The Toronto Maple Leafs found an unlikely source repping them on Monday night.
Sabrina Carpenter, the former Disney star turned global pop icon, was seen repping a pair of Leafs-branded custom silver boots on Monday night.
Bopping along to her hit-filled catalogue of songs like “Espresso” and “Juno,” Carpenter’s 24-song set appeared to wow the sold-out crowd.
We know that artists wearing the local team’s merch on stage doesn’t necessarily mean they have any real connection to the franchise, as it’s one of the oldest gimmicks in the book.
But Carpenter had an extended stay in the city while working on the 2019 film Work It.
Interestingly, it’s not the first time Carpenter has worn Leafs gear on stage — or even on this tour. Carpenter rocked a Leafs jersey on stage for a September 2024 show, with the pictures from that night still going viral every few months.
That show was part of the original leg of the Short n’ Sweet Tour, which was extended due to high ticket demand.
Carpenter returns to the Scotiabank Arena stage on Tuesday night for a second performance in a row, and we can only imagine what sort of sports-related outfits she might have cooked up for this one.
The Leafs, meanwhile, head to Boston Tuesday night to take on the rival Bruins and are looking to snap a two-game losing streak. There might not be any direct correlation, but perhaps they’ll be able to use the good luck vibes from Carpenter’s support to get them back on the winning track.
