Sabrina Carpenter turned her New York City stop on the Short n’ Sweet tour into a full-on Girl Meets World reunion, complete with fuzzy pink handcuffs and a stadium-sized scream from the crowd.
During her October 29 set, the 26-year-old pop star continued her viral concert bit of “arresting” someone in the audience for being “too hot.” This time, the target was familiar: former Disney Channel costar and longtime friend Corey Fogelmanis, 26.
“I think I just found him,” Carpenter said as a camera feed found Fogelmanis in the crowd. “Oh s***, we got to arrest him. He’s so pretty. I’m obsessed.” The playful exchange quickly became the night’s headline moment, as fans realized they were watching an impromptu Boy Meets World-universe reunion in real time.
Inside The Viral Onstage Moment
Carpenter kept the tradition cheeky and charming, quizzing Fogelmanis on his name and where he’d traveled from before getting to the question that’s become a staple of the bit: “Are you single?” When Fogelmanis replied, “No,” Carpenter feigned shock. “Wow, no one’s actually ever said that,” she joked, adding with a grin, “I don’t really know what to do now other than just be like, maybe this is our little secret right now and you guys don’t tell anyone.”
The singer then turned the moment into a wink at her latest album. “But Corey, just for this evening, can we have some fun? Will you be my ‘Juno’ boy tonight?” she asked, nodding to “Juno” from 2024’s Short n’ Sweet. Fogelmanis raised his hands and Carpenter slipped on a pair of fuzzy pink handcuffs, sealing the bit with a hand kiss from Fogelmanis that sent the arena into chaos.
The interaction was captured from multiple angles and quickly circulated on social media, including a widely shared clip posted on X on October 30, 2025. Within hours, the moment was trending among fans of both Carpenter’s tour and the Disney Channel sitcom that made the pair household names.
Why Girl Meets World Fans Are Losing It
For viewers who grew up on Girl Meets World, the reunion was as nostalgic as it was playful. Carpenter starred as Maya Hart, the rebellious, quick-witted best friend of Riley Matthews (Rowan Blanchard), while Fogelmanis played Farkle, the brainy, hyper-confident son of Boy Meets World’s Stuart Minkus (Lee Norris). The spinoff ran from 2014 to 2017 and built a dedicated fandom around its blend of classroom lessons, heartfelt friendships, and callbacks to the original series.
Carpenter and Fogelmanis have remained close since the show wrapped, occasionally popping up together and sending the internet into a collective meltdown each time. Earlier this year, the duo reunited on TikTok in a clip set to Carpenter’s “Manchild,” fueling another round of warm-and-fuzzy nostalgia. Wednesday’s onstage moment takes that energy to a new level by folding their offscreen friendship into Carpenter’s live show in a way that feels both organic and celebratory.
What makes the exchange resonate is how it balances Carpenter’s finely tuned stage persona—flirty, funny, and perfectly in control—with the genuine history the two share. It’s a nod to the past that doesn’t feel like a retread, doubling as fan service and a savvy piece of tour showmanship.
Carpenter’s Tour Bit Keeps Delivering
Carpenter’s “too hot” arrest gag has become a signature moment on the Short n’ Sweet tour, a recurring segment that shifts nightly depending on the crowd and the energy in the room. It taps into her knack for improvisation and her comfort bantering with fans, traits that have helped her live shows gain traction far beyond the venues themselves.
By folding “Juno” into the bit—and literally crowning a “Juno boy”—Carpenter connects the moment to the album cycle in a way that rewards fans who know the tracklist and keeps casual listeners in the loop. The pink handcuffs, meanwhile, have become a tour visual in their own right: a prop that signals the show is about to get playful and a little chaotic.
That blend—slick pop performance with small, intimate interactions—has been instrumental in Carpenter’s recent run. The singer’s arena-ready confidence pairs with a comedic timing honed since her Disney days, and the result is a concert experience that can generate a viral clip at any moment without losing its musical backbone.
For Fogelmanis, the cameo served as a reminder of the Girl Meets World ensemble’s lasting charm, even years after the series ended. The two didn’t need to recreate a scene or reference a specific storyline; their easy rapport did the work, sending fans back to a time when Maya and Farkle were side by side in homeroom and after school.
As Carpenter’s tour continues, the NYC “arrest” will likely stand out as one of its most replayed highlights—a perfect intersection of pop spectacle, friendship, and a dash of Disney nostalgia. It’s the kind of moment that underscores how live music can double as a cultural touchpoint: here for the jokes, but anchored by a genuine connection that predates the stagecraft.
And while the handcuffs were fuzzy and the tone was light, the reaction was serious: a packed house roaring in approval as two fan favorites turned a tour bit into a reunion worth remembering.
