Sabrina Carpenter’s Rising Star and Swift’s Support
Swift dedicated a segment to Carpenter’s remarkable career trajectory following her opening act role on the Eras Tour in late 2023 and early 2024. “She was just on tour with us six months ago, but as then her career has skyrocketed,” Swift shared, praising Carpenter’s success following the release of her hit single, “Espresso.” “It’s the dream scenario for how you’d want your career to go as an artist.”
