Sabrina Carpenter is currently in Toronto as part of her Short N’ Sweet concert tour. The pop superstar will perform at Scotiabank Theatre tonight, but prior to her performance, the singer is taking time to explore the city โ including making a pit stop at Kops Records on Queen Street West, one of the cityโs oldest independent vinyl record stores.
โ@sabrinacarpenter just came by ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญThank you for your love and support!โ ย a Kops Records employee posted to Instagram on Tuesday, alongside selfies of the employee with the “Espresso”ย hitmaker.

Another gushed, โthis is so iconic wow!โ
Others referred to Carpenter as their โcomfort pop starโ and to Kops as their โcomfort record storeโ while more than a few simply commented with “OMG.”
The Instagram post also includes a shot of a signed copy of Carpenterโs Short n’ Sweet album, with the message, “I [heart] Kops Records.”
Earlier this month, Carpenterโs Short nโ Sweet debuted at number one on Billboard 200, earning 362,000 equivalent album units in the United States in the week ending Aug. 29, according to Billboard, making it the yearโs third-largest debut. The album also has chart-topping songs, like โEspressoโ and “Please Please Please” โ and Carpenter fans will likely get to hear them tonight during her performance!
If you want to check out Kops Records, they have three locations: ย 395 Queen St. W., which is a short walk from Osgoode station and houses North America’s largest collection of rare and northern soul 45s; 209 Danforth Ave., which features a “Backroom Records” section for new record releases (they also buy records at this location); and 34 King St E, Oshawa, filled with collectibles and new releases.
