Pop sensation Sabrina Carpenter wrapped up her electrifying set at the Austin City Limits Music Festival without delivering her signature Nonsense outro — a twist that left fans both surprised and amused.
The 26-year-old star lit up Zilker Park on Saturday night, dazzling the Texas crowd with a high-energy performance featuring glittering cowgirl boots, Lone Star flair, and even a surprise guest appearance from country legend Shania Twain. Despite the missing outro, Carpenter’s show was hailed as one of the standout moments of the festival’s first weekend.
Soon after her performance, Sabrina Carpenter took to Instagram Stories to share a serene sunset photo captioned, “See you soon Austin,” paired with a white heart emoji — a sweet farewell that softened the blow for fans awaiting her playful lyrical send-off.
For those unfamiliar, Carpenter’s Nonsense outros have become a viral hallmark of her concerts, featuring cheeky, location-based punchlines that often trend across social media. Fans eagerly anticipated a Texas-themed version filled with clever Austin references — but instead, she closed the track with its original lyrics, leaving the crowd chanting for more.
Even without the viral moment, Sabrina Carpenter delivered a festival-ready spectacle filled with fan favorites like Espresso and Please Please Please, further cementing her reputation as one of pop’s most dynamic performers. Sharing the stage lineup with The Killers, T-Pain, and John Summit, the pop princess proved that even without a Nonsense outro, her star power remains unstoppable.
