Sabrina Carpenter is adding another career milestone to her already impressive résumé, a debut performance at the legendary Grand Ole Opry.
The 25-year-old singer-songwriter will take to the famous Nashville stage on October 7, joining the Grand Ole Opry’s ongoing 100th-anniversary celebrations. The performance marks the first time Carpenter has appeared at the iconic venue, long considered the heart of country music.
Known for launching and celebrating the careers of legends like Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline, Hank Williams, and Dolly Parton, the Opry’s stage has been a defining moment for many artists. Carpenter’s appearance represents a major step for the Espresso and Please Please Please hitmaker, who has been gradually infusing country influences into her pop sound.
Her connection to country music deepened earlier this year when she collaborated with Dolly Parton on a country-infused reimagining of Please Please Please for the deluxe edition of her latest album Short N’ Sweet. The remix was praised by critics and fans alike for blending Carpenter’s playful pop sensibilities with Parton’s iconic country twang.
The Grand Ole Opry’s official statement about its centennial celebrations teased “bigger shows, bolder moments, huge stars and surprise guests,” and Carpenter’s debut is set to be one of the highlights of the anniversary season.
Fans have already taken to social media to share their excitement, with many calling the performance “a full-circle moment” for Carpenter, who grew up in Pennsylvania listening to a mix of country, pop, and soul.

Carpenter has been riding a wave of success over the last 18 months. Her album Short N’ Sweet has been a streaming hit, with multiple singles charting globally. She’s also been a fixture on festival stages, from Coachella to Glastonbury, and recently wrapped a North American arena tour that sold out in record time.
Making her Opry debut is likely to introduce her music to an even broader audience, solidifying her crossover appeal. With the performance falling right in the middle of the Opry’s 100th birthday celebrations, fans can expect a show filled with surprises and perhaps even a special appearance from Dolly herself.
Tickets for Sabrina Carpenter’s Opry debut are available via the Grand Ole Opry’s official website, but fans are advised to act quickly as the anniversary events have been selling out rapidly.
Carpenter’s appearance marks yet another reminder of her versatility as an artist, seamlessly moving between pop, R&B, and now country, proving she’s one of the most exciting performers of her generation.
