Pop star Sabrina Carpenter created an unforgettable moment during her Short N’ Sweet tour stop in New York when she realised that Hollywood icon Anne Hathaway was in the audience.

Midway through her set, Carpenter spotted Hathaway among the crowd. Taking to the microphone, she asked, “What’s your name? Sorry, never heard of you like that.”

Moments later, she added with a grin, “You’re Anne! Wow!” The crowd roared with laughter as Carpenter continued, “Has anyone ever told you that you look like a princess?” — a nod to Hathaway’s celebrated role in The Princess Diaries.

The light-hearted banter escalated when Carpenter produced a pair of toy handcuffs and teased, “Did they arrest you for being the first princess in the world?” Hathaway played along, smiling as Carpenter gently “arrested” her for “offences related to royal blood.” Fans erupted in cheers, their phones capturing every second of the impromptu skit.

Within minutes, clips of the playful moment circulated across TikTok, Instagram, and X, drawing widespread amusement.

After the laughter subsided, Carpenter transitioned effortlessly into her next song, “Juno,” proving her professionalism and charisma in equal measure.
