Taylor Swift has called Sabrina Carpenter "the pop princess of our dreams"
The superstar paid tribute to her fellow singer's work ethic in a heartfelt Instagram post.
"One of the things I'll always remember from this weekend was getting to surprise the crowd with a performance by the pop princess of our dreams: Sabrina Carpenter," Taylor wrote, after Sabrina appeared as a surprise guest on stage at her New Orleans concert on the weekend.
Sabrina, 25, currently touring her own Short n' Sweet concert around the US, had previously been a supporting performer for earlier legs of Taylor's global Eras tour and opened for the Cruel Summer singer in Australia and Latin America.
"Side note: She had one day off from her very exhaustive tour schedule," Taylor, 34, pointed out. "Her show is physically full on and spectacular, and she could've been resting in her time off. One of the reasons I respect her so much is that she does things like this, goes out of her way to give fans a surprise moment they didn't expect."
Taylor went on to describe Sabrina as "real", expressing her gratitude to the Espresso hitmaker for making the time to join her.
"She's as real as they come and I'm so thankful she did that for us," Taylor gushed.
