Social media users had a lot to say regarding Sabrina Carpenter's concert performances. On Friday, November 15, Sabrina Carpenter performed at L.A.'s Crypto.com Arena as part of her Short n’ Sweet tour. Clips from the concert went viral for allegedly depicting suggestive acts in her concerts. Especially, the outro of her hit track Bed Chem with a provocative performance accompanying it.

Toward the end of her concert, Carpenter performed her signature Bed Chem routine, laying on a bed on stage while the curtains drew as she was joined by a man. The audience cheered as the stage showcased shadows of Carpenter and the man taking off their clothes before depicting various intimate actions.

Although the star received some backlash for her allegedly s*xualized performances, many fans were quick to remind people that the singer wasn't a Disney star anymore. One X (formerly Twitter) user who went by @kumingaWRLD stated:

"She ain’t meant for kids her Disney days are over."

Sabrina Carpenter brought out Christina Aguilera during her Los Angeles concert

Sabrina Carpenter brought out a surprise for her fans during her aforementioned Crypto.com show on Friday. During her show, Carpenter played a round of Spin the Bottle with her backup dancers and announced that the winner was "a little Christina".

At that moment, Christina Aguilera emerged from a platform underneath the stage and sang her 2006 hit Ain’t No Other Man alongside Carpenter and the dancers. The duo later sat down together at the edge of the catwalk on stage and performed a rendition of Aguilera's 1999 hit What a Girl Wants together.

Carpenter and Aguilera previously performed together back in September during the latter's 25th anniversary celebration of her self-titled debut album at L.A.'s Spotify Music Studio. Before performing What a Girl Wants together for the first time, Carpenter exclaimed at the time that she was "freaking out". The singer recalled in the Spotify Video on September 23:

"I think the first time I ever heard your voice was [when] my mom played me a video of you singing at eight years old, ‘A Sunday Kind of Love.'"

She added:

"That was the most inspiring thing for me ever to see as a young girl that wanted to sing, but just didn’t think I could do it at that age."
