Nicole Kidman was placed under “arrest” during Sabrina Carpenter’s concert on Tuesday night (November 4) at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee.
Carpenter nodded to Kidman’s iconic AMC Theatre commercial, which spotlights the experience of movie “magic” in theaters, as she made her signature “arrest” on stage.
“We come to this arena for magic, right?” Carpenter said to her cheering crowd. “Oh my goodness. Speaking of magic,” — sirens sounded as red and blue lights began flashing on stage — “oh my goodness. I expected to find love, but not my soulmate.”
The camera focused on Kidman with the words “YOU’RE UNDER ARREST FOR BEING TOO HOT,” on the arena screens.
“What is your name?” Carpenter asked, and repeated Kidman’s responses into the microphone. “Nicole! Nicole, where are you from? You’re from Nashville. Originally you’re from Australia, but you live in Nashville, which means if things work out between us, then I guess I’m moving to Nashville. You’re so — oh, Babygirl, I don’t know what to do.”
Carpenter handed Kidman the pink handcuffs and dedicated her next song, “Juno,” to the Oscar-winning actress. Kidman shared a clip of that moment on Instagram, and wrote in her caption: “Thank you [Sabrina Carpenter] for arresting me 💕 Call me when you move to Nashville.”
Kidman’s “arrest” at Carpenter’s Nashville concert arrives shortly after she filed to divorce country star Keith Urban, ending the marriage after nearly two decades. The Babygirl star reportedly cited “irreconcilable differences” when she filed on September 30. The couple apparently separated at the beginning of summer. Urban recently took the stage at Bridgestone Arena on his “High and Alive Tour,” where he helped a fan announce her pregnancy. He fell backward on stage when she warned that he wouldn’t like her name: “It’s Nicole.” Kidman and Urban met at a gala in 2005 in Los Angeles, California, and got married the following year, on June 25, 2006, in Sydney, Australia. They share daughters Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14.
