Just before unleashing Man’s Best Friend, Sabrina Carpenter is looking back fondly at Short n’ Sweet, last year’s hit album that spent four weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. Short n’ Sweet popped up one year ago, on Aug. 23, 2024, led by the trio of singles “Espresso,” “Please Please Please” and “Taste.”

Carpenter not only earned her first No. 1 with the set, but also her first Grammy, in the pop vocal album category. Short n’ Sweet had the entertainer living life on the road on an arena tour across North America and Europe that resumes this October (perhaps with a set list refresh incorporating tracks from Man’s Best Friend, out Aug. 29).
Man’s Best Friend promo saw a brief interruption Saturday (Aug. 23) when the pop star penned a note on Instagram giving Short n’ Sweet one more minute to shine. There, she also posted a carousel of visual memories from the past year — looking back at on-set moments, photo shoots, live performances, award show wins and more.
“pausing from MBF to say happy one year of Short n’ Sweet,” Carpenter wrote. “one year of kiss marks, camaraderie, and being so f—ing horny.”
“this album is one of my most prized possessions and brought me closer to myself as well as so many beautiful people and places,” said the singer, who in just a week will release her next studio album — her seventh — featuring the Billboard Hot 100-topping lead single “Manchild” among the 12 tracks found on the standard version. (There’s a bonus 13th track expected on a special edition vinyl variant.)
Celebrating Short n’ Sweet in her Instagram post, she added, “Thank you for still listening every single day x thank you for coming to the shows and singing till your lungs give out, thank you for loving these songs and every damn lyric as much as i do! Thank you to all my friends i got to make every song with, every video with, create the live shows with. One of the most fun years I’ve had in my whole life. I’ll never take it for granted!!! Love you all infinitely.”
See the photos Carpenter shared on Instagram. Soon after releasing Man’s Best Friend, she’ll be performing on Sept. 7 at the 2025 VMAs; October brings a new song from her and Taylor Swift, on Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl.
