Sabrina Carpenter just had a big career moment — in fact, some might say it was “grand.”

On Tuesday (Oct. 7), the pop star made her Grand Ole Opry debut, performing at the famed Nashville venue in honor of its yearlong 100th-anniversary celebrations. Two days afterward, Carpenter reflected on the showcase, calling it a “magical night.”

“thank you to the showstopping band that accompanied me last night,” she wrote on Instagram, sharing photos of herself backstage and dancing during the show. “thank you to my amazing fans who came out and for the Opry frequenters that opened me with welcome ears and hearts :’) I’m a lucky girl!”

Sheryl Crow was also on site Tuesday night to introduce Carpenter, who included a photo of herself and the Rock & Roll Hall of Famer in her post. “The brilliant @sherylcrow took the time to come out and introduce me and i am the biggest fan ever so that made my whole night alone if nothing else!!!” Carpenter added.

The hitmaker’s concert at the Opry was just the latest piece of programming the venue has lined up this year in honor of its 100th year of existence. The institution also congratulated Carpenter on making her debut, sharing photos of the performance on TikTok and writing, “We were thrilled to welcome her into the circle!”

Carpenter’s stop at the Opry was a natural next step for the singer, as her sound has leaned more and more country-tinged ever since her 2024 breakthrough album Short n’ Sweet. She kept the trend going with the release of Man’s Best Friend in August, as evidenced on the banjo-flecked Billboard Hot 100-topping lead single “Manchild.”

A few months after conquering the legendary Nashville performance hall, Carpenter will set her sights on yet another milestone show: Coachella 2026, which will mark her first time headlining the festival.
