Sabrina Carpenter delighted fans with an unforgettable Girl Meets World reunion, bringing co-star Corey Fogelmanis on stage for her signature ‘arrest’ bit during her New York City concert, rekindling the beloved Maya and Farkle dynamic for a night of pure nostalgia.
The stage of Sabrina Carpenter’s New York City concert on October 29, 2025, became a portal to cherished memories for Girl Meets World fans. In a move that sent the audience into a frenzy, Carpenter, known for her playful onstage antics, brought her former co-star Corey Fogelmanis into the spotlight for her now-famous “arrest” tradition.
This heartwarming reunion not only showcased the enduring friendship between the two stars but also provided a nostalgic trip for legions of fans who grew up watching them on the Disney Channel. Carpenter’s humorous “arrest” ritual, where she selects an audience member for being “hot,” took a special turn with Fogelmanis, igniting conversations across social media about the beloved series.
A Nostalgic Night in NYC: The “Arrest” Unfolds
The electrifying moment unfolded as the “Tears” singer, 26, searched the crowd for her next “arrestee.” When the camera landed on Fogelmanis, also 26, Carpenter exclaimed, “I think I just found him. Oh s—-, we got to arrest him. He’s so pretty. I’m obsessed.” The audience erupted in cheers, recognizing the familiar face from their favorite teenage sitcom.
Sticking to her flirty ritual, Carpenter asked Fogelmanis his name and origin. She then playfully inquired, “Are you single?” to which Fogelmanis responded with a cheeky “No.” Carpenter, undeterred, joked, “Wow, no one’s actually ever said that. I don’t really know what to do now other than just be like, maybe this is our little secret right now and you guys don’t tell anyone.”
The exchange culminated with Carpenter asking, “But Corey, just for this evening, can we have some fun? Will you be my ‘Juno’ boy tonight?” Fogelmanis happily accepted, holding up his hands for the iconic pink fuzzy handcuffs. Before being cuffed, he added a touch of old-school charm by kissing Carpenter’s hand, a gesture that sent the crowd into a rapturous applause.
This viral moment perfectly blended Carpenter’s current tour persona with a beloved piece of her past, demonstrating her deep connection to her fans and her former castmates. After the playful arrest, Carpenter returned to the stage to perform her song “Juno” from her 2024 album, Short n’ Sweet.
