Sabrina Carpenter Reflects on Living in Toronto, Covers Shania Twain At Her Scotiabank Arena Concert

The "Espresso" singer played a sold-out Scotiabank Arena last night (September 25) as part of her Short N' Sweet Tour, donned a Toronto Maple Leafs jersey, and talked about a brief stint living in the city as well as early shows at much smaller venues including The Mod Club (now Axis Club).

Sabrina Carpenter shared a sweet memory during her Toronto concert last night.

The American pop star brought her Short N' Sweet Tour to the Scotiabank Arena for its third stop. She played a sold-out show highlighting her album of the same name, which has spent the last four weeks at No. 1 on Billboard's Canadian Albums chart.


She took some time during the show to reminisce on previous memories of the city, telling the screaming crowd that she lived in Toronto for a few months a couple of years ago. She loved going to thrift shops and local chain Jimmy's Coffee, she recalled. "I felt like a local — I wasn't," she said. "Ever since I've come back to Toronto," she continued, "you guys have welcomed me."

Carpenter also turned back the clock even further to her first-ever Toronto show. She recalled playing at the Mod Club (now re-named the Axis Club) when she was a young teenager, 15 or 16. "There was like 4 of you there, and you're here tonight," she joked. "It's been such a wild journey, and whenever you joined me, whether it was at Mod Club or whether it was along the way or whether it’s tonight and this is your first time going to one of my shows, I'm so, so happy that you're here."

Carpenter also broke out a Toronto Maple Leafs jersey while performing her hit "Espresso," gifted to her by Maple Leafs Sports & Entertainment. And she covered Canadian icon Shania Twain with a performance of "That Don't Impress Me Much."

The pop star also gave an update on her re-recorded debut album.

After six long years and four album re-records, Taylor Swift has finally won back control of her masters. But what does that mean for the long-awaited, highly anticipated Reputation (Taylor’s Version)?

In a letter on her website announcing that she’d finally been able to purchase back the rights to her first six albums from Shamrock Capital Friday (May 30), the pop star addressed just that. “I know, I know. What about Rep TV?” Swift began in her note.
