Carpenter didn’t arrive onstage until around 9 p.m. The concert was over a little after 11 p.m.

Though there were numerous clothes for sale at Carpenter’s merchandise stands, one item stood out to fans: a Pittsburgh-exclusive sweatshirt.

Costing $80, the royal blue sweatshirt with a printed “SABRINA” license plate on the front — and the top of the license plate said “Pittsburgh.”

At least one of the merch stands was sold out of the Pittsburgh sweatshirt before Carpenter even arrived onstage.
