Is Sabrina Carpenter About To Announce An Australian Tour?
We've been (impatiently) waiting for Sabrina Carpenter to bless us with a proper Australian tour for years now, as her previous two albums Short 'n Sweet and emails i can't send have passed us by. With the announcement of her upcoming album Man's Best Friend, could the in-demand pop star finally be making her way Down Under?
While Sabrina Carpenter opened for Taylor Swift's Eras Tour in Sydney and Melbourne in 2024 to record-breaking crowds, she's definitely ready to headline her own tour in Australia. It took nine days for the main pop girlie to sell out her Short n' Sweet arena tour in the US, and she's since scooped up two Grammy Awards. We only have one thing to say to Sabrina: Please Please Please, come and visit us.
Here's everything we know about Sabrina Carpenter's rumoured Australian tour.
Is Sabrina Carpenter coming to Australia?
Sabrina Carpenter's Australian website has recently been updated with new Man's Best Friend merchandise and album pre-sales. However, if you head to the FAQ, you'll find a very interesting hint that she's about to embark on an Australian tour. There's a whole section about pre-sale ticket access, which customers could receive when buying certain products. It's worth noting no products currently include a pre-sale code, but this could be added when a tour is announced.
"Pre-sale ticket access gives you the chance to purchase event tickets before the general release to the public," the website reads. "If you've placed an order that includes pre-sale access, you will receive your pre-sale access code and the instructions to redeem via email."
Is Sabrina Carpenter planning a Man's Best Friend tour?
Sabrina Carpenter recently unveiled the artwork for her newest album Man's Best Friend, so it's possible she will want to support sales with a tour. It's creating a lot of buzz as her photo choices have been surrounded by controversy online. The Man's Best Friend artwork depicts the pop star on all fours while her hair is being pulled, next to a second picture of a dog collar with the album name on it.

A post shared by Sabrina Carpenter (@sabrinacarpenter)
Her Instagram post has attracted thousands of comments, with some fans calling it "disgusting" and "disturbing".
"Girl you just set feminism back another 20 years," one person wrote. "For satire to be effective it needs to subvert what it's criticising in an obvious way. Her being dragged across the floor by a man doe snot do any of that," another added.
However, there are some who have backed the singer's choice and called it "subversive irony".
"I think this cover art is hilarious and cheeky. Sabrina has written so many songs that are empowering for women, it's obvious it's not supposed to be taken literally," one fan commented. "She's using a title and image that appears to reinforce a stereotype (i.e. a submissive woman), but in reality, it's meant to mock, challenge or invert that very idea," another agreed.
What has Sabrina Carpenter said about touring in Australia?
When Sabrina Carpenter was in Australia for The Eras Tour, she made a brief appearance on Today, where she confirmed she wanted to come back "ASAP". Granted, this was on February 26, 2024, so we've been holding onto hope for a while.
"Being able to be [in Australia] performing for technically the first time this weekend has just made me want to come back ASAP, it is so, so good," she said.
What are Sabrina Carpenter's current tour dates?
Sabrina Carpenter is currently on the festival circuit, headlining BST Hyde Park, Lollapalooza Chicago, and the Austin City Limits Music Festival from July to October. She then resumes her regular touring schedule across the US, with her final show taking place on November 23, 2025.
However, a leaked page on her UK site spotted by a TikToker revealed she potentially plans to add more US shows in March and June 2026. All of the venues are listed as Johnny Brenda's in Philadelphia, a small dive bar, so it's likely this was a placeholder website page which wasn't meant to be published.
If Sabrina Carpenter is touring until the end of November 2025, and potentially starting up her next US tour in March 2026, there's a gap in January to February that would work out perfectly for her to enjoy an Aussie summer! Her album Man's Best Friend is due to be released on August 29, 2025, so she will likely be doing press in the US and UK around this time to promote her album.
There are rumours floating around online about her Australian tour, but it's hard to know if there's any truth to them. One person on TikTok wrote: "Saw someone post months ago saying they work at an arena, claimed she was booked for February, with announcements and ticket sales being in July or August."

Lauren Alaina welcomes baby girl and releases emotional new song
Beni Doll Arnold was born on June 11, 2025. 3:28 Country singer Lauren Alaina has a new reason to sing and celebrate. The artist announced the birth of her first child, a daughter named Beni Doll Arnold, born on June 11, 2025. Alaina shared the news in an Instagram post on Friday, writing: "Beni Doll Arnold 6.11.25. 7 lbs 13 oz. 19 inches long." Alongside the birth announcement, she offered a heartfelt caption about the life-changing moment she first held her baby girl: "Parts of my heart that I didn't even know existed were unlocked at 8:44 am when they laid you on my belly for the first time. I will never be the same." Alaina and her husband, Cam Arnold, whom she married earlier this year, are overjoyed by the arrival of their daughter. "We are honored God chose us to be your parents," she added. "You, to your dad and me, are absolute perfection." In a special tribute to her newborn and late father, the singer also surprised fans by releasing a brand-new song titled "Heaven Sent." Alaina explained the song was inspired by the emotional journey of learning she was pregnant shortly after the loss of her dad. "I wasn't sure when I would share 'Heaven Sent,' but watching my own husband become a father the last couple of days has made me want to share it with you now," she wrote. Beni's birth just days before Father's Day adds deeper meaning to the release. "It's my first without my own father. A day that will forever be hard to me, but I now have a new and perfect reason to celebrate it. Beni's daddy. My sweet and steady husband."

How Ananda Lewis discovered she had breast cancer — and the regrets she had about her treatment plan
Ananda Lewis, a staple of MTV's golden era, died this week after a lengthy battle with breast cancer. She was 52. In the years leading up to her death, the beloved TV personality stirred controversy by opting for alternative treatments instead of a doctor-recommended double mastectomy — a decision she stood by until the end, though not without some regrets. 'Do everything in your power to avoid my story becoming yours,' Lewis wrote in a candid essay for Essence published in January, reflecting on the choices she made both during her illness and long before cancer entered her life. Advertisement 7 Lewis' sister announced the news on Facebook Wednesday, June 11. Getty Images Lewis discovered a lump in her right breast while showering in December 2018. It was slightly larger than a pea and located where she'd often experienced mastitis while breastfeeding her son. The former MTV Video jockey and TV host hoped it was nothing — but a biopsy the following month revealed stage III breast cancer that had already spread to her lymph nodes. Advertisement 'For a really long time, I have refused mammograms, and that was a mistake,' Lewis shared on Instagram when she went public with her diagnosis in October 2020. 'If I had done the mammograms from the time they were recommended, when I turned 40, they would have caught the tumor in my breast years before I caught it through my own self-exam,' she continued. 7 Lewis was diagnosed with breast cancer in January 2019. imanandalewis/Instagram Despite the advanced stage, Lewis chose to face the diagnosis her way. Advertisement 'My approach in life is to deal with things head-on as they happen,' she wrote in Essence. 'So instead of panicking, I made a game plan.' After seeing her mother and cousin go through traditional cancer treatment, she turned down doctors' advice to undergo surgery to remove both her breasts, along with possible chemotherapy and radiation. 'My plan at first was to get out excessive toxins in my body,' Lewis told CNN in an October 2024 interview. 'I decided to keep my tumor and try to work it out of my body in a different way.' Advertisement She later admitted she had doubts about her decision. 'Looking back on that, I go, 'You know what? Maybe I should have,'' she said. Instead, she dove into research and overhauled her lifestyle, focusing on diet, detoxes and natural healing. 'My goal was to do things that supported my body's ability to continue to be whole enough to heal, instead of destroying it up front,' Lewis wrote in Essence. 7 Lewis gained popularity in 1997 when MTV hired her as a video jockey. WireImage She received monthly ultrasounds from a breast surgeon to track the tumor and committed to a mix of alternative therapies, including high-dose vitamin C IVs, hyperbaric chamber sessions, qigong, energy work and prayer. Progress was steady — until the COVID-19 pandemic hit. California shut down, and Lewis could no longer access her treatments or scans. 'By the summer of 2020, I felt the tumor growing again,' she wrote. With limited options in California, she traveled to Arizona, where medical clinics remained open. There, she underwent 16 weeks of integrative treatment, including acupuncture, cryoablation, and low-dose chemo. Advertisement The results were promising: her cancer dropped from stage III to stage II, it cleared from her lymph nodes, and her tumor shrank. But the cost was steep. Without insurance, Lewis couldn't keep up the treatments back home and had to pause care for more than two years while supporting herself and her son. 7 Lewis welcomed her son Langston in 2011 with Will Smith's brother, Harry Smith. By October 2023, her cancer had progressed to stage IV. Advertisement She re-entered treatment at an integrative clinic in Southern California. After 12 weeks, by January 2024, her condition had improved significantly. But the toll of years without consistent care weighed on her. 'Am I in the clear? No,' she wrote. 'But I could have ended up here no matter what route I took, because I didn't come in with the resources that I needed to stay the course the whole time.' 7 Lewis departed MTV in 2001 to host her own daytime talk program, 'The Ananda Lewis Show.' WireImage Doctors generally advise against skipping surgery for breast cancer — especially in earlier stages. Advertisement 'In stage I to III breast cancer, which is curable, there's no scenario that we can skip surgery altogether,' Dr. Stephanie Downs-Canner, a breast surgeon at Memorial Sloan Kettering, told Health. Research consistently shows that women who refuse surgery have lower five-year survival rates and are more likely to die from the disease. Still, Lewis remained firm in her convictions. 7 Lewis was also a human rights activity and professional carpenter. FilmMagic Advertisement 'I understand that people don't get it,' she told host Shameika Rhymes on Soulibration in October 2024. 'I still feel like I did the right thing. I need women to learn from my mistakes. I need them to learn from my victories.' Lewis also said she regretted ignoring factors she now believes contributed to her illness — from chronic stress to poor nutrition and skipped screenings. 'If I had known what I know now 10 years ago, perhaps I wouldn't have ended up here,' she wrote in Essence. 'I would've been doing all the things I've been forced to do now, to keep my body from creating more cancer and remove what it has already made.' She urged women to manage stress, sleep well, stay active, get enough vitamin D, hydrate, eat clean and avoid environmental toxins. 'Increase your knowledge about how to prevent getting here in the first place,' Lewis wrote. 'Prevention is the real cure.' 7 Lewis wanted to live until her son's middle school graduation day, and did exactly that. Paul Redmond Breast cancer is the most common cancer among US women after skin cancer, with one in eight expected to develop it in their lifetime. Rates are rising, especially among younger women and those who are Asian American or Pacific Islander, according to the American Cancer Society (ACS). Despite major advances in treatment and early detection, breast cancer remains the second leading cause of cancer death among women — behind only lung cancer. Black women are disproportionately affected, facing higher mortality rates at every age. In 2025, the ACS expects 316,950 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in the US, and 42,170 women will die from the disease. Most major medical groups recommend women at average risk start annual mammograms at 40, according to Those at higher risk — due to family history, genetics, or other factors — are generally advised to begin annual mammograms at 30 and breast MRIs between ages 25 and 35.
