Madison Beer has been receiving criticism for “The Locket Tour” being similarly themed to Sabrina Carpenter’s “Short n’ Sweet Tour”

      I love Madison and she’s one of my favourites but these do look basically the same🫤 I don’t think that’s a bad thing but I find it crazy that her team signed off on the tour design. There’s no way it isn’t modelled after Sabrina’s. The sets are clearly extremely similar.

    2. Generally speaking, I’m very much an “everyone has different taste in music” person, but for the life of me I cannot figure out the Madison Beer hype. She’s gorgeous (in an uncanny valley way) and seems perfectly nice, but she has absolutely no charisma to me and the music just isn’t good enough to explain this level of fame. I genuinely don’t understand how she became as huge as she is.

      Not surprising at all. Madison Beer has never had her own musical identity. She has no originality

    4. i find these all very common designs actually? i went to flo’s concert a few months back and they did the curtain thing too (incredible show btw)

      What company is she renting the stage from? Few own their own touring companies. It might be the same stage just mixed up a little.

      Kali Uchis had a similar set in 2023. It’s just stairs and a balcony

      ok not speaking on the set designs but that’s a fairly common tee shirt design. i have a very similar baby blue tee shirt with neil young’s face on it lol

      You can probably do this with every major artist and their sets. Set designs, as creative as they can be, are very limiting due to the parameters they have to work in. And ofc her tour tshirts are going to be her tour theme. Sabrina wasn’t the first to do it and Madison won’t be the last lol

      Not to be rude to Ms Beer but I have heard the name Madison Beer at least once a year since I think Vine was a thing (a decade??) and she seems to be doing well? But I have no idea who she is???? I have never heard a single one of her songs???

      I’ve seen so many artists with these backgrounds. One set is literally princess themed while the other is not also.. idk this is dumb

    11. thoseguyshatedme on

      Oof. I mean that was a really fun tour – I understand why she/her team would wanna do something similar but this is just crazy. Some of the comments here are making it seem like it’s just the stage but it also seems like it has similar production and camera operations too?? Just going off the pics here

      I have no idea who Madison Beer is but if you showed me the top photos without any context I would’ve totally thought they were from Sabrina’s tour

    13. HarveySpevacuum on

      Similar? Yes. But that’s a generational thing… the way that Christina and Britney looked alike. Or Avril and idk… Ashley Simpson… neither one invented the wheel and very likely have no input in their looks or images either. Let’s be real.

    14. There’s only so many ways to do this kind of themeing and this is hardly original to Sabrina.

      I like Maddison, but she doesn’t really have a stylistic identity of her own. So this isn’t really surprising. I hope she finds one though, I think she’s talented and seems to be genuinely passionate about music.

    16. sitoverherebyme on

      I mean… I guess? Madison’s just looks worse, so it doesn’t really compare to them. I could see the comparison of Sabrina’s being like the Broadway full budget version, and Madison’s is like that cheaper low budget local theater production.

      I don’t think you really get them confused when they’re not side by side

      To me, having never seen footage of Madison Beer’s tour, I feel like from these pictures her set kinda looks like fairy tale princess vibes while during the Short n’Sweet tour I rember thinking Sabrina’s felt very Barbie Dreamhouse. I guess both appeal to girlhood, but I think they have slightly different aesthetics (which you can even see on the t shirts in slide three). Also, it feels totally normal to me to see two singers sing lying down or to see two pop stars put their face on their t shirts

    18. To be fair Madison Beer has been doing the pastel corset, ribbon in hair aesthetic for a while but tbh it never stuck aaand SC blew up so that look has been associated with SC

    19. walkingtalkingdread on

      sorry but the t-shirts just made me laugh. we’re gatekeeping colors?

    20. Similar in what way???, cause these two look nothing alike from the fact they have similar colours and a circular platform….

      Has anyone looked into who did the stage design? It looks to ms like they hired the same person or company to design and plan, and they are reheating nachos here.

    22. sweetpeaandhoney on

      I’m not trying to be rude, just wanna be honest. I can’t name 1 Madison Beer song. Not even a feature that I know of.

    23. olivehoneyfig on

      she’s never beating the allegations of having no personal identity or brand

    24. stairs, balconies, aerial shots, heart motifs, dancing behind a curtain. seen this done a million times by britney, gaga, beyonce, janet, etc. none of this belongs to sabrina.

    25. Ok_Astronomer5738 on

      Damn I thought Madison Beer had a huge fanbase but no one seems to know who she is. And I like her… even though I do have some questions 

    26. umamiflavour on

      Tbf madison beer has been doing this aesthetic far longer than sabrina has lmfao

    27. CheapEater101 on

      First time hearing that Madison Beer actually has enough material to go on tour. I remember when they tried to associate her with Justin Bieber back when she was a teenager and her musical career never really took off.

    28. mal-bon-tee on

      not even a madison stan, but she’s been doing this aesthetic for a while now and every single one of these shots are not original and have been done by several artists. why is it such a problem for artists to be inspired by each other? this is not copying and madison has been doing this😭 this extra feminine and sexy aesthetic is not new at all

    29. thatsprettyfunnydude on

      That’s definitely derivative, and a little awkward because I think Sabrina’s tour ended pretty recently and there is probably a shared/overlap in fanbase. That said, I’m older so I’ve seen these motifs a lot over the years by many performers so I don’t think it deserves ringing an alarm, necessarily.

      Also just throwing it out there, but it is entirely possible that inactive touring set pieces, stages, lighting rigs, (maybe even crew) are re-used on other tours.

    30. I was skeptical about the similarities at first, but this is a LOT of similar elements all together… Definitely a huge oversight if it isn’t a blatant rip off

    31. The coping in these comments are hilarious. White knighters never stop. Admit its lack of originality, short-sightedness, & lack of true brand identity. And these have *always* been the problem with Madison, it’s thee reason she hasn’t blown up. This is the core of her issue with the public. Forgettable and seen before.
