When Sabrina Carpenter set up shop in Los Angeles for three dates of her Short n’ Sweet Tour, she brought out the big guns. There was Christina Aguilera. There was Jack Antonoff. And then there was Domingo.
On the new Pop Shop Podcast, we welcome Billboard deputy editor Lyndsey Havens so she and Katie can tell Keith all about their night out at the Forum for night 2 in LA, where Carpenter’s pop-star vision finally became a reality with a huge stage production and an even bigger fanbase.
Plus, Lyndsey sat down last week with Billboard cover star Olivia Rodrigo for a Superstar Q&A at the Billboard Live Music Summit, and she tells us all about her panel discussion with the Guts-y singer.
Also on the show, we’ve got chart news on how Shaboozey scores an 18th week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 with “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” leaving the song just a week away from tying the all-time record for the most weeks at No. 1 set by Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road” featuring Billy Ray Cyrus. Plus, Gracie Abrams gets her first Hot 100 top 10 with “That’s So True,” Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ “Die With a Smile” hits No. 1 on the Pop Airplay chart, and Dean Martin scores his first new hit on the Adult Contemporary chart since 2006 with an unearthed live recording from 1952 of a certain Christmas classic.
