Do you want the Grand Ole Opry tour? On Friday, the storied Nashville institution announced that Sabrina Carpenter will be making her Opry debut on Oct. 7, in time for its centennial anniversary.
Along with Carpenter, Laci Kaye Booth, Kameron Marlowe, and more artists to be announced will be added to the lineup for the day, which will be announced soon.

Carpenter has effortlessly included country elements in much of her music in the past. She dabbled in country with some of the songs on both Short ‘n Sweet and Man’s Best Friend, even featuring Dolly Parton on the former’s “Please Please Please” remix. There’s a touch of fiddle, banjo, and a country accent that sneaks out of Carpenter in her voice on songs like “Slim Pickins” and “Go Go Juice.”
Oh, and how could we forget? She performed “That Don’t Impress Me Much” with country queen Shania Twain during her tour, and covered “9 to 5” by Parton (country hat and all!) multiple times during the run.
“Our voices are very similar,” Parton told Rolling Stone for a cover story on Carpenter earlier this year. “I can’t tell sometimes which part’s her and which part’s me. And we look like relatives. She looks like she could be my little sister. We’re little women, doing big things.”
Carpenter’s country music dabbles go farther back than just her most-recent two LPs: Emails I Can’t Send‘s “Bad for Business” country music elements during her live show.
It’ll be a busy October for Sabrina, who was announced as the double-duty host and musical guest on SNL on Oct. 18. The Opry show will also arrive a few weeks before she returns to her Short ‘n Sweet tour on Oct. 23 in Pittsburgh. She’ll then head to New York City for five shows, before Toronto in early November, before a final six shows
Earlier this week, Coachella announced that Carpenter will be one of the headliners at the 2026 music festival, marking her return after a sunset show in 2024.
