Sabrina Carpenter always leaves quite an impression, and her Friday, November 15, Short ‘N Sweet Tour concert delivered quite a big one.

During Carpenter’s Los Angeles show, she invited iconic vocalist Christina Aguilera onto the Crypto.com Arena stage.

Aguilera, 43, strutted into the venue, wearing a black bustier and over-the-knee silver boots while performing a vocal riff that launched a rendition of “Ain’t No Other Man.” Carpenter, 25, subsequently joined her at center stage to complete the number, per social media footage. They also sang Aguilera’s “What a Girl Wants.”

Aguilera previously enlisted the “Espresso” artist for a special remix of her eponymous debut album, which recently celebrated its 25th anniversary.

“She may claim to be short and sweet but never underestimate the mighty power behind Sabrina Carpenter’s talent.
