Sabrina Carpenter has announced a deluxe version of ‘Short N’ Sweet’, and it features Dolly Parton.
Announcing the news on social media, the ‘Espresso’ singer wrote: “as a thank you for giving this album 2 Grammy’s :’) short n’ sweet deluxe is now available for pre order.. and yes that does say featuring Miss Dolly Parton…. 
she wouldn’t want me to swear but holy shit!!!!!”
The deluxe version of Carpenter’s ‘Short N’ Sweet’ is set to come out on Valentine’s Day (February 14). Parton is set to join Carpenter on a remix of ‘Please Please Please’, and since the country star is known for not cussing it’s unclear if the word “motherfucker” will be included in the track.
NME gave ‘Short N’ Sweet’ four stars in a review, praising the album for Carpenter’s ability to musically find herself. “Musically, Carpenter mostly finds that niche she’s been searching for, getting comfortable in a country-pop groove on the likes of ‘Coincidence’ and ‘Please Please Please’, or nailing frothy pop bops like ‘Taste’ and ‘Juno’,” it reads.
“For the most part, though, who Sabrina Carpenter is has never been clearer – and her long-awaited, hard-earned climb to pop’s summit should continue with ease.”
Carpenter received 2025 Grammy nominations for Album Of The Year, Best New Artist, Best Pop Vocal Album, as well as Song Of The Year for ‘Please Please Please’ and Record Of The Year for ‘Espresso’, taking home awards for Best Pop Solo Performance with ‘Espresso’ and Best Pop Vocal Album for ‘Short ‘N Sweet‘.
At the Grammy Awards Show, which took place on Sunday (February 2), she performed a big band-inspired medley of ‘Espresso’ and ‘Please Please Please’.
In other Dolly Parton-related news, in December 2024 she announced an open casting call for a new musical based on her life. Titled Dolly: An Original Musical, the show is set to follow the life and career of the singer, and will feature a combination of both her biggest hits and some new material written especially for the show.
