Having discontinued her horny little improvised "Nonsense" outros for the Short 'n Sweet arena tour, Sabrina Carpenter has instead promised fans surprise covers at each show of the tour selected via a cute spin-the-bottle-inspired segment of the performance. 

The first night in Columbus, OH, the wheel landed on Song No. 1 and the pop star performed ABBA's "Mamma Mia." In Toronto last night (September 25), the bottle once again landed on the same space — but instead of repeating herself, Carpenter moved the bottle to the Song No. 2 portion of the wheel, remarking, "Shania Twain's from Canada, so..." before launching into a rendition of the iconic Come On Over track "That Don't Impress Me Much."

Despite a couple of minor lyrical flubs, she delivered a pitch-perfect cover, leaning into the countrified mode of her own tunes like "Slim Pickins'" and "Please Please Please" with plenty of twang. This whole sleepover setup with the lingerie and her dancers sitting around on pillows feels very on-brand and fun!

Of course, Carpenter couldn't end the night without sporting a custom Toronto Maple Leafs jersey to perform "Espresso." You can check out fan-shot footage of that, as well as her version of "That Don't Impress Me Much," below.
