The singer is retiring from performing her favorite song, so here are the best suggestive clips she's delivered over 100+ shows.
2 years ago, Sabrina Carpenter was in Atlanta early in her career. Emails I can't send It was the start of the biggest tour of her career, and she was feeling especially generous and grateful that first night. Halfway through the show, she performed “Nonsense,” the addictive single from her fifth album—the song that had been the lead-in for her hit “Espresso.”
“I woke up this morning, and I thought I’d write a hit pop song/How fast can you get your clothes off? Pop test,” she sang, and it was supposed to be the end of the song. But Carpenter surprised the audience with a lyric just for them: “Come on over tonight/My room is so clean/I’m sorry this finale is so messy/Atlanta, it’s official/You’re the sexiest.”
It started out so simple, so silly. Carpenter kept up the trend every night of her 80-date tour. She then dedicated the finale to all 25 shows when she opened for Taylor Swift on her Eras tour. As the segment went on, the singer had to get creative to keep her fans on their toes — which meant the finale would become increasingly chaotic, unbalanced, and cheesy with innuendo. Since starting the trend, Carpenter has built an entire brand around being a short, voluptuous pop star with an endless well of sarcastic lyrics. She adapted “Nonsense” for her appearance on Saturday Night Live and Jimmy Kimmel Live In addition to her festival stops at Coachella, Governors Ball, and Outside Lands.
All of this closing writing has seeped into Carpenter's latest album. Short and sweetBut she stopped the bullshit on the album’s tour. The opening show in Columbus, Ohio, marked the end of an era when the singer didn’t end a song with something like, “I was so excited for this show that I couldn’t sleep/The girls here look flawless, you’re so dumb/He’s looking for my G-spot like Chris Columbus.” In honor of that erotic loss, here are the 10 best “Bullshit” endings that Carpenter made before retiring after more than 100 shows.

Coachella Weekend 2: Indio, CA, April 2024
All eyes were on it Carpenter was at Coachella this year for a number of reasons: Not only had she just been on Taylor Swift’s tour, she had just released “Espresso,” a song that was set to be a hit from the moment it was released. Plus, she was in a high-profile romance with actor Barry Keoghan, who had just had a big breakout at Coachella. salt burnWith Keoghan in the audience during the festival's second weekend, Carpenter made that day's “Nonsense” finale revolve entirely around him, a reference to one of his many horrific and erotic scenes in salt burn“He got his knees so weak, he had to straighten mine/ He drinks my bath water like it's red wine/ Coachella, see you back here when I'm headlining.” – Bachelor's.

Saturday Night LiveNew York, May 2024
The carpenter made sure First of all SNL The performance was absolutely unforgettable and she took the opportunity on stage to deliver one of her best finales yet, delivering line after line. SNL– Related pun. Dressed in a soft pink outfit, she stared directly into the camera and sang the famous line: “It's rock solid 'cause I said 'hello'/ My sense of humor is good but I'm not dry/ I just came to SNL for the first time.” –JL

Emails I can't send Tour: New York, May 2023
Just before Carpenter celebrated her 24th birthday with a sold-out crowd at Terminal 5 in New York City. She had performed nearly 50 shows in Emails I can't send Carpenter was singing on tour, and she was still finding new ways to keep the format fun. That night, she started with a typical rhyme pattern: “You’re so hot, but can you read lips?” Then came the change. Instead of mouthing the second line into the microphone, she silently said, “Tomorrow is my birthday, I want a dick, please.” Carpenter’s comedic timing kicked in a moment later, when she played the obscene line with a quick change of subject. “I said scream if you love New York City, that’s what I said,” she confirmed. “Scream!” —LP

Emails I can't send Tour: Los Angeles, October 2022
Carpenter album 2022 Emails I can't send Picks up her side of the infamous love triangle she was involved in a year ago. Fueled by Olivia Rodrigo's debut album sourCarpenter was “that blonde girl” that Rodrigo’s ex-boyfriend Joshua Bassett moved in with. Carpenter wasn’t afraid to name names, making it clear that at least one song on the album isn’t about Bassett or their controversial affair during their Los Angeles tour to support the album: “I got a personality but I got no tits / This song ain’t about Joshua Bassett / L.A., your energy is high.” —BS

Outer Lands: San Francisco, August 2024
Outer lands 2024 This was Carpenter’s first ever festival appearance—so needless to say, she had to make a show of it in front of a packed audience. At the end of “Nonsense,” a man in a white tuxedo knelt before the singer on stage and handed her a manuscript. She read from the paper, laughing as she got to the last two lines: “My heart beats beneath my chest, how wonderful/Outside land, as if you were inside me.” Carpenter can do that. Romeo and Juliet, But Shakespeare never came close to crafting such a perfect ending for “Nonsense.”LP

Salt Lake City, April 2023
Did they plan? Would the tour have allowed Carpenter to crack a dirty joke on April 1st in front of a room full of Mormons? If so, give the tour manager a raise. Tailoring her raunchy closing stanzas to fit the local culture isn’t hard when you’re playing in a den of depravity like Vagas or a party capital like Miami. But how do you change your tune when you’re touring Utah? Rather than shock her Salt Lake City fans, she improvised on their puritanical ways while keeping within PG boundaries: “Raise your hands if you live in Salt Lake / How you get alcohol on Sundays? / I’m pregnant… Happy April Fools’ Day.” Good performance. grandfather.

BBC1 Radio Live Lounge: UK, February 2024
Play on Words so astonishing that she had to do them twice: Carpenter couldn’t help but play up the BBC’s pornographic double entendre every time she did something for the venerable British broadcaster. The first time was in February when she appeared on the Live Lounge, cheekily referring to last “I’m American, not British / So BBC means something different / This live venue is so lit up because I’m in it,” she sang. Two months later, while performing at the BBC Festival, she explained that the company wanted her to clean it up. However, that’s not her style: “BBC said I should keep it PG / BBC I wish I had that in me / There’s a double meaning if you dig deep.” —BS

Grammy Museum: Los Angeles, CA November 2022
Performance in The Grammys are a special occasion for an artist who is making a career breakthrough, and Carpenter brought her best to this one, offering a bit of expectation-busting sarcasm while wisely avoiding the “not-safe-for-the-Grammys” content that’s always been a hallmark of her “Bullshit” finale: “I’m procrastinating, I don’t really plan it / Usually, I say something bad / But I’m keeping it classy for the Grammys.”grandfather.

Houston, Texas, March 2023
when i went Across Houston, Carpenter made sure to pay homage to one of the city’s heroes and her own idols: “I got to the end of the song, ‘How you doin’?/ I started to think love is an illusion/ Beyoncé is the greatest thing about Houston.” The respect was mutual; in an interview with GQ, Beyoncé shared that she was listening to Carpenter’s single “Please Please Please.” JL.
