Sabrina Carpenter has everyone obsessing over her improvised 'Nonsense' lyrics – reviving the on-stage moment for her supporting shows on Taylor Swift's The Eras Tour.

There's one thing we can say for certain... and that's that Sabrina Carpenter sure knows how to put on a show!

The 23-year-old has hit the road with Taylor Swift on The Eras Tour, months after her own tour for fifth studio album 'Emails I Can't Send', and she's revived her iconic 'Nonsense' outro for her return to the stage.

It's been impossible to scroll through TikTok without seeing Sabrina land on your 'for you page'; the songstress has created somewhat of a trend on the platform with one very special part of her SC5 show.

Her certified bop 'Nonsense' was a fast fan-favourite upon the album's release in July last year, and famously features a series of ad-libs in its outro. And the singer-songwriter has taken her improvised rhymes all around the world, from Mexico to Australia as she opens Taylor's show.

During each concert, the former Disney darling improvises a new set of lyrics relating to the city she is performing in and fans have quickly cottoned on to her antics and have been posting them all over TikTok.

Sabrina Carpenter's 'Nonsense' outro in Mexico City

Sabrina had a few lines prepared for her 'Nonsense' outro in Mexico City on The Eras Tour.

Night 1: "I only date him if he pays my rent-ay / If you are a Swiftie you're mi gente / Let me hear you make some noise DF”

Night 2: "He said where you at I said I’m busy / Sipping on tequila getting tipsy / Con mis chicas in Mexico City"

Night 3: “I’m full grown but I look like a niña / Come put something big in my p***** / Mexico I think you are bonita”

Night 4: "Felt so good he made me hit the top note / Eras tickets girl you won the lotto / Mexico I kinda think te amo"

Sabrina Carpenter's 'Nonsense' outro in Baltimore

One of the most viral clips from her concerts has racked up a whopping 2.8million views, Sabrina playfully sings to the audience (and even references a fan-made sign):

"I'm sorry that this outro is chaotic / Don't call your ex Katie they are toxic / Baltimore I think that you're the hottest"

TikTok users couldn't get enough of the witty part of her set, with one writing: "She's customising it for every stop that's so cute.

Sabrina Carpenter's 'Nonsense' outro in New York

In all the clips taking the platform by storm, the crowd of Carpenters go absolutely wild as the famous 'Nonsense' outro starts, Sabrina sings everything from pop culture references to comments on ticket sales, telling New York that they "sold out the fastest".

Sabrina has explained herself she wrote 'so many' different versions of outros when writing the songs, and that things have only gotten more chaotic since she hit the road with the track.

Sabrina Carpenter's 'Nonsense' outro in Toronto

Sabrina fans loved her Toronto outro, in which she sang: "Toronto you're so cute it's like a fake crowd / Put your hands up if you've been to Drake's house / Leave your hands up if you want to make out."

The crowd went wild for the cheeky switch-up and Sabrina low-key looked very proud of herself – as she should – as she walked off the stage.

Sabrina Carpenter's 'Nonsense' outro in Atlanta

"Come over tonight my room is spotless / I'm so that this outro is chaotic / Atlanta is officially the hottest," she sang to Atlanta in another viral video, relocating the 'hottest' title she originally gave to New York.

In the comments fans wondered whether Sabrina was running out of things to say, but months down the line and she's still as creative as always each night.

Sabrina Carpenter's 'Nonsense' outro in Boston

Sabrina's trend has become so popular that some fans have even started making their own covers of the new lyrics and uploading them to the platform, there are so many renditions to choose from!

Another impressed fan wrote in the comments: "She is amazing I want to go to a show so bad I love the love I’m feeling from her live shows."

She sang in one Boston concert: "You're so hot I must proceed with caution / It's wicked awesome to be here in Boston / If your ex wants you back it's gonna cost him"

Sabrina Carpenter's 'Nonsense' outro in Singapore

Adorably her new beau Barry Keoghan was in the audience for night two of the Singapore tour leg. He looked at her adoringly as she sang: "He says that he wish he was on me / Got me wetter than Jewel Changi / Singapore I hope you like my song-y"

(For those who don't know, Jewel Changi Airport has a huge water fountain flowing in the centre of it)

And by night four Sabrina was feeling even spicier, singing: "Told that boy to sit, he got on all fours / Told that boy go faster, now I'm all sore / You hit a little different here Singapore"

On night six the naughty lyrics continued with: "Fell in love with you I think I'm done for / came five times but I think I need one more / you're my favourite night Singapore"

What lyrics will she improvise next?!

Sabrina Carpenter's full original 'Nonsense' lyrics:

(Verse 1)
Think I only want one number in my phone
I might change your contact to "don't leave me alone"
You said you like my eyes and you like to make 'em roll
Treat me like a queen, now you got me feelin' thrown, oh

(Pre-Chorus)
But I can't help myself when you get close to me
Baby, my tongue goes numb, sounds like "bleh-blah-bleh"
I don't want no one else, baby, I'm in too deep
Here's a lil' song I wrote, it's about you and me

(Chorus)
I'll be honest
Lookin' at you got me thinkin' nonsense
Cartwheels in my stomach when you walk in
And when you got your arms around me
Oh, it feels so good
I had to jump the octave
I think I got an ex, but I forgot him
And I can't find my chill, I must've lost it
I don't even know, I'm talkin' nonsense
I'm talkin', I'm talkin' (Ah-ah-ah-ah)

(Verse 2)
I'm talkin' all around the clock
I'm talkin' hope nobody knocks
I'm talkin' opposite of soft
I'm talkin' wild, wild thoughts
You gotta keep up with me
I got some young energy
I caught the L-O-V-E
How do you do this to me? Think I only want one number in my phone
I might change your contact to "don't leave me alone"
You said you like my eyes and you like to make 'em roll
Treat me like a queen, now you got me feelin' thrown, oh

(Pre-Chorus)
But I can't help myself when you get close to me
Baby, my tongue goes numb, sounds like "bleh-blah-bleh-bleh"
And I don't want no one else, baby, I'm in too deep
Here's a lil' song I wroet, it's about you and me
(Chorus)
I'll be honest
Lookin' at you got me thinkin' nonsense
Cartwheels in my stomach when you walk in
When you got your arms around me
Oh, it feels so good
I had to hit the octave
I think I got an ex, but I forgot him
And I can't find my chill, I must've lost it
I don't even know, I'm talkin' nonsense (Oh-oh)
I'm talkin', I'm talkin', I'm talkin'

(Bridge)
I'm talkin', I'm talkin', I'm talkin'
(Blah-blah, blah-blah)
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah (Ah-ah)
I don't even know anymore

(Outro)
This song catchier than chickenpox is
I bet your house is where my other sock is
Woke up this morning, thought I'd write a pop hit
How quickly can you take your clothes off? Pop quiz
That one's not gonna make it
Most of these aren't gonna make it—
