Sharing a clip of the performance on Instagram, Carpenter added a sweet message for her friend. “9-year-old Sabrina singing the white horse would never have seen this s—- coming! I love you so much, Taylor. I always have the will,” she began.
“Thank you Sydney for making me so welcome!! See you tonight💌,” she signed ahead of opening her show for Swift in Sydney on Saturday.

Carpenter proved her claim of being a longtime Swiftie in the post as she also shared a screenshot of a social media post she wrote at age 9 in August 2009 about trying to meet Swift.
“I was trying to enter the Taylor Swift contest to win tickets and a chance to meet her, but they said I had to be 13 :(,” it read.
In the footage released, Carpenter sat next to Swift next to a piano decorated with flowers as the pair performed a medley of “White Horse” and “Coney Island” for excited fans at Accor Stadium. The video ended with the singers leaning on each other and smiling.

“This is an alternative mask for Ward Poet Ward,” she continued, as the crowd cheered. “And so this release is called ‘The Albatross’ because there’s an exclusive bonus track on this vinyl called ‘The Albatross,’ and I can’t wait for you to hear it.”
Swift then introduced Carpenter on stage. “My incredibly talented, wonderful, gorgeous, hilarious, genius opening act Sabrina Carpenter,” she continued. “She heroically sacrificed her show, which I think is a crime against Sydney. And I think that needs to be fixed, so I’m going to perform it myself now, is that okay, Sydney?”
The crowd roared their approval as Carpenter joined them. The performance was followed from the VIP tent by Swift’s boyfriend Travis Kelce, and fellow singers and guests Katy Perry and Rita Ora.
