The Short n’ Sweet Tour: full story, numbers, the “Juno” arrest bit

The three legs

Leg one (fall 2024): 23 shows, Sept 23 (Columbus) through Nov 23, 2024. North American arenas. Opening acts: Amaarae, Griff, Declan McKenna. This is where momentum built—Columbus on day one set the tone for the tour.

Leg two (spring 2025): 18 shows, Feb through April 2025 across Europe and the UK. Sold out O2 Arena in London on a record-breaking run. Opening act: Rachel Chinouriri. The European crowd was fierce.

Leg three (fall 2025): 31 shows, Sept through Nov 2025, North America again. Bigger markets, bigger venues. Opening acts: Olivia Dean, Ravyn Lenae, Amber Mark. The LA finale (Nov 23) closed the tour out.

The “Juno” arrest bit—every night

During the song “Juno,” Sabrina would pick someone in the crowd and pretend to “arrest” them for being “too hot,” complete with pink fuzzy handcuffs. It became the nightly ritual fans were waiting for. Celebrity arrestees across the run included Nicole Kidman, Anne Hathaway, Gigi Hadid, Maya Rudolph. And at the LA finale (Nov 23, 2025), she “arrested” Miss Piggy—a moment that went viral. The bit was playful, nightly, and one of the most-talked-about parts of the show.

Spin the Bottle surprise-song slot

Every night, Sabrina had a “Spin the Bottle” surprise-song slot. Fans didn’t know what they’d get. Debuts included “Busy Woman” and “Bad Reviews.” Deep cuts rotated by night. If you saw the tour multiple times, you got different surprises each night.

The setlist: 22 songs, always the same bones, rotating surprises

Every show was roughly 1 hour 35 minutes. The core setlist was consistent—the song order, the production, the choreography—but setlist surprises and the "Spin the Bottle" slot meant no two nights were identical. “Espresso” was always the opener. What came after was a mix of album tracks, hits, and fan favorites.

The openers: three rosters, one vision

Fall 2024 (North America, 23 shows): Amaarae (soul/R&B), Griff (UK pop), Declan McKenna (indie rock). Each brought their own energy before Sabrina took the stage.

Spring 2025 (Europe/UK, 18 shows): Rachel Chinouriri (UK soul/pop). A solo female opener, which resonated with the European crowds.

Fall 2025 (North America, 31 shows): Olivia Dean (UK soul), Ravyn Lenae (R&B), Amber Mark (electro-soul). Three strong women, rotating sets.

The numbers: who won the tour

Madison Square Garden was the top-grossing night: Oct 26, 2025, $2.44M from 14,000 tickets. That’s the biggest single night. Across the entire run, the tour averaged roughly $1.76M per show (gross / 72 shows). Face-value ticket prices started at $29.50–$149.50 in the 2024 leg and climbed to roughly $90–$160 by 2025.

Resale market: 2–5× face value in big markets

Floor and pit seats in major markets (NYC, LA, Toronto, London) resold for 2–5× face value. Lower-bowl seats typically ran 1.5–2× face. Upper-level seats held closer to face. The Toronto and NYC markets were the most competitive on resale.
