Hear that? That’s Sabrina Carpenter clapping back at those who have doubted her live singing abilities. Earlier this week, the singer addressed accusations of lip-syncing on her Short N’ Sweet tour through a comment on TikTok, asserting, “I sing live every show 100% would you like to speak to my audio engineers.”
But Carpenter didn’t just stop there. On Thursday night, she appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and delivered a sultry, jazz-infused rendition of her song Espresso. The performance showcased her vocal talents and proved she’s the real deal.
At one point, the 25-year-old singer even climbed onto Fallon’s desk, offering an undeniably live and charismatic display that left no room for speculation about her singing chops. Watch below:
After her electric performance, the praise flooded in on social media, especially TikTok. One user enthusiastically commented, “Sabrina killed it with Espresso! Such a vibe!” capturing the sentiment of many fans impressed by her live vocals.
Other comments ranged from “A coffee lover’s dream” to “That voice is pure magic! Espresso vibes hit different when you perform like that.” A fan named Julie noted that Carpenter’s energy was “unmatched,” while another playful comment celebrated her hair: “now THIS is her real hair.”
The love kept coming in as fans praised her performance, with comments like “Never skip a Sabrina video,” “WHO IS THIS DIVA,” and even the fun nod to Carpenter’s style with, “My favorite Polly Pocket.”
Clearly, Carpenter’s soulful vocals and captivating stage presence struck a chord with viewers, shutting down any speculation about her live singing abilities and showing she can own any stage—whether it’s a massive tour venue or Fallon’s desk.
In a recent Time interview, Sabrina Carpenter shed some light on her songwriting process, explaining how she embraces a mix of confidence and vulnerability. She noted that she enjoys being unpredictable, expressing confidence one moment and emotional vulnerability the next, rather than adhering to a single “calculated” persona.
This nuanced approach reflects the playful, honest nature of her music. The performance, energy, and her candid approach to music and life seem to highlight that Sabrina Carpenter is truly “working late” and giving it her all on stage—live and unfiltered
