Sabrina Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet Tour wrapped up its U.S. leg with an unexpected twist during her final performance on November 18 at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles. The pop star, known for her energetic shows and engaging audience interactions, surprised fans by “arresting” Hollywood power couple Margaret Qualley and Jack Antonoff on stage. The married couple, who tied the knot in the summer of 2023, walked into the venue together ahead of the concert, making a quiet entrance before their unexpected on-stage moment with Sabrina.

A Tradition with a Twist

Before performing her hit song “Juno” at each stop on her tour, Sabrina has developed a fun tradition of “arresting” someone in the audience for being “too hot.” While the “arrest” typically involves a fan, the pop star has invited a few celebrities to join in on the playful bit. Previous guests have included Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown, comedian Rachel Sennott, and Saturday Night Live cast member Marcello Hernandez, who performed the stunt as his beloved character Domingo.
