Sabrina Carpenter is repping her hometown in style.

During the pop superstar’s Short n’ Sweet Tour stop at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia on Tuesday night, Carpenter stepped onstage to perform “Espresso” in a bedazzled Philadelphia Phillies jersey with her name on the back, along with the fittingly cheeky number 69.

“Hometown show!!! I can’t believe I played the arena I grew up going to,” she wrote on her Instagram Stories before taking the stage. The singer grew up in Quakertown, Pa., which is about 40 miles north of Philadelphia. Carpenter’s Phillies jersey was also fitting, given that the team was up against the New York Mets in the National League Division Series — though the team ultimately lost a season-ending game on Wednesday (Oct. 9).

Earlier this week, Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet returned atop the Billboard 200, after it previously reigned at No. 1 for three consecutive weeks. Featuring hits like “Please Please Please,” “Espresso” and “Taste,” the LP is the Girl Meets World alum’s first No. 1 album and sold 362,000 equivalent album units in its first week.

Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet Tour will continue to travel across the U.S. and Canada through mid-November, with stops in Montreal, Chicago, Nashville, Atlanta, Dallas, Vancouver, Seattle, San Diego and Phoenix before winding down Nov. 15 at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
