AceShowbiz - Christina Aguilera and Sabrina Carpenter have forged a close bond over the past few months. Aguilera, who attended the grand opening of H&M's flagship store in Times Square, spoke highly of Carpenter's talent and work ethic. "I have so much respect and love for what it takes to uphold the schedule and the touring demands that pop star life comes with," Aguilera said.

Aguilera joined Carpenter on stage at a recent tour stop in Los Angeles to perform "Ain't No Other Man" and "What a Girl Wants." Aguilera praised Carpenter's poise and stamina, noting that they share an effortless connection. "Her poise and composed stamina is always a pleasure to work with, and we always have so much fun together. It's an easy connection," Aguilera said.

Carpenter has also expressed her admiration for Aguilera, calling her "one of my biggest idols" when she welcomed her to the stage in Los Angeles. The bond between the two singers extends beyond their shared passion for pop music. Carpenter recalled being inspired by Aguilera's performance of "A Sunday Kind of Love" at the age of eight. "That was the most inspiring thing for me ever to see as a young girl that wanted to sing, but just didn't think I could do it at that age," Carpenter said.

Aguilera also penned a heartfelt piece celebrating Carpenter's inclusion in the TIME100 Next List. She praised Carpenter's maturity and focus, stating, "Sabrina is where she is for a reason and ahead of her years." The two singers first collaborated in September on a Spotify performance of "What a Girl Wants" as part of the 25th anniversary celebration of Aguilera's debut album.
