To date on the Short n' Sweet Tour, Sabrina has performed ABBA's 'Mamma Mia' the most and Shania Twain's 'That Don't Impress Me Much', Olivia Newton John's 'Hopelessly Devoted To You' and Rick James' 'Super Freak' the least.

She also performed Christina Aguilera's 'Ain't No Other Man' / 'What a Girl Wants' once with Christina as a special guest in LA.

Will Sabrina Carpenter change her surprise songs?

Based on Sabrina's performance in Baltimore, Maryland, it seems as though Sabrina will edit her four surprise cover songs throughout the Short n' Sweet Tour. In Baltimore, she switched her own song 'Busy Woman' with Madonna's 'Material Girl' and she's since performed 'Material Girl' and 'Busy Woman' multiple times.

Sabrina also changed over Shania Twain's 'That Don't Impress Me Much' to Dolly Parton's '9 to 5' as Song Two in Nashville, Tennessee. Sabrina hasn't performed 'That Don't Impress Me Much' since so it's possible that it's a permanent switch.

For Halloween, Sabrina dressed up as Sandy from Grease and sang Olivia Newton John's 'Hopelessly Devoted To You' and, for LA, Sabrina brought out Christina Aguilera as a guest to sing 'Ain't No Other Man' and 'What a Girl Wants'.

On her final night in Inglewood, California, Sabrina switched ABBA's 'Mamma Mia' for Rick James' 'Super Freak'. Whether or not it's a permanent switch is yet to be seen.
