You know the drill by now. At every show, Sabrina Carpenter picks one person to cuff before she performs “Juno.” It’s playful, flirty, and often sparks speculation about who she might choose next.

Here’s Who Sabrina Carpenter Cuffed at ACL Weekend One

During weekend one of ACL Music Festival, Sabrina chose Joe Keery. The Stranger Things actor had played the festival earlier that day with his band Djo. The moment quickly made its way across social media and sparked a round of dating rumors. Deux Moi even posted a tip that the two were seen together at an Austin restaurant after the show. However, that was quickly debunked be someone who actually spotted her at Hestia with a hot blonde guy. We do know, however, that the two did start following each other on Instagram following their interaction at ACL.

Who Will Be Cuffed Next?

With Weekend Two of ACL Festival ahead, the guessing game begins again. Sabrina is once again sharing the American Express stage with rising star Doechii, whose energy and stage presence make her a strong contender. They align in both charisma and audience crossover. If Sabrina wants another memorable moment, choosing Doechii would be a logical pick.

Other potential female performers in the weekend lineup include Marina, Olivia Dean and Sydney Rose. Each brings a unique vibe that could spark the kind of moment fans love. However, the timing and stage logistics point most clearly to Doechii.

Austin Celebs Who May Be Victims

There is also the possibility that Sabrina might tap into Austin’s local fame pool as many, many celebs call Austin home. Glen Powell, a hometown favorite with national star power, has already been spotted around the city during the festival window. He checks every box for a crowd-pleasing cameo. Then there’s Matthew McConaughey, who has long been Austin’s unofficial mascot. His appearance would instantly blow up social media. And there’s always Jared Padalecki. Best known as the grumpy-yet-lovable Dean from Gilmore Girls, he also happens to live in the ATX.

If Sabrina is looking to create a viral moment, any of these options could help deliver it. At the end of the day, Sabrina’s choice is always unpredictable. That unpredictability is part of the charm. Whether it is a fellow artist or a surprise local cameo, all eyes will be on the Juno” intro again this weekend.
