At the 2024 Outside Lands festival, Sabrina Carpenter delivered an unforgettable surprise to her fans by teaming up with Kacey Musgraves for an impromptu cover of Nancy Sinatra’s iconic hit “These Boots Are Made for Walkin’.” The electrifying performance took place during Carpenter’s headlining set on August 10 in San Francisco.
The surprise collaboration was a highlight of the festival, which saw Carpenter, 25, invite Musgraves on stage to join her in a spirited rendition of the 1966 classic. The audience erupted with excitement as Carpenter revealed the special guest, sharing her deep admiration for Musgraves. “There’s an artist that I’ve just loved for my entire life,” Carpenter told the crowd, expressing how Musgraves’ voice has been a pivotal part of her life.
As Musgraves took the stage, the two singers embraced before launching into their dynamic performance. Musgraves dazzled in a white mini dress with silver accents, while Carpenter sparkled in a sequined dress paired with knee-high boots and a tambourine. The duo’s energetic cover was a standout moment, with Carpenter exclaiming to the audience, “Guys, that was so cool. That was like a dream.”
Musgraves later shared her appreciation on Instagram, posting photos from their duet and captioning them, “Last night was a short n sweet little dream ily @sabrinacarpenter. Thanks for having meeee.” Carpenter, reflecting on her festival debut, expressed gratitude to fans and her team, particularly highlighting Musgraves’ appearance as a special moment.
The festival performance was a significant milestone for Carpenter, who stepped in to headline after Tyler, the Creator’s cancellation. Following Outside Lands, Carpenter is set to embark on her Short n Sweet headlining tour, starting September 23 in Columbus, Ohio, and wrapping up in Los Angeles on November 15.
