Christina Aguilera and Sabrina Carpenter are a dynamic duo!
The five-time Grammy winner, 43, made a surprise appearance at Carpenter’s concert in Los Angeles at the Crypto.com Arena on Friday, November 15, dueting several of her hit songs – months after the pair sang together to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Aguilera’s debut album.
Aguilera took the stage in a black corset and shorts with sparkly knee-high boots to perform “Ain’t No Other Man” first.

The pair also sang a slower rendition of “What a Girl Wants” on stage together, before Carpenter told the crowd: “Los Angeles, do you mind if we slow down for a second?”
“Do you mind if I sing one of my favorite songs in the world with one of my biggest idols, Christina Aguilera?” she continued, as the crowd cheered their approval.
Videos shared on X (formerly known as Twitter) showed the performance, which saw the pair sitting side by side on stage as they lip-synced together.
Aguilera and Carpenter were seen sharing a big hug after the performance, with the “Fighter” singer telling the “Espressa” musician, “I love you so much.”

Aguilera and Carpenter’s performance of “What a Girl Wants” was similar to the one they performed together for Aguilera’s celebration of her debut album with Spotify in September.
At the time, a proud Aguilera could be seen watching Carpenter open the song, before taking on the second verse.
