Sabrina Carpenter Surprises at Ecuadors World Cup Win

She may be one of the world's biggest stars, but even Sabrina Carpenter needed a helping hand from her binoculars as she was sat high in the stands for Ecuador's World Cup victory against in on Thursday. 

The singer, 27, made a surprise appearance at the group match which saw Ecuador narrowly scrape through to the knockout stages after winning 2-1 in euphoric scenes.

Despite being a goal down after a strike within two minutes, the South Americans recovered to equalise through Sunderland's Nilson Angulo.

Gonzalo Plata sent thousands of Ecuadorian fans wild with the winner with 13 minutes to go, with the South American now a dangerously-placed team finishing in third place in Group E.

Sabrina was among many big names who have been soaking up the World Cup action since the tournament kicked off earlier this month, with , and just a handful of stars who have been watching the action unfold.

The Espresso hitmaker opted for a stylish navy blue and white polo shirt mini dress as she took her seat inside the stadium. 

In April the star stormed the stage with a triumphant headline run at the Coachella Festival, but was forced to issue an apology after calling a fan's Arabic celebration call 'weird'. 

'My apologies I didn't see this person with my eyes and couldn't hear clearly,' Sabrina wrote on X. 'My reaction was pure confusion, sarcasm and not ill intended. Could have handled it better!'

'Now I know what a Zaghrouta is,' she continued. 'I welcome all cheers and yodels from here on out.'

The Zaghrouta, often used by women in the Middle East and North Africa, is commonly done during celebrations, such as weddings and parties.

As Sabrina sat by the piano before performing her song 'We Almost Broke Up Again Last Night' during her set, a noise could be heard in the audience.

'I think I heard someone yodel,' Sabrina said in videos circulating on social media. 'Is that what you're doing? I don't like it.'

The fan clarified that the ululation was part of her Arabic culture, Sabrina added: 'I don't like it. That's your culture is yodeling?'

When the festival-goer emphasized that it was simply a call of celebration, Sabrina concluded, 'Is this Burning Man? What's going on? This is weird.'

Elsewhere during the set, Sabrina sent fans into a tizzy with see-through black lace bodysuit meant to look as though she had no underwear on beneath it.

She saved her head-turning look for the end of her performance, when she delivered a medley of her smash hit songs Juno, Espresso and Goodbye.

Fans were sent into paroxysms of excitement as she whirled through the numbers on a set meant to evoke the glitz and kitsch of Old Hollywood.

When she performs Juno onstage, she often mock-arrests a celebrity in front of the audience with fuzzy handcuffs, bringing on names ranging from Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown to Spice Girls icon Emma Bunton.

She went without a famous guest for Juno, but over the course of her set brought on four legacy actors - Susan Sarandon, Will Ferrell, Samuel L. Jackson and Sam Elliot - as well as her onetime Girl Meets World co-star Corey Fogelmanis.
