Here’s everything you need to know about her show in Milan: the tour details, the setlist, and venue-specific requirements.
Background
Sabrina Annlynn Carpenter was born on May 11, 1999, in Pennsylvania, a small town that shaped her early years before her rise to fame. Carpenter displayed a natural flair for performing arts, singing, and acting from an early age. Her journey began when she started posting videos of herself singing on YouTube. She caught the attention of industry insiders, and at 12, she was already participating in singing competitions and short plays. In one of these events, she came third in a singing competition hosted by Fizzy Miley Cyrus. This was the beginning of her future stardom. Carpenter later signed with Hollywood Records in 2014, and her music career kicked off.
Her breakthrough came with her role in the Disney Channel series “Girl Meets World” (2014–2017), a spin-off of the beloved “Boy Meets World.” She played the role of Maya Hart, a rebellious yet endearing best friend of Riley Matthews. Carpenter won over audiences with her charisma and acting chops. She has also starred in films like “The Hate U Give” and “Work It”, as well as a Broadway stint in “Mean Girls” in 2020.
The “Espresso” singer launched her music career by releasing her debut EP in 2014, “Can’t Blame a Girl for Trying.” In 2015, she released her first full-length album, “Eyes Wide Open.” Carpenter has released six studio albums: “Evolution,” “Singular: Act I,” “Singular: Act II,” “Emails I Can’t Send,” and her latest, “Short n’ Sweet,” released in 2024. With her 2024 singles “Espresso” and “Please Please Please,” the American singer has cemented herself as a global pop sensation. Now, at 25, Carpenter is at the peak of her career, with a devoted fanbase and critical acclaim; she is bringing her “Short n’ Sweet Tour” to cities worldwide.
“Short n’ Sweet” album
“Short n’ Sweet” is Sabrina’s sixth studio album, which was released on August 23, 2024. The album is the centrepiece of her current tour; it comprises 12 tracks, showcasing her evolution from a Disney starlet to a confident pop artist. The album debuted at no. 1, spending three weeks at the top, showcasing Carpenter’s widespread appeal. The deluxe version was released later that year, featuring bonus tracks like “Busy Woman” and “Needless to Say.”
“Short n’ Sweet” is both nostalgic and fresh; it is a departure from her earlier works, leaning heavily on influences from disco, R&B, and synth-driven sounds. The album’s lead single, “Espresso,” is a global hit, peaking at no. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and earning triple-platinum status. She explored love, heartbreak, and self-discovery themes with witty lyrics and catchy hooks. Other singles like “Please Please Please” soared to no. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, and her third single, “Taste,” peaked at no. 2, while “Bed Chem,” a steamy fan favourite, hit no. 14. The album has received numerous praise from critics for its seamless transition, thus creating a smooth listening experience, a testament to Carpenter’s artistic growth.
The album was the third-largest album of 2024, selling 362,000 units in its first week in the US. It was behind Swift’s “The Tortured Poets Department” with 2.61 million units and Beyoncé’s 402,000 units from her country sound “Cowboy Carter.” At the 67th Grammy Awards, Carpenter earned six nominations and won “Best Pop Vocal Album” for “Short n’ Sweet,” and the album’s lead single, “Espresso,” took “Best Pop Solo Performance.”
“Short n’ Sweet Tour”
Carpenter’s first headlining arena tour, “Short n’ Sweet Tour,” kicked off on September 23, 2024, in Columbus, Ohio. This tour is a victory lap for her breakout year after she opened for Taylor Swift numerous times during her “Eras Tour.” The tour has seen the American pop star perform in sold-out arenas like Madison Square Garden in New York City, Canada’s Bell Centre, and several major cities in the United States. Due to the overwhelming ticket demand, she had to include additional dates like Milan. Amaarae, Griff, and Declan McKenna have joined her on selected stops, opening shows for her. Watching these artists warm the stage to welcome the red lipstick goddess has been a thrill.
The tour has had numerous unforgettable moments, with elaborate staging, choreography, and Carpenter’s engaging stage presence; the shows have been memorable. Her first show in Columbus set the tone with a 21-song setlist and a “Spin the Bottle” segment where she covered a song, “Mamma Mia” by ABBA. The production, from the bedroom-themed “Bed Chem” performance to the high-energy encore, “Espresso,” praises Carpenter.
The European leg of the tour began with two shows on March 3 in Dublin’s 3Arena. She has played in London, Birmingham, and Glasgow and is currently performing at the Co-op Live arena in Manchester. The Carpenter will perform in Paris and Berlin, working her way to the metropolitan city of Milan. Sabrina’s music career is growing, and her international reach is expanding with each ticket sold.
Sabrina Carpenter in Milan
Milan is known for its fashion and culture and is a fitting stop for Carpenter’s chic, vibrant tour. The last time she performed in Milan was in 2017 when she headlined her “Evolution Tour.” Carpenter will perform on March 26, 2025, at the Unipol Forum, also known as Mediolanum Forum. With a capacity of 12,700, this premier venue has hosted global stars like Madonna, Coldplay, and Billie Eilish. Its modern design and acoustics are excellent. The venue is accessible, making it an ideal location for Carpenter’s arena debut in Italy.
The Milan date was added due to overwhelming demand for Sabrina Carpenter tickets following her North American sellouts, reflecting her skyrocketing popularity after hits like “Espresso” and “Please Please Please” were released. The concert will occur in Assago, a suburb just southwest of Milan’s city centre. Fans can expect less pre-show bustle due to the venue’s suburban location, but its accessibility keeps it convenient. However, fans will likely gather early near the venue or in central Milan spots like the Piazza Duomo in Carpenter-inspired outfits like mini-skirts and heart-shaped sunglasses.
Based on some of her tour visuals during her North American leg, the show’s setup will likely include a centre stage with a runway. This will allow her to connect with fans across the floor and upper tiers. The venue has multiple entry points, ample restrooms, and food and drink concessions, although they can only be purchased via card (Visa, Mastercard, etc. are acceptable), so plan accordingly. The versatility at the Unipol Forum will allow Carpenter to unleash her production creativity, think dazzling lights, costume changes, and interactive moments like the “Spin the Bottle” cover selection. In addition, wheelchair seating and assisted entry options are available at the venue; however, attendees looking to use these accessibility options should contact the venue in advance for arrangements.
