From her rise to fame as a lead pop star during her Disney days, Sabrina Carpenter is one of the most sought-after stars in the music industry. Her commercial success has soared with her shift from a dance-folk-pop blend to her new partnership with Island Records. With all eyes now on her upcoming release, 'Short n’ Sweet', fans also have their attention on Carpenter’s headliner in Outside Lands. However, they are more excited about a small detail revealed from the setlist rather than her special guest in the feature.

Since its inception in 2008, the Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival has become one of the most eagerly awaited major concert events in Northern California. The 16th edition of this annual festival in Golden Gate Park begins on Friday with headlining performances by Sabrina Carpenter, The Killers, and Post Malone in San Francisco. Just hours before the event, Sabrina Daily Updates took to X to unveil the set list for Carpenter’s show, revealing the addition of a special guest for tonight’s performance.

It was not the special guest that captivated Carpenter’s fans, but rather the inclusion of her track ‘Paris’ in the setlist, which sparked widespread excitement online. This song, from her third studio album, 'Singular: Act I,' released in 2018, has been a fan favorite. ‘Paris’ is the album’s second track, co-written by Carpenter, Brett McLaughlin, and Jason Evigan, with Evigan handling the production and McLaughlin and Gian Stone overseeing the vocal production.

Although the album was released by Hollywood Records, for Carpenter’s fans, it is one of her standout tracks that has eclipsed the intrigue surrounding the special guest.

Sabrina Carpenter has become a fixture on people’s playlists, leading Spotify’s Songs of Summer Chart with 'Espresso', surpassing pop rivals Billie Eilish and Taylor Swift. Despite the leaked setlist for Outside Lands revealing a mysterious guest star, fans find it hard to focus on anything but Carpenter herself. Her setlist, which includes the track ‘Paris,’ holds more allure than the enigmatic guest set to appear.

With many fans willing to set aside their curiosity about the special guest, there is a unanimous focus on the track that is clearly making a strong return to playlists.

Although it might be worrisome that the surprise set to shock fans on stage might be overshadowed, the fans’ sole focus on Carpenter could mean the guest star risks losing some spotlight. Whether this impacts the set’s success remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: fans are placing their ultimate excitement on ‘Paris’ rather than on the guest star slated to shine alongside Carpenter.
