Sabrina Carpenter is ready for Coachella.

The Grammy-winning pop star, 26, spoke to Marc Jacobs for a new cover story interview with Perfect Magazine and opened up about preparing for her headlining set at the 2026 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.

"It’s the most ambitious show I’ve ever done," explained Carpenter, who will perform at the festival on April 10 and 17. "It’s probably the most time I’ve ever had to actually just sit down and talk about a show as I’m building it."

The "House Tour" musician continued, "Most of the time, you’re really quickly thrust into physical rehearsals, but this time around we started this process around seven months ago. So it’s been a long journey. It will be very special."

Carpenter then reflected on performing at Coachella for the first time in 2024. "That was a really special day for me, the day my song ‘Espresso’ came out. I got to play that for the first time at Coachella," she said. "And now, two years later, we’re back."

She added, "And I think that’s what makes this show feel really, really surreal: getting to celebrate all the songs that have come after it, and just how many lives they’ve lived since they’ve come out."

In addition to Carpenter, this year's Coachella will feature headlining performances from Justin Bieber, Karol G and Anyma.

Earlier this week, Carpenter released the music video for her hit Man's Best Friend single "House Tour." The clip stars the singer as well as Madelyn Cline and Margaret Qualley, who directed the video alongside Carpenter.

Coachella will mark Carpenter's first major U.S. performance since wrapping her Short n' Sweet Tour in November 2025 after 72 shows.
