Sabrina Carpenter has unveiled her highly anticipated new album, Short n’ Sweet, now available via Island Records. This album is a testament to Carpenter’s showstopping vocals and sharp songwriting skills, solidifying its place as one of the most awaited releases of 2024. With Short n’ Sweet, Carpenter brings a fitting close to a landmark year, crafting a collection that feels both intimately personal and universally relatable.

The album boasts 12 tracks co-written with a powerhouse team including Amy Allen, Julia Michaels, and Steph Jones, alongside the production talents of John Ryan, Julian Bunetta, and Jack Antonoff. The result is a richly diverse yet remarkably cohesive body of work, showcasing Carpenter’s evolution as both a singer and a songwriter.

Short n’ Sweet is already making waves with two major hits propelling its success. Carpenter made history by becoming the first female artist to top the Billboard Global 200 and Global Ex-US charts simultaneously with two different songs: the infectious “Espresso” and the heartfelt “Please Please Please.” The latter, produced by Jack Antonoff and Amy Allen, also became Carpenter’s first #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Notably, “Espresso” dominated Top 40 radio for three consecutive weeks and quickly amassed 1 billion streams on Spotify, becoming the third fastest song to reach that milestone. Critics from Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, and The New York Times all touted “Espresso” as a strong contender for the song of the summer, with the track scaling to the top of Spotify’s Global, US, and UK charts.

In the UK, Carpenter joined the ranks of artists like Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, and Ed Sheeran by simultaneously holding the #1 and #2 spots on the UK chart for five consecutive weeks. She’s also spent a total of 12 weeks at #1 on the UK Singles Chart this year. Adding to her cultural impact, Carpenter starred in an official 2024 NBC Olympics commercial, further cementing her status as a pop culture icon.

Carpenter’s momentum continues as she prepares for the North American leg of her Short n’ Sweet Tour, starting on September 23rd in Columbus. The 33-date arena tour sold out rapidly and will include stops in major cities like New York, Los Angeles, Nashville, Toronto, and Austin. Supporting acts Amaarae, Griff, and Declan McKenna will join her on this journey. Carpenter has also partnered with PLUS1 to launch the Sabrina Carpenter Fund, dedicated to supporting mental health, animal welfare, and the LGBTQ+ community.
