Every Look from 'Sabrinaween': Inside Sabrina Carpenter's Viral Madison Square Garden Costumes

An essential feature on Every Look from 'Sabrinaween': Inside Sabrina Carpenter's Viral Madison Square Garden Costumes, covering essential background.

Every night on the Short n' Sweet Tour, Carpenter pauses before performing her track "Juno" to single out someone in the crowd, lightheartedly "arresting" them with fuzzy pink handcuffs for being too attractive. MSG attendees anticipated a standard fan interaction or perhaps a quick wave to a celebrity seated in VIP risers. Instead, the singer staged an elaborate horror homage.

Midway through the set, a figure wrapped in the iconic flowing black cloak and elongated mask of Scream's Ghostface crept onto the catwalk. Carpenter feigned shock, confronted the intruder, and placed them in cuffs. When the masked figure peeled back the hood, the arena erupted: it was Drew Barrymore, paying direct tribute to her role as Casey Becker in Wes Craven's 1996 slasher classic.

The bit ran for several hilarious minutes as Barrymore hammed up the arrest, leaning into the meta-humor of horror cinema's most famous opening sequence. For pop culture obsessives, seeing Casey Becker finally get the upper hand on Ghostface, by literally taking off the mask on Carpenter's pink-carpeted stage, became the definitive viral moment of the evening.
