Sabrina Carpenter Wears Messi Jersey During Bad Bunny Lollapalooza Set

Sabrina Carpenter is bringing a little bit of Argentina to her stage presence. Ahead of her headlining set at Lollapalooza Argentina on March 15, 2026, the Grammy-winning singer posted a TikTok showcasing her support for soccer superstar Lionel Messi – and a whole lot of dance moves – while lip-syncing to Bad Bunny’s hit “Tití Me Pregunto.” The playful video, featuring Carpenter modeling a white-and-blue Argentina national team jersey emblazoned with Messi’s iconic number 10, quickly went viral, sparking a wave of fan excitement and calls for a potential collaboration between Carpenter and Bad Bunny.

A Festival Homage

Carpenter’s tribute isn’t just a fleeting social media moment. It’s a gesture deeply connected to her recent performance in Buenos Aires, a city that reveres Messi as a national hero. The TikTok, posted on Sunday, March 15th, shows Carpenter striking poses and mouthing the lyrics to “Tití Me Pregunto,” adding a caption of “ole ole ole Argentina.” The timing is key: Carpenter was closing out the final night of Lollapalooza Argentina, sharing the stage with fellow headliners Tyler, the Creator and Chappell Roan. The festival lineup also included Doechii, Lorde, Deftones, Turnstile, and Skrillex, drawing massive crowds.

This isn’t the first time Carpenter has acknowledged Messi’s influence. Yahoo Entertainment reports that she previously modified lyrics during a concert in Buenos Aires in 2023 to include a nod to the football star, demonstrating a consistent appreciation for the athlete and the country’s passion for the sport.

Grammy Connections and Collaboration Buzz

The connection to Bad Bunny runs deeper than just a TikTok soundtrack. Carpenter and the Puerto Rican superstar crossed paths at the 68th GRAMMY Awards on February 1, 2026, where they were photographed chatting on the ceremony floor. Both were nominated for Album of the Year – Bad Bunny ultimately took home the prize for Debí Tirar Más Fotos, while Carpenter was recognized for Man’s Best Friend. Both albums topped the Billboard 200 chart, solidifying their positions as major forces in the music industry.

The shared Grammy experience, coupled with Carpenter’s Messi-jersey TikTok set to Bad Bunny’s music, has ignited a fervent desire among fans for a collaboration. Comments on the TikTok video are flooded with requests like “Sabrina x Bad Bunny when??” and “WE NEED A SABRINA x BAD BUNNY COLLAB!!!,” indicating a strong appetite for a potential musical partnership.

Carpenter’s Momentum

Carpenter’s Lollapalooza performance in Argentina is just one stop on a busy touring schedule. She previously performed at Lollapalooza Chile on March 13, 2026, and is slated to appear at the Asunciónico festival in Paraguay before heading to Coachella in April 2026. These festival appearances mark some of her first full-set performances since wrapping up her “Short n’ Sweet” tour in November 2025, which culminated in a six-night residency at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.

The “Short n’ Sweet” tour was Carpenter’s most ambitious to date, encompassing 72 shows across North America and Europe. ClutchPoints notes that her 17-song setlist at Lollapalooza Argentina featured a mix of fan favorites, largely drawn from her sixth album, Short n’ Sweet. The set included tracks like “Busy Woman,” “Taste,” “Good Graces,” and her recent hit, “Espresso.”
