Sabrina Carpenter Screams After Standing by Fireworks at Outside Lands Festival ArticlePure

Sabrina Carpenter got spooked by a firework on stage over the weekend. Thankfully, the run-in was Short n’ Sweet!

During her headlining set at San Francisco’s Outside Lands Music Festival on Saturday, Aug. 10, the “Espresso” singer screamed and jumped from a platform after a stray firework appeared to come very close to her, according to footage from the event’s livestream.

Carpenter, 25, was dancing when the pyrotechnics went off behind her, startling her and causing her to scream and jump forward. She then looked back and shrieked once more, covering her mouth as she ran away from the stray sparks.

“Oh my God!” she yelled as she continued running from the fireworks on the Golden Gate Park stage.

The star appeared to escape the pyrotechnics unscathed, however, finishing up her Outside Lands performance and continuing to post on social media following the festival.

Reps for Carpenter did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.

Elsewhere during her performance at the Bay Area festival, Carpenter — who replaced Tyler, the Creator as Saturday’s headliner — switched it up for her “Nonsense” outro, delivering the song’s most memorable section Shakespearean-style. She also invited a very special guest on stage.

For the outro — in which she adapts the end of her 2022 track to wherever she’s performing — a man came on stage with a scroll, which the pop singer then read to tease her upcoming record, Short n’ Sweet.

“Soon cometh my album so exciting. My heart doth pound beneath my chest, so mighty,” she sang with a laugh, live stream footage shows. “Outside Lands, it’s like thou art inside me.”

Carpenter also shared the festival stage with Kacey Musgraves for a surprise duet of Nancy Sinatra’s “These Boots Are Made for Walkin’,” footage of the performance shows.

The Deeper Well musician and the Disney alum both rocked sparkling mini dresses as they dueted the 1966 hit.

Short n’ Sweet — which contains the star’s hit singles “Espresso” and “Please Please Please” — is set to release on Friday, Aug. 23, Carpenter announced in June.

“MY NEW ALBUM IS COMING OUT AUGUST 23rd!!!!?,” she wrote on social media at the time. “This project is quite special to me and I hope it’ll be something special to you too.”
