To date, Sabrina has performed ABBA's 'Mamma Mia' the most. As for the least, Shania Twain's 'That Don't Impress Me Much', Olivia Newton John's 'Hopelessly Devoted To You', Rick James' 'Super Freak', Labelle's 'Lady Marmalde' and her songs 'Paris' and 'Couldn't Make It Any Harder' have only been sung once.

Will Sabrina Carpenter change her surprise songs?

Based on Sabrina's performance in Baltimore, Maryland, it seems as though Sabrina will edit her four surprise cover songs throughout the Short n' Sweet Tour. In Baltimore, she switched her own song 'Busy Woman' with Madonna's 'Material Girl' and she's since performed 'Material Girl' and 'Busy Woman' multiple times.

Sabrina also changed over Shania Twain's 'That Don't Impress Me Much' to Dolly Parton's '9 to 5' as Song Two in Nashville, Tennessee. Sabrina hasn't performed 'That Don't Impress Me Much' since so it's possible that it's a permanent switch.

For Halloween, Sabrina dressed up as Sandy from Grease and sang Olivia Newton John's 'Hopelessly Devoted To You' and, for LA, Sabrina brought out Christina Aguilera as a guest to sing 'Ain't No Other Man' and 'What a Girl Wants'.

On her final night in Inglewood, California, Sabrina switched ABBA's 'Mamma Mia' for Rick James' 'Super Freak' but she's since made 'Mamma Mia' her Song Four now that 'Busy Woman' is on the main setlist.

Most recently, Sabrina has switched Sixpence None The Richer's 'Kiss Me' to her song '15 Minutes', 'Super Freak' to her song 'Bad Reviews ' and '9 to 5' to her song 'Couldn't Make It Any Harder' in Dublin and London.

Sabrina also performed Dexy Midnight Runners' 'Come On Eileen' instead of 'Couldn't Make It Any Harder' on her second night in London and her song 'Paris' and Labelle's 'Lady Marmalade' in Paris.
