Gigi Hadid Becomes Sabrina Carpenter's Latest "Arrest" During Pittsburgh Show, Leaving Fans in Laughter

Pop sensation Sabrina Carpenter is earning buzz once again—not just for her catchy tracks or dynamic performances, but for a signature moment in her live shows: selecting a fan or celebrity to be mock-"arrested" before performing her hit 'Juno.' On 23rd October, while performing in Pittsburgh as part of her 'Short n' Sweet Tour,' Carpenter drew supermodel Gigi Hadid from the front row and said, "Gigi, I'm getting so hot and flustered." She then gave her pink fluffy handcuffs in a flirtatious and lighthearted interaction that pleased the crowd.

Sabrina Carpenter, a former Disney Channel star, has become one of the most intriguing pop music singers in recent years. She has established herself as a formidable force of infectious melodies and self-assured lyrics with her chart-topping singles, such as 'Espresso,' and 'Please Please Please.' This daring new age is encapsulated in the 'Short n' Sweet Tour,' which was started to promote her most recent album 'Man's Best Friend,' and combines storytelling, choreography, and interactive fan moments. 

Her now-famous "arrest" portion, in which she selects a fan from the audience (or occasionally a celebrity visitor) to be her "victim" before performing her hit-song 'Juno,' is one of the show's most notable elements. Playful yet strong, the bit is sassy, empowering, and unmistakably Sabrina. It also demonstrates how she makes her concerts intimate and surprising.

The Pittsburgh Moment: Gigi Hadid Under the Spotlight

At the Pittsburgh stop of the 'Short n' Sweet Tour,' the crowd went silent as Carpenter's "arrest" siren blared and she directed her attention to Hadid, who was spotted in the front row wearing an animal-print tank top, white tee and jeans. She teased, "Maybe we are soulmates! I'm becoming really hot and flustered, Gigi," after confirming that Hadid is from Bucks County, since Carpenter has Pennsylvania ancestry. The audience cheered as Carpenter threw Hadid her trademark handcuffs, saying, "This one is for Gigi, everybody."

Hadid accepted the moment, later sharing on Instagram that she was "guilty as charged." Notably, previous arrestees have included stars like Margaret Qualley and Millie Bobby Brown, so the ritual has proved to be a regular and much awaited aspect of her performances.

Following her thrilling performance in Pittsburgh, Sabrina Carpenter's 'Short n' Sweet Tour' continues to major cities across North America, including multiple nights at Madison Square Garden in New York, two shows in Nashville and Toronto, and its grand finale in Los Angeles. In between performances, Sabrina has been spotted off-stage too: exploring local food scenes, snapping candid selfies with fans, and sharing behind-the-scenes glimpses of her travel life.
