Sabrina Carpenter is extending her Short n’ Sweet era, and she’s bringing one of her biggest heroes along for the ride. On Tuesday (Feb. 4) — two days after winning her first-ever Grammys — the pop star announced that she’s dropping a deluxe edition of her breakthrough album featuring none other than Dolly Parton on a remix of “Please Please Please.”

Sharing photos of the deluxe album’s cover art and track list on Instagram, Carpenter wrote that she’s gifting the expanded edition — which arrives on Valentine’s Day — to fans “as a thank you for giving this album 2 Grammy’s :’)”

“short n’ sweet deluxe is now available for pre order,” she continued. “and yes that does say featuring Miss Dolly Parton…. 💋💋💋she wouldn’t want me to swear but holy s–t!!!!!”

In addition to “Please Please Please (feat. Dolly Parton),” Short n’ Sweet deluxe will feature bonus tracks “15 Minutes,” “Couldn’t Make It Any Harder,” “Busy Woman” and “Bad Reviews.” The original LP arrived in August and spent two weeks atop the Billboard 200, marking Carpenter’s first-ever No. 1 album.

Three of the singles on Short n’ Sweet made it to the Billboard Hot 100, including runaway hit “Espresso” and “Taste.” But only one reached No. 1 on the ranking — “Please Please Please,” which earned the Girl Meets World alum a Grammy nod for song of the year at the 2025 awards, which took place Sunday night (Feb. 2).

Carpenter lost out to Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” for SOTY, but “Espresso” did pick up best pop solo performance. The star also won best pop vocal album for Short n’ Sweet.

The “Feather” artist has previously cited the Queen of Country as an influence, with Carpenter naming Parton as one of her top-listened to musicians on Spotify in 2024 (in addition to ABBA, Kacey Musgraves, the Bee Gees and herself). Carpenter’s twangy sound on much of Short n’ Sweet — particularly on “Please Please Please” and “Slim Pickins'” — also earned her comparisons to the “9 to 5” singer, making their collaboration especially fitting.
