This week saw a flurry of star-studded events. Sabrina Carpenter dazzled at the Outside Lands Music Festival in California, while Olympic champions Sha’Carri Richardson and Carmelo Anthony attended the men’s basketball gold medal match in Paris. In Missouri, Pink delivered another impressive performance as part of her 2024 Summer Carnival tour.
Sabrina Carpenter Shines at Music Festival
The vibrant singer made a splash with her debut headlining set at a festival, delivering a lively pop carnival featuring audience interactions, an unreleased song, pyrotechnics, and a surprise appearance by country star Kacey Musgraves. Amidst a busy rise to pop stardom and just two weeks before her album release, Carpenter showcased strong vocals and a charming sense of humor.
Though Carpenter’s pop style isn’t entirely new—her track “Espresso” felt reminiscent of Doja Cat’s “Say So”—it was well-received on Saturday. Her songs about complex relationships energized the crowd, and she smoothly shifted to more sensual, velvety tones. Between songs, she engaged in playful banter with the audience, even letting them choose between “Bay Area,” “Outside Lands,” and “San Francisco” as her preferred term for the event.
Pinks memorable Performance on Summer Carnival Tour
The Grammy-winning superstar behind “So What” has launched the 2024 North American leg of her record-breaking Summer Carnival Tour. The stadium tour kicked off on August 10 with a landmark 100th performance at The Dome at America’s Center in St. Louis, Missouri. The high-energy show featured elaborate choreography, costume changes, and aerial stunts, showcasing major hits like “So What,” “TRUST FALL,” “Just Give Me A Reason,” and “Raise Your Glass.” Special guests included Sheryl Crow, The Script, and KidCutUp.
The North American Summer Carnival 2024 dates continue the success of her tour, which began in June 2023 in Bolton, UK. The tour has set attendance records and attracted over 3.5 million fans.
