The Taste singer wished the audience a wonderful night and explained her absence. “I wish I were there, but I’m on my Short & Sweet tour right now and have to go on stage.” She signed off warmly with, “I’ll be thinking about you all, and I can’t wait to see you soon. Thanks for all the love,” ending her message with a flying kiss.

Espresso, the lead single from Carpenter’s sixth studio album, Short n’ Sweet, debuted at number ten on the Billboard Global 200, marking her first top-ten hit and fourth overall chart entry.
