Madison Beer's new Locket Tour has barely begun, but social media is already flooded with side-by-side comparisons toSabrina Carpenter's wildly popular 'Short n' Sweet' Tour.
After Madison opened the tour in Kraków, Poland, fans quickly began posting clips comparing the stage layouts, pastel merch, retro-glam outfits and theatrical staging. Some accused the singer of copying Sabrina Carpenter's entire era, while others argued both pop stars simply pull from the same vintage-inspired aesthetic that has dominated pop culture in recent years.
One of the biggest talking points online has been the overall look of Madison Beer's Locket Tour stage. Fans compared its dreamy pastel lighting, feminine styling and vintage-inspired details toSabrina Carpenter's 'Short n' Sweet' set design.
While Sabrina's tour leaned heavily into a glamorous penthouse fantasy, Madison's production appears more carnival-inspired with darker romantic touches. Still, TikTok users said the soft blue tones, ribbons and old-Hollywood atmosphere felt 'way too familiar.'

Social media users immediately zoomed in on the staircases featured in both tours. Sabrina Carpenter's show famously used dramatic, elevated staircases and multi-level staging throughout the performance.

Madison's tour also includes curved staircases and balcony-like platforms.
Another viral comparison centred on tour merchandise.
