” last May. Sabrina also just graced the cover of Vogue U.S. for the first time – see the cover/read the feature here.
