Sabrina Carpenter has confirmed that she has retired the outros to her hit single Nonsense.
The Espresso hitmaker started a tradition in 2022 in which she wrote new lyrics for the outro, usually containing sexual innuendo and double entendres, for every live performance, with her outros gaining particular attention when she supported Taylor Swift on tour.
Many fans were expecting the tradition to continue on Sabrina's Short n' Sweet Tour and were shocked on the opening night in Ohio last month when she didn't do the outro.
Instead, she poked fun at the decision by pretending her microphone had stopped working as a message about "technical difficulties" appeared on a screen.
In a cover interview with Time magazine, the Please Please Please hitmaker explained why she's taking an indefinite break from the outro.
"The extreme 'it's over forever' is just not in my repertoire. Maybe I'll feel random one day and bring it back," she said. "(But) that was for that album (Emails I Can't Send), for that era. You've got to keep a thing good."
Sabrina previously indicated to Capital FM at the radio station's Summertime Ball in June that she was struggling to come up with new lyrics every time she performs.
"You know, two years ago, I made a random decision and it really changed the course of my daily schedule," she shared. "I just think over the course of time, I've run out of provocative jokes in every city, so I'm running low."
She also told The Guardian in August that she has written "literally 900 outros".
Sabrina performed her last custom outro at the Outside Lands festival in San Francisco, California in August.
