AceShowbiz - Los Angeles witnessed an unforgettable performance on Friday night, November 15 when Sabrina Carpenter surprised fans by bringing out Christina Aguilera for a dazzling duet. The two pop icons set the Crypto.com Arena on fire with renditions of "Ain't No Other Man" and "What a Girl Wants."
The memorable moment took place during Carpenter's ongoing Short N' Sweet tour, which swept through the US and landed at the Crypto.com Arena recently. This event marked a significant milestone for Carpenter, who has been a lifelong fan of Aguilera.
Back in September, the duo had first teamed up during Aguilera's 25th-anniversary celebration of her debut album at Los Angeles' Spotify Studios to perform "What a Girl Wants." The performance was so impactful that they decided to revisit it on a larger stage.
Fans were already on the edge of their seats when Carpenter, engaging in a playful round of Spin the Bottle with her backup dancers, gleefully announced the winner as "a little Christina." In an electrifying surprise, Aguilera emerged from beneath the stage, donning knee-high sparkly boots that matched Carpenter's aura. Starting with "Ain't No Other Man," the two singers, accompanied by a cadre of dancers, belted out the tracks to a mesmerized audience.
The energy shifted for the next part of the show as the two stars sat down at the end of the catwalk for a heartfelt and scaled-back rendition of "What a Girl Wants." This moment mirrored their previous performance and was infused with an emotional depth, thanks in part to Carpenter sharing a touching memory with the audience.
"I think the first time I ever heard your voice," Carpenter confessed to Aguilera, "was [when] my mom played me a video of you singing at eight years old, 'A Sunday Kind of Love.' " The heartfelt admission highlighted how influential Aguilera's music had been in shaping Carpenter's career.
Carpenter's tour has been gaining massive traction, and with the recent announcement of the UK and European leg, fans across the globe are equally thrilled.
