In February 2026, Sabrina Carpenter became the first person in Muppet Show history to appear as both headline guest and executive producer of a Muppet special — and the story of how that happened starts six years earlier, with a Disney singalong nobody remembers.

Featuring: the 2026 Muppet Show special, Sabrina Carpenter's Short n' Sweet Tour, and what Rudolf Nureyev, Harry Belafonte, and Peter Sellers have to do with any of it.
