Carpenter has already performed as one of three headliners at weekend one of the California music festival, and is set to return for the second weekend in a few hours time.

Last weekend, she brought out Susan Sarandon for a reflective monologue about show business, and Will Ferrell also made a guest appearance, playing a disgruntled electrician who was called to fix a stage lighting outage.

Now, as fans speculate about what she has planned for the second weekend of Coachella, rumours have begun swirling that she will introduce Madonna to the stage as a special guest.

Nothing has been confirmed at time of writing, but some are still thinking that the collaboration could happen as Madonna recently made headlines by announcing her first new album in seven years.

The Queen of Pop is set to drop the long-anticipated sequel to’ Confessions On A Dance Floor’ this summer – with ‘Confessions II’ being announced this week and arriving on July 3.

This, some think, would be the perfect opportunity to make a surprise guest appearance at Coachella.

“Rumour is she’s Sabrina’s special guest,” one person wrote on Reddit, adding that Carpenter seems to have “10 extra minutes” allocated to her for weekend two.

“Probably a special thing for her new album ‘Confessions On A Dance Floor II’,” another chimed in, highlighting that she “surprised” fans in 2006 when she played a show in the Sahara Tent instead of the main stage to help celebrate her initial ‘Confessions’ album.

“She’s gonna make a surprise appearance on Sabrina Carpenter’s set,” a third wrote, and someone else chimed in: “Yes, a friend of mine that lives in Palm Springs told me the same. She will be singing with Sabrina.”

People have also been speculating on X/Twitter about a collaboration between the two pop stars at the festival this weekend.

One fan page for the ‘Vogue’ singer shared images and alleged that it was Madonna preparing for a performance with Carpenter, as well as suggesting that the two of them have a joint song coming out at some point soon.

“Speculation regarding Madonna’s return predicts a single in collaboration with Sabrina Carpenter and, in turn, forecasts a joint performance at Sabrina Carpenter’s Coachella show scheduled for Friday, April 17,” another page wrote. Find more speculation below.
