Sabrina Carpenter Was Hit by a Firework During Her Latest Festival Performance
Performing on a festival stage in front of thousands of people and getting hit by a firework is by far one of the worst situations we'd want to find ourselves in, and yet, for Sabrina Carpenter, this is exactly what happened over the weekend.
While performing at the Outside Lands music festival in San Francisco, the 25-year-old singer's set was momentarily interrupted by a planned firework display, which sparked a little too aggressively and saw Sabrina hit by a few specks.
Sabrina ran away quickly to join her backup dancers, laughing at the technical mishap and saying, “Oh my god.”

Thankfully, Sabrina and the rest of her dancers and singers appeared to be left completely unharmed.
The celeb hasn't addressed the fireworks yet, but she *did* take to Instagram today (August 12) to celebrate headlining the festival. She shared a number of photos from the event, including one of her performance with Kacey Musgraves, whom she invited to sing with her on stage, much to the delight of fans (honestly, wish we could have teleported to San Francisco just to witness it 😭).
“Headlined @outsidelands:o thank you to everyone who came. special thank you to the angel that is @spaceykacey for coming out to sing and dance to Nancy Sinatra with me:’) and thank you to my whole team and crew. all the talented people who made this show happen on and off stage, i love you all so much,” she captioned the Instagram post.
FYI, the firework mishap didn't stop Sabrina from getting through her set, which was one of the last times she performed prior to embarking on her new ‘Short n Sweet’ tour for her album of the same name.
The new album will be released next week on August 23, and she'll then begin her tour in North America the following month, with the opening night being on September 23 at the Nationwide Arena in Ohio.
Sabrina's new album comes after the iconic success of her two most recent single releases—first “Espresso” in April of this year, which was quickly followed by “Please, Please, Please” in June. And, of course, we can't forget the music video to “Please, Please, Please,” which features Sabrina's boyfriend, Barry Keoghan.
Oh, to have a BAFTA-winning boyfriend who is just on call to star in your music videos!
