Sabrina Carpenter ‘Arrests’ SZA at Los Angeles Show: ‘It’s Cuffing Season … SOS for Real’

It’s an SOS! Sabrina Carpenter “arrested” SZA at her Los Angeles show on Thursday night (Nov. 20). The New Jersey-bred singer pulled up to night four of six in L.A. on the final leg of the Short n’ Sweet Tour, and SC made SZA her Juno girl.

The Crypto.com Arena sirens went off and the crowd erupted when SZA appeared on the Jumbotron in a red corset top. “What’s your name, gorgeous?” Sabrina asked. “SZA, I got some competition, s—t.”

Carpenter had a laugh as the audience cheered loudly when SZA said she was from New Jersey. “They don’t always scream for their city, so I love that. OK, New Jersey,” she added.

With temperatures dropping, SC brought up that cuffing season was around the corner and referenced SZA’s 2022 album. “SZA, you know what they say — it’s cuffing season,” she said. “I’m getting flustered, oh s—t, SOS for real … This one’s for SZA, my Juno girl.”

Earlier this week, Carpenter threw the handcuffs on actresses Elle and Dakota Fanning and arrested the Hollywood sisters for committing the crime of being too attractive at Monday night’s (Nov. 16) show. “It’s like, one of you is cute, but two though? Damn,” SC said at the time.

The “Espresso” singer has arrested plenty of celebrities while on the road, including Drew Barrymore, Millie Bobby Brown, Gigi Hadid, Anne Hathaway and TWICE.

Sabrina’s Short n’ Sweet Tour is wrapping up after kicking off more than a year ago, with two final shows in Los Angeles on Saturday (Nov. 22) and Sunday (Nov. 23). Carpenter’s next performance is slated for the desert when she headlines Coachella 2026 in April.
