Sabrina Carpenter is Miss Piggy's twin in new 'Muppet Show' teaser
The 'Manchild' singer is making a 'short n' sweet' appearance alongside Miss Piggy in Disney's upcoming special.
Disney has released the teaser for the long-awaited 'The Muppet Show' special event, and it features an A-list musical guest.
Sabrina Carpenter is set to make a cameo appearance in the special, which is scheduled to premiere on Disney+ in February.
The teaser shows the 'Espresso' hitmaker giving Miss Piggy, one of the show's iconic characters, a pep talk.
"You're an icon," she tells the muppet. Miss Piggy replies, "You're too sweet. Go on."
Another scene shows Carpenter and Miss Piggy wearing matching pale pink outfits.
"It's The Muppet Show! Kermit, Miss Piggy and the beloved Muppet gang are back with a brand-new special event. Music, comedy, and a whole lot of chaos is bound to ensue when The Muppets once again take the stage of the original Muppet Theatre with their very special guest, Sabrina Carpenter!" Disney said.
Actor Seth Rogen also makes an appearance in the upcoming special, which also features Kermit the Frog, Fozzie Bear, and Gonzo. Rogan and Carpenter are also executive producers.
"Sabrina & Miss Piggy are the perfect duo," a YouTuber said.
An X user wrote, "I’m excited to see what this iconic duo will be up to. Welcome back, Muppets!"

The teaser clip comes several weeks after Carpenter "arrested" Miss Piggy during the final show of her 'Short n' Sweet Tour' in Los Angeles.
Before singing her song 'Juno', the 26-year-old handcuffs a lucky audience member.
She arrested several celebrities during her shows, including Nicole Kidman, Anne Hathaway, SZA, Millie Bobby Brown, Gigi Hadid, and Spice Girls star Emma Bunton.
It's part of her concert segment called 'Cuffing Season'. Miss Piggy was thrilled to be arrested and told Carpenter that she was loving the show.
