Pop sensation Sabrina Carpenter has revealed a fiery mishap at home, telling her millions of followers she accidentally set her bathroom on fire. The 26-year-old singer shared the startling admission via Instagram Stories on Wednesday, alongside a photo of the aftermath.
A Fiery Mishap on Instagram
The Espresso hitmaker posted a snapshot of a heavily charred bathroom sink and countertop. A small red candle was visible on the scorched beige surface, hinting at the cause of the accidental blaze. Carpenter captioned the image simply, 'set my bathroom on fire by accident,' punctuating the confession with a heart emoji but offering no further explanation.
This fiery revelation was part of a series of posts in which the singer-songwriter, who boasts nearly 50 million Instagram followers, looked back on 2025 ahead of the New Year. She also shared a mirror selfie, showcasing a chic grey skirt suit.
Reflecting on a Landmark Year
The incident follows a hugely successful period for Carpenter. Just one week prior, she released new bonus tracks for her acclaimed 'Man's Best Friend' album, which dropped this past August. In a message to fans, she wrote, 'To thank you for such a beautiful year …and to supply whoever needs a cathartic christmas crashout song…' The album has earned her a staggering six Grammy nominations for the February 2026 ceremony.
This news also comes shortly after she bid an emotional farewell to her extensive 'Short n' Sweet' tour. The 14-month global endeavour, which kicked off in September 2024 and comprised 72 shows, concluded in early December at Los Angeles's Crypto.com Arena.
Tour Memories and Behind-the-Scenes Facts
Marking the end of the tour, Carpenter shared a revealing TikTok post, offering little-known facts about the production. She humorously recalled the 'heart pit where i pretended to be shocked by the surprise song,' and a fireplace where she 'never knew if the shot would be water or tequila.' She also described a white staircase as 'the stairs that humbled my ass way too many times.' The post, captioned 'Short n' Sweet tour forever,' garnered millions of likes from her 36.5 million followers on the platform.
On Instagram, she shared a more sentimental, formal goodbye with a carousel of behind-the-scenes photos. 'This show really was everything I’ve dreamt of making since i was young,' she wrote in a lengthy caption. She thanked her team and fans who sold out every show, adding, 'I truly think I’ll look back on this tour when I’m old and gray and wish I could step back into my go go boots just one more time.'
