Sabrina Carpenter might not have treated Australia to her Short n' Sweet tour, but fans are convinced that Man's Best Friend could tell a different story.
Aussie fans watched from the sidelines (read: our TikTok feeds) for most of 2025 as Carpenter toured her signature glittering costumes and inimitable stage presence across the globe, without any indication of if it would eventually be our turn. Now, it seems that 2026 could actually deliver, with eagle-eyed fans noticing some very telling details that have convinced them that a tour announcement is imminent. Let's investigate.
Is Sabrina Carpenter about to announce a Man's Best Friend tour?
At this stage, there's no tour dates anywhere in the world associated with Man's Best Friend. But one TikToker is convinced that that's about to change. Brock Valesini took to TikTok to share that Carpenter's Ticketek waitlist page has very recently updated its feature image. "This is the first time in nearly four years that this has been updated," he reported.

The Grammys also seemed to drop a hint
If you were watching closely when Carpenter took to the stage at the 2026 Grammys, you might have noticed that her set resembled an international airport departures lounge, with a flight plan that might include Melbourne.
As Carpenter performed 'Manchild', fans were quick to notice cities from across the globe flashing up on the departures board behind her — so naturally, they took that to mean a Man's Best Friend tour is on the horizon.

So, will Sabrina Carpenter tour Australia?
If all of these theories are correct, then Aussie fans will be treated to a tour announcement in the very near future. Supporting this theory, posters for Man's Best Friend were recently spotted here in Australia. While these could just be promo for the album itself, fans are hopeful that their presence is indicative of a soon-to-be tour announcement.

Similarly, rumours went into overdrive in June 2025, when an Australian Carpenter took to TikTok with a very interesting observation. Jacinda Chenelle shared that Carpenter's Australian website had surreptitiously been updated, to include new details in the FAQ section about ticketing pre-sale access. You can watch the video in full here:
@jacindachenelle For the love of god, @Sabrina Carpenter please put Aussies out of our misery. We want to see you! 💋 #sabrinacarpenter #shortnsweet #shortnsweettour #manchild #mansbestfriend #australia #melbourne #sydney ♬ Manchild - Sabrina Carpenter
Unsurprisingly, fans were quick to jump on the video, with many speculating when the tour would be announced. According to one user, it could be as early as this week. "I'm predicting an announcement on Wednesday, but we'll see!" @solariscollects wrote.
When would Sabrina Carpenter come to Australia?
Obviously, your guess is as good as ours here. But given that Man's Best Friend was released in August 2025, we'd say it's due for an accompanying tour before too long.
We'll keep you updated when we know more around the specifics.
