Pop singer-songwriter Sabrina Carpenter recently spoke about her excitement to open for Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour in Latin America. She called the opportunity a “dream come true.”
In an interview with Billboard, Carpenter said she’s looked up to Swift since childhood. Getting to watch her live show every night and learn from it will be incredible, she explained.
Carpenter described Swift as one of her main inspirations and said her songs served as a “how-to book” on surviving as a young woman. She admires Swift’s work ethic, talent and amazing abilities.
After being speechless when first told she would tour with Swift, Carpenter is eager to soak up the experience. She’ll get to perform her hits before crowds of thousands each night.
Carpenter joins Swift’s tour on the Latin America leg this fall. She’ll open shows in Brazil, Argentina and Mexico throughout November.
This caps a breakout year for the 23-year-old “Skin” singer. She recently finished her own headlining Emails I Can’t Send Tour across North America.
The massive Eras Tour opportunity aligns with Carpenter’s dreams of following in Swift’s footsteps one day. She tweeted as a kid about wanting her own world tour.
Along with touring, Carpenter stays busy with projects like her new perfume line and K-pop collaborations. She called the K-pop world fun and impressive.
Carpenter and Swift have developed a supportive friendship over recent years. Carpenter covered Swift’s songs on YouTube as a child.
She’s attended Swift’s concerts as a fan. They began interacting publicly in 2021 when Swift sent Carpenter a gift.
This mentoring dynamic comes full circle with Carpenter now joining Swift on the road. She called it the chance to watch a “masterclass” from her idol.
Carpenter promises to bring her signature high energy and powerful vocals to the Eras Tour. As an opener, she’ll aim to hype up crowds for Swift’s 2+ hour rock spectacle.
Her promotion to playing arena dates with the biggest pop star in the world showcases Carpenter’s meteoric rise.
Landing such a coveted supporting slot before age 25 underscores her growing mainstream success.
For Carpenter, the Eras Tour is a dream gig melding her lifelong fandom with budding stardom. She’ll draw on Swift’s catalog that soundtracked her youth.
During interviews, Carpenter thoughtfully acknowledges Swift’s influence in shaping her artistry. She models how to graciously recognize those who paved the way.
