Sabrina Carpenter has promised her “most ambitious show” yet for Coachella.
The 26-year-old pop megastar will headline the iconic festival’s Friday night shows on April 10 and 17, and she spent seven months planning the production.
Speaking to fashion mogul Marc Jacobs for Perfect, she teased: “It’s the most ambitious show I’ve ever done.”
It’s been the longest lead-up she’s had to a concert, and it’s given her more time than ever to focus on building a “special” gig.
She added: “So it’s been a long journey. It will be very special.”
This weekend will mark Sabrina’s first time headlining Coachella, but she is no stranger to the event as a while.
Back in 2024, she made her debut at the festival on a day that holds special significance.
She recalled: “That was a really special day for me, the day my song Espresso came out.”
The song was a huge success as it hit number three in the Billboard Hot 100, followed by Please Please Please as her first chart topper.
Her album Short n’ Sweet was number one on the Billboard 200, while last year’s follow-up Man’s Best Friend debuted in the same top spot.
Sabrina admitted seeing the way her career has gone since Coachella 2024 is “surreal”, and she wants to “celebrate all the songs” she’s released since then.
She added: “And now, two years later, we’re back. And I think that’s what makes this show feel really, really surreal:
“Getting to celebrate all the songs that have come after it, and just how many lives they’ve lived since they’ve come out.”
There are more songs to come, after Sabrina admitted last year that she was still writing despite releasing back-to-back albums.
She told Vogue Italia: “I’m writing a lot in my diary right now, which you probably wouldn’t expect after two albums in two years.”
Elsewhere at Coachella, Justin Bieber will appear as a headliner for the first time, alongside Sabrina and Colombian superstar Karol G.
