During her headlining set at the Chicago festival Sunday night (Aug. 3), the pop star gave the girl group’s Momo, Jihyo and Sana a sweet shout-out while “arresting” them for being beautiful. The playful faux arrests are a nightly tradition on Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet Tour, which has previously seen the Grammy winner give handcuffs to everyone from Millie Bobby Brown to Salma Hayek before diving into “Juno.”
“Damn, we have some beautiful people in this audience tonight, but there are three girls I can’t take my eyes off of,” Carpenter said at Lolla as a Jumbotron cameras projected the TWICE ladies on the big screens. “I was gonna say, ’cause I had to look not once, but twice.”
“Are you guys single, by chance?” continues the singer as Momo, Jihyo and Sana wave and blow kisses. “Would you guys want to get married, maybe? If I were to give you these handcuffs, then I could marry all three of you, right?”
Carpenter went on to perform fan-favorite “Juno” from her Billboard 200-topping album Short n’ Sweet, but not before blowing the three K-pop stars a kiss. The sweet interaction was just one of several memorable moments in the Girl Meets World alum’s festival-closing set, with Carpenter also at one point performing “Let’s Groove” and “September” with special guests Earth, Wind & Fire.
TWICE and Carpenter go way back. In 2023, the latter presented the former with the Breakthrough Artist Award at that year’s Billboard Women in Music Awards, where she gushed about her love for the girl group on the red carpet.
“I’ve been following them for quite a long time now,” she told Billboard at the time. “I’m obsessed with them, I’m just a really huge fan. They’re all so beautiful, they look like dolls. They’re gorgeous.”
Carpenter is now gearing up to release her new LP, Man’s Best Friend, on Aug. 29. The project was led by Billboard Hot 100-topping single “Manchild,” and just a couple of days prior to her Lolla set, the star unveiled the album’s full tracklist.
