Get ready for a wild ride as we dive into the world of celebrity antics! The 'Stranger Things' star Joe Keery, also known as Djo, found himself in a unique situation during Sabrina Carpenter's ACL Fest set.
Keery, who has become a viral sensation, added another memorable moment to his repertoire when he was 'arrested' on stage by Carpenter. But here's where it gets controversial... it was all part of Carpenter's signature 'cuffing season' routine!
During her Austin City Limits performance on October 4, Carpenter brought Keery into the spotlight just before performing her song 'Juno.' With her iconic pink fluffy handcuffs at the ready, Carpenter asked Keery his name and origin, to which he replied, 'Boston.' She playfully suggested it sounded similar to Austin, setting the stage for their playful interaction.
Carpenter then dropped the cuffing season line, and Keery, without a moment's hesitation, offered his wrists. Carpenter's reaction was priceless as she exclaimed, 'You seem very eager! This is so rare. You're the one, Joe!'
This lighthearted segment has become a staple of Carpenter's Short n' Sweet Tour, where she 'arrests' special guests before performing 'Juno.' Previous participants include notable names like Millie Bobby Brown, Ayo Edebiri, and members of the K-pop group TWICE. Keery joins this exclusive club, willingly surrendering to Carpenter's charming bit.
But wait, there's more! Carpenter surprised the crowd further by bringing out country legend Shania Twain for a duet of her hit 'That Don't Impress Me Much.' This unexpected collaboration made Carpenter's ACL set one of the weekend's most talked-about performances.
After the show, fans couldn't help but notice the Instagram follow-spree between Keery and Carpenter, sparking dating rumors. One fan gushed, 'Joe Keery and Sabrina Carpenter would make the cutest couple, it's giving me serious feels!'
And this is the part most people miss... the internet went wild with shipping and speculation! Fans couldn't resist imagining the potential romance, with one tweeting, 'From Barry Keoghan to Joe Keery? Let's make it happen!'
