In the post, Carpenter showed off two additional outfits that skipped the red carpet that she wore once inside the event. One was a Versace dress covered in Andy Warhol’s famous pop art depictions of Marilyn Monroe and James Dean. The other was a gold fringe Bob Mackie number that she wore on stage to perform with none other than the legendary Stevie Nicks.
In her caption, Carpenter expressed gratitude to Anna Wintour, Vogue and the Metropolitan Museum of Art for hosting her at the gala and for “giving [her] a beautiful new friend” in Nicks.
“Singing together healed many things in me!” 
Carpenter gave fans an inside peek at her time at the Met Gala with a new carousel shared to Instagram on Wednesday (May 6).
Carpenter shared a photo of herself and Nicks grasping each other’s hands and posing for the camera as well as a video of their duet. In the clip, the two singers are holding each other’s hands once again as they sing Fleetwood Mac’s Billboard Hot 100 hit “Landslide.” (The song debuted and peaked on the chart at No. 41 in January 2026, more than 50 years after its release, following the track’s appearance in the series finale of Stranger Things.)

Carpenter also showcased her own songs, "House Tour," "Espresso," and "Please, Please, Please," on the event's stage.
Sabrina Carpenter and Stevie Nicks joined forces at the Met Gala last night for a duet of Fleetwood Mac‘s 1975 song “Landslide.”
After Carpenter kicked off the evening’s festivities with her own songs “House Tour,” “Espresso,” and “Please, Please, Please,” Nicks took the stage in the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Egyptian wing as the event’s headliner. She brought Carpenter back out for “Landslide,” as well as an assist on “Don’t Stop Thinking About Tomorrow.” Nicks also performed “Gypsy” and “Edge of Seventeen.”
Carpenter is fresh off two weekends of headlining Coachella, where she collaborated with Madonna. The duo debuted their new single, “Bring Your Love,” during the festival, where the Queen of Pop made a surprise appearance. The upbeat dance number, produced by Madonna and Stuart Price, will appear on Madonna’s new LP, Confessions II, out July 3 via Warner Records. The singers also performed “Vogue” and “Like a Prayer.”
Carpenter’s Coachella set included numerous Hollywood references, a theme she continued last night at the Met Gala with her red carpet look. Her Dior dress by Jonathan Anderson paid homage to Audrey Hepburn’s 1954 film Sabrina using actual film strips from the movie. Carpenter told Vogue that Anderson designed it after working on her Coachella looks and that Sabrina is one of her favorite films of all time.
