Fans at Sabrina Carpenter‘s final Short n’ Sweet tour stop at Los Angeles’ Kia Forum were treated to a special preview of the singer’s upcoming Netflix special, A Nonsense Christmas, on Monday night.
The trailer revealed a list of guests including duets with Chappell Roan, Tyla, Shania Twain, and Kali Uchis. Quinta Brunson, Cara Delevingne, Nico Hiraga, Kyle Mooney, Megan Stalter, Sean Astin, Owen Thiele, and Jillian Bell will also feature in the upcoming special. In perfect Sabrina fashion, the clip promised spectacular, campy sets and in one scene, teased costumes “For the Gays” and “For the Girls.”
Carpenter’s Nonsense Christmas is set to premiere on Netflix on Dec. 6, and is named after her song of the same name. (She released a holiday EP, Fruitcake, last year.) “The holidays have always been so special to me,” she said while announcing the special in September. “I am excited to bring my take to a classic holiday variety show — infusing my love of music and comedy to make something that is uniquely me.”
Carpenter’s six-track EP Fruitcake features five original holiday songs, including “Buy Me Presents,” disco-tinged “Is It New Years Yet?” and “Cindy Lou Who.” “A Nonsense Christmas” is a holiday play on her Emails I Can’t Send hit “Nonsense,” which she released last year.
Fans who attended her Short n’ Sweet tour dates in Los Angeles were treated to a special surprise each night. On Friday, she welcomed Christina Aguilera onstage for a duet of “What a Girl Wants” and “Ain’t No Other Man,” and on Sunday, she “handcuffed” Saturday Night Live‘s Marcello Hernández character Domingo during “Juno.”
Monday night marked the end of the United States leg of her Short n’ Sweet tour run. She’ll head to Europe next March, with performances scheduled in London, Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam, and Milan. (Rachel Chinouriri will open for her during her European trek.)
