Country singer Sabrina Carpenter set for historic Grand Ole Opry debut during the venue's 100th anniversary celebration
Sabrina Carpenter is gearing up for a busy autumn, with a string of high-profile appearances on the horizon. On October 18, she will make her debut as host of Saturday Night Live, marking her first time in the role.
In addition to her SNL hosting duties, Carpenter will also be performing at the Grand Ole Opry's 100th-anniversary festivities. She will be joined by Laci Kaye Booth and Kameron Marlowe, and the legendary Steve Earle will kick off the celebrations on October 7th.
Carpenter's latest album, 'Short N' Sweet', has received critical acclaim, with NME giving it a four-star review. The deluxe edition of the album features a fresh country take of her hit single 'Please Please Please', which was recorded with none other than Dolly Parton.
The album 'Man's Best Friend' sticks to Carpenter's winning formula of pairing sticky melodies with pithy lyrics about the flaws and allure of inadequate males. This time around, there are a few more country-leaning cuts compared to its predecessor.
Carpenter is no stranger to the world of country music, as she has been experimenting with the genre for some time now. In fact, she is one of the headliners for next year's Coachella, along with Justin Bieber and Karol G. She is set to close out the Friday night of both weekends at the festival.
The second North American leg of Carpenter's 'Short n' Sweet' tour is scheduled for late October. Tickets for the tour can be found online.
Carpenter has also been a part of Saturday Night Live's history, previously serving as a musical guest during season 49. She was also part of the show's 50th anniversary celebrations in February.
The Grand Ole Opry, where Carpenter will make her debut on October 7, has seen career-defining performances from artists like Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline, Hank Williams, and Dolly Parton. Tickets for the Grand Ole Opry's 100th-anniversary festivities can be found online.
In a recent interview, Carpenter joked that her label "really didn't give a fuck" about her after learning there were only 200 copies of her debut album made for vinyl. Despite this, she has continued to make waves in the music industry and is poised for a bright future.
