Overview
- Sheryl Crow introduced Carpenter before a four-song appearance on Oct. 7 at the Opry House.
- She reworked “Please Please Please,” premiered “Go Go Juice,” added “Slim Pickins,” and closed with “Manchild,” backed by Opry band instrumentation including fiddle, banjo and pedal steel.
- Carpenter delivered mostly clean lyric edits suited to the venue’s family standards and told the crowd she was doing the radio-friendly versions.
- She performed in an archival black Bob Mackie gown originally designed for Ann‑Margret in the 1970s, a detail the designer confirmed.
- She saluted influences like Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn and Dolly Parton, and is slated to return to Nashville for Nov. 4–5 shows at Bridgestone Arena.
