Sabrina Carpenter surprised fans at her recent “Short n’ Sweet” tour stop in New York City when she brought out actress Drew Barrymore who walked on stage dressed as Ghostface, a nod to her iconic role in the original Scream movie.
The moment was part of Carpenter’s ongoing tour gag where she humorously “arrests” a celebrity guest near the end of the show. In this case, she handed Barrymore a pair of fluffy pink handcuffs and jokingly accused her of “being too hot,” sending fans into loud cheers and laughter.
Barrymore, still in the mask when she first appeared, removed it once she reached Carpenter. The pop star reacted with excitement, saying, “I’m sweating. You’re just my type.” The playful exchange quickly became one of the night’s most shared clips across social media.
