Sabrina Carpenter Fans Call Out The ‘Austin City Limits’ Crowd For Being Unimpressed When She Brought Out Shania Twain As Her Surprise Guest

Some people are just ungrateful. This weekend, pop sensation Sabrina Carpenter headlined the 2025 Austin City Limits festival, and she brought out a very special guest in Shania Twain, who joined her for a performance of her 1997 hit “That Don’t Impress Me Much.” Sabrina just released a new album Man’s Best Friend, which features hits like “Manchild,” and more, so I’m sure you’ve heard of her at some point, even if you’re not overly familiar with her music. And while current pop music isn’t really my thing, I do like Sabrina and enjoy a lot of her stuff. I’ll be honest, I tend to really enjoy it when she does something country like this. Sabrina has actually collaborated with Dolly Parton before, and she clearly has a love for country music, so it was only fitting that she bring out Shania while in Texas, but I’m not exactly sure the crowd realized how awesome of a surprise guest she was. Several videos have gone viral on TikTok, Sabrina’s one of the biggest artists in the world right now and obviously Shania is a legend, so it should’ve made for a massive moment… but I’m not sure it translated for whatever reason. The crowd shots during this performance looked lackluster at best, they weren’t loud at all, and many in the comments in the below videos pointed that out. I’m not sure if it’s because a lot of Sabrina’s fans are so young, or if it was maybe different in person, but it looks and sounds like these fans certainly did not appreciate this moment as much as they should’ve: @destinyjjones Shania Twain xoxo #austincitylimits #fyp #sabrinacarpenter #shortandsweettour #shaniatwain @Sabrina Carpenter @Shania Twain ♬ original sound – Destiny Jones Another angle: @hulu Name a better #ACLFestival duo… we’ll wait #SabrinaCarpenter #ShaniaTwain ♬ original sound – hulu People in the comments of course noted how cool the collab was, and how it seemed like the fans just were not getting it, and while some said that the Hulu clip in particular might have had the volume on the audience turned down, several of the videos that were just taken by fans in the crowd seem to have a similar level of enthusiasm: “Sabrina brings out THE BEST guests and the crowds are NEVER worthy.” “And the crowd went mild?” “Why is the crowd so ungrateful.” “That crowd is a flop.” “This would have made the crowd go wild if this was in Canada.” “Crowds too young to know the legend on stage.” “Sabrina does the coolest ishhhh and these crowds are” “Saw this in person and it was amazing! In person the crowd did go wild, at least from my perspective.” “Is she even performing in front of a crowd?” “I FEEL LIKE THE CROWD NEVER APPRECIATES HER GUESTS.” “This crowd MISSED THE VIBE.” “WHY IS NO ONE SCREAMING FOR SHANIA.” “Most of that crowd probably has no idea who Shania Twain is.” “The crowd is too chill y’all COME ON.” “The crowd is NEVER hype enough for any of her guests bruh.” “Guys it was SO hot and we were packed in there really tightly to the point people were passing out. It was 90 degrees and people were waiting for hours. But we were so hyped! Just exhausted.” “My soul would’ve left my body if I was there and Shania came out. Are those people ok?!” “I don’t think this crowd is as hype as they should be for this collab.” “I don’t think the crowd realizes how iconic this is.” “This would’ve changed my life. My favorite Shania song. Why is no one freaking out??” “I would pass away for a Sabrina country album.” “The crowd didn’t sound grateful to be in the presence of those two beauties.” “IT’S SHANIA TWAIN START CHEERING!” If I ever got to see Shania and Sabrina perform live together, I would lose it… hopefully there were a few crowd members who fully appreciated what they were lucky enough to witness in person. I’ll leave this here in case any of you youngsters reading this don’t fully appreciate what Sabrina did for you at ACL this weekend… “That Don’t Impress Me Much” The post Sabrina Carpenter Fans Call Out The ‘Austin City Limits’ Crowd For Being Unimpressed When She Brought Out Shania Twain As Her Surprise Guest first appeared on Whiskey Riff.
