Carpenter’s first turn around the Opry is just the latest career milestone she has ahead of her. On Thursday (Sep. 18), she revealed that she will host Saturday Night Live for the first time ever, pulling double duty on the show’s Oct. 18-slated episode. She’s also locked in to headline Coachella for the first time next year, and she is set to appear on The Muppets‘ new one-off special coming to Disney+ in 2026.
The Grammy winner is currently gearing up to resume her Short n’ Sweet Tour with a second North American leg starting in late October. The run of shows will mark her first time back on the road since dropping new album Man’s Best Friend, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in August.
“you guys have made Man’s Best Friend my second #1 album and my highest debut ever,” she wrote on Instagram at the time. “that is very surreal!!! i feel so lucky to have such beautiful love and support all around me … to see the way you are all resonating with it just makes me feel like the luckiest girl in the world.”
