Short n' Sweet

Short n' Sweet is the sixth studio album by American singer Sabrina Carpenter. It was released on August 23, 2024, through Island Records. Primarily a pop, bubblegum pop, and teen pop record with country, folk, disco, rock, and R&B influences, Short n' Sweet was produced by Julian Bunetta, John Ryan, Ian Kirkpatrick, and Jack Antonoff. The album explores Carpenter's love life and her perspectives on 2020s dating. Its title is a reference to the emotional impact of her shortest romantic relationships, as well as her short stature and the album's brief runtime. She stated that Short n' Sweet is her second "big girl" album and personally feels like her sophomore album, as she has had complete creative control of her music starting from Emails I Can't Send (2022), her first album with Island Records.

Two singles, "Espresso" and "Please Please Please", preceded the album's release; both topped the Billboard Global 200 chart and exposed Carpenter to wider commercial success. The songs marked her first number-ones on the UK Singles Chart and the US Billboard Hot 100, respectively. The third single, "Taste", peaked at number one in the UK and number two in the US. Short n' Sweet topped the record charts in 18 countries and received certifications in 10 nations. "Bed Chem" and "Juno" were released as the fourth and fifth singles. To support the album, Carpenter embarked on the Short n' Sweet Tour, the first arena tour of her career, in September 2024.

Upon release, Short n' Sweet received positive reviews from music critics, who praised the confidence of the lyrics and the music's enjoyability, although some criticized the songwriting as serviceable and low-risk. Short n' Sweet and its tracks received eight nominations at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year, and won for Best Pop Vocal Album and Best Pop Solo Performance for "Espresso". Carpenter became one of the only fifteen artists in history to receive nominations in all four main General Field categories in a single night. She also released a deluxe edition of the album including a duet version of "Please Please Please" with Dolly Parton and "Busy Woman".
