Nicole Kidman ‘arrested’ on stage at Sabrina Carpenter’s Nashville Short n’ Sweet concert

Nicole Kidman has officially joined the lineup of stars “arrested” for being too hot.

At Sabrina Carpenter’s latest concert in Nashville, the Oscar winner was singled out during Carpenter’s tongue-in-cheek skit, just before the pop star’s performance of Juno.

“Oh my goodness,” Carpenter told the crowd as red and blue police lights washed over the stage.

“I expected to find love, but not my soulmate. What is your name?”

Kidman, 58, appeared on the big screen front and centre at the Bridgestone Arena, dressed in a cherry-red top with her signature blonde bangs.

“Nicole”, she replied.

“Nicole, where are you from?” Carpenter asked, smiling.

“Oh, 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.”

Kidman laughed and mouthed “come on” as the crowd erupted.

The pop star then asked the actress if she’d “do the honour of being (Carpenter’s) one and only ‘Juno’”, referencing the viral bit that has become a hallmark of Short n’ Sweet tour.

Other celebrities caught up in the mock arrests include Drew Barrymore, Anne Hathaway, Corey Fogelmanis, Gigi Hadid and Emma Burton.

Fans screamed as Kidman leaned into the flirtatious energy, smiling and waving as Carpenter presented her with a pair of pink fluffy handcuffs.

Before the moment, Carpenter teased the crowd: “Well, you know what they say about Nashville? We come to this arena for magic.”

The line was a playful nod to Kidman’s now-iconic AMC cinema ad, where she famously says, “We come to this place for magic.”

Carpenter also slipped in a cheeky “baby girl” reference to Kidman’s R-rated thriller, keeping the crowd roaring.

Kidman later took to Instagram, sharing the viral video, with the caption, “Thank you so much for arresting me. Call me when you move to Nashville”.

The lighthearted exchange came just months after Kidman filed for divorce from country star Keith Urban, making her Nashville appearance all the more headline-worthy.

News of their separation in late September shocked fans around the world, but an insider has suggested it might not be over.

“She would get back with him in a heartbeat,” a source who has reportedly known Kidman for decades told the Daily Mail.

The same source claims the couple had been working through some marital issues and were “getting it back together” when Urban suddenly pulled the plug.

At the time, those close to the Oscar-winning star said she was blindsided by Urban’s decision to end their 19-year marriage.

“Nicole’s hurt and feels betrayed,” an insider told People.

“She wanted to save their marriage and believed that she could, but it seems he’s already moved on.”

It has been speculated that Urban’s guitarist, Maggie Baugh, might be the mystery woman after the musician changed lyrics to his love song Fighter, which was believed to have been inspired by Kidman.
