What is the age recommendation for Sabrina Carpenter’s Short n' Sweet Tour?

What is Sabrina Carpenter’s music genre?
Sabrina Carpenter is a pop artist whose music is bright, bubbly, and catchy. She sings largely about love, heartbreak, and sex to easily hummable beats — don't be surprised if you walk out of her concert bopping along to a song (or multiple) that stuck in your head!

What can I expect at a Sabrina Carpenter show?
As Sabrina Carpenter has matured as an artist, she's cultivated a glamorous, sexy, and above all fun pop persona, which is reflected in every aspect of her live performances. Expect sparkly pinup outfits (from Carpenter and her fans in the audience), playful dancing, and plenty of singalongs to her catchy lyrics. But although Sabrina Carpenter may have gotten her start on Disney Channel, a squeaky-clean, kid-friendly Disney star she is not — some of her lyrics are decidedly PG-13.
Carpenter is known for making every show unique in some way. In the past, she's written a bespoke outro for her song "Nonsense" for each tour stop, and demonstrated a different "position" every time she performed the song "Juno." On this leg of the Short n' Sweet Tour, Carpenter performs a surprise cover song that's different at each concert.
