Sabrina Carpenter says duetting with Stevie Nicks at the 2026 Met Gala “healed many things in me”
Sabrina Carpenter says duetting with Stevie Nicks at the 2026 Met Gala "healed many things" after a surprise "Landslide" duet on May 4.
Sabrina Carpenter has described her surprise duet with Stevie Nicks at the 2026 Met Gala as a healing moment. Carpenter wrote on Instagram that “Singing together healed many things in me!” after performing with Nicks on May 4 at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art.
The performance
The Met Gala, themed “Costume Art” this year, saw Carpenter open the night with a live set backed by a five-piece orchestra. She performed “House Tour”, “Espresso” and “Please, Please, Please” before welcoming Stevie Nicks to the stage for a surprise duet on the 1975 Fleetwood Mac song “Landslide.” Nicks later invited Carpenter back on stage for a rendition of “Don’t Stop.”
Carpenter posted a carousel on Instagram after the event. She shared two outfits she wore that night: a Versace dress printed with Andy Warhol pop art images of Marilyn Monroe and James Dean, and a gold Bob Mackie gown she wore during the performance with Nicks. In the caption she wrote: “Thank you Anna [Wintour], @voguemagazine and @metmuseum for having me perform and giving me a beautiful new friend @stevienicks,” and added, “Singing together healed many things in me!”

Where this sits in her year
The Met Gala slot came days after Carpenter headlined Coachella 2026. During the festival’s second weekend she was joined onstage by Madonna to debut a new track called “Bring Your Love,” which is slated to appear on Madonna’s upcoming album Confessions II, due July 3.
Carpenter’s first-weekend headlining set at Coachella included surprise appearances from Susan Sarandon, Sam Elliott, Samuel L. Jackson and Will Ferrell.
NME most recently reviewed Carpenter live at BST Hyde Park in London last summer. The five-star review said: “[‘Espresso’ has] catapulted the singer from an artist orbiting the pop girl league tables to one of its reigning champs, but her command of this space is a testament to the years of graft it took to get there. All she needed was time.”
