In an era where concerts are easily accessible via TikTok and YouTube, artists have put a lot of effort into maintaining the element of surprise. Taylor Swift especially has been known for bringing out surprise guests throughout the years and for her Eras Tour surprise songs.
The new generation of pop stars has followed in her footsteps, with Olivia Rodrigo bringing out David Byrne, Robert Smith, and Ed Sheeran at recent performances. However, she isn’t the only one who wants to surprise and entertain her fans, as Sabrina Carpenter recently brought out some rock legends to sing their most iconic hit.

Just becauseSabrina Carpenter is mainly a pop artistdoesn’t mean she doesn’t know a thing or two about rock music.Carpenter brought out Duran Duran at night two of her Hyde Park concertin London to sing their hit “Hungry Like The Wolf.”
Carpenter is continuingherShort n' SweetTour, but she switched up her set and stage for her Hyde Park performances. The pop star excitedly introduced the UK-based group to the stage after performing herEmails I Can’t Sendsingle “Because I Liked A Boy.”
Despite being from a completely different generation,Duran Duran was excited to be there, and Carpenter’s audience of mostly Gen Z fans was excited to see them. The “Espresso” singer comically asked her audience to howl for her and, while she didn’t initially tell them why, it made sense once she started singing the Duran Duran hit with the band.
The song was perfect for Carpenter to sing with Duran Duran, because it’s as fun and campy as she is. With the song being released in 1982,it goes well with Carpenter’s ’80s pop aesthetic, even if it’s a little more rock than her music. Impressively, Carpenter’s vocals also fit perfectly with lead singer Simon Le Bon.
