The pop sensation looked in her element as she took to the stage with confidence, performing a slew of best hits including her latest banger Espresso.

Sabrina displayed her dance moves while also delighting fans with her incredible vocal skills on some of her hits including Vicious, Read Your Mind and Tornado Warnings.

The Pennsylvania-born superstar sent fans into frenzy with her vibrant performance – as she keeps making the most of her glory after her latest single Espresso topped charts as UK number one single, even outclassing Taylor Swift.

Sabrina recently opened up about her ‘fun’ and ‘messy’ love life as she gave an insight into her romance with Barry.

The singer and Dunkirk actor were first linked in September 2023, but made their red carpet debut at the Met Gala earlier this month. 

Sabrina has now said she ‘really connects with people who are in touch with their emotions’ as discussed her romance with Cosmopolitan magazine. 

When it comes to dating, Sabrina said: ‘A lot of it, for me, has been fate. I know that’s super broad, but I don’t actively look for it. 

‘The relationships that I actually want to put my energy into have to be so interesting or invigorating because they take me away from the other things I love. So yeah, it’s fun and it’s messy.’

The songstress revealed she is ‘attracted’ to someone who becomes her ‘best friend’ and can bring a lot of ‘energy and humour’ to a relationship.  

Discussing her type, Sabrina added: ‘I’m super attracted to a lot of the things I look for in friends because I want to be with someone who’s going to be one of my best friends. So a lot of it is energy and humour and being genuine. I will say I’ve always connected more with people who are really in touch with their emotions.’

Sabrina was first linked to Barry last September but they didn’t make their first public appearance together until the December. 

In February, the couple confirmed their romance as they posed at a Grammys afterparty together after posing separately next to each other on the red carpet.

Earlier this month, Barry threw Sabrina a lavish 25th birthday party complete with an hilarious meme birthday cake of Leonardo DiCaprio. 

The singer enjoyed a party with 100 of her friends thrown by the Saltburn actor at DUMBO House in Brooklyn.

Barry has also supported Sabrina at a number of her gigs including her first at Coachella music festival.

Barry was previously in a relationship with Alyson Kierans, who he welcomed a son with called Brando in August 2022. The pair are thought to have broken up over the summer of last year.

When Barry was asked about the split in GQ early this year, he said only that Alyson had ‘done a great job and she’s an incredible mother.’

Sabrina, meanwhile, saw her dating life become a hot topic during the summer of 2020, when she was rumoured to be in a love triangle with Joshua Bassett and his High School Musical: The Musical: The Series co-star Olivia Rodrigo.

The following year, Olivia poured fuel on the fire by releasing her runaway smash hit single Driver’s License, which was widely thought to be about Joshua and Sabrina.

‘And you’re probably with that blonde girl, who always made me doubt. She’s so much older than me,’ sang Olivia, who is nearly four years younger than Sabrina.

In the interim, Sabrina has at various stages been linked to such names as pop act Shawn Mendes, Teen Wolf actor Dylan O’Brien and YouTuber David Dobrik.
