Pop sensation Sabrina Carpenter turned her New York City concert into a royal comedy show when she playfully arrested Anne Hathaway with her fluffy pink handcuffs while also dubbing her the “first princess in the world.” The “Espresso” singer, known for her playful onstage antics, brought her signature bit to life once again during her sold-out NYC performance.
Sabrina Carpenter arrests Anne Hathaway with toy handcuffs at NYC concert
As part of her concert tradition, Sabrina Carpenter roams the stage in search of a lucky audience member to “arrest” with her fluffy toy handcuffs, and this time, she hilariously landed on the “Princess Diaries” star, Anne Hathaway, herself. In a now-viral video, Carpenter turned to Hathaway mid-show and quipped into her mic with a straight face, “What’s your name? Sorry, never heard of you like that.”
The musician pretended to realize who she had arrested, gasping, “You’re Anne! Wow!” The singer playfully asked Hathaway where she was from. The Oscar-winning star replied, “Genovia,” instantly referencing her iconic royal role as Princess Mia Thermopolis from “The Princess Diaries.” Carpenter, delighted by the comeback, responded, “I just don’t know what to do when I see a face like that in the crowd… Has anyone ever told you that you look like a princess?“
The “Manchild” hitmaker leaned closer with her trademark fluffy cuffs and teased, “Could I arrest you for being the first princess in the world?” Carpenter then playfully arrested the actor for her “offences.” As fans screamed Hathaway’s name, the singer announced that her next song, “Juno,” is for Hathaway.
Fans online can’t get enough of the clip, calling it one of Carpenter’s most iconic concert interactions yet. One user commented, “Only Sabrina could turn a concert into a chaotic rom-com moment! Pop meets Oscar royalty — we’re so here for this crossover.” Meanwhile, another added, “LMAO not Sabrina arresting Anne Hathaway. This tour is getting wilder every stop.” One fan gushed, “She really is our Queen of Genovia.”
