Nicole Kidman has once again captured the spotlight, but this time the reason is delightfully different.
During Sabrina Carpenter’s first of two sold-out performances at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena on November 4, the actress found herself in a playful predicament, donning pink fluffy handcuffs.
Kidman, who recently announced the end of her marriage to country star Keith Urban in September, became part of Carpenter’s comedic skit. In this routine, the singer humorously ‘arrests’ audience members deemed ‘too hot.’
Captured on video accepting the handcuffs when invited on stage, the 58-year-old actress later posed with the novelty item for an Instagram photo shared by Carpenter with her 49 million followers.
The 26-year-old singer, who is wrapping up her Short n’ Sweet Tour across North America and Europe, expressed gratitude to Kidman for her good-natured participation in the fun.
Captioning the post, she wrote: ‘2 sold out nights in Nashville couldn’t have been sweeter. thank you for coming and singing louder than i could ever imagine + thank you @nicolekikidman for letting me flirt with you in front of so many people.’

Carpenter, who has previously arrested Anne Hathaway, Gigi Hadid and Margaret Qualley on stage, stuck to her usual script by asking for the actress’s name and where she lives.
The Big Little Lies star responded that she lived locally, having moved to Tennessee with her country singer ex Urban and their two children years earlier.
Carpenter replied: ‘But you live in Nashville, so if things work out between us, then I guess I’m moving to Nashville.’
Referencing one of Kidman’s recent movie releases, she added: ‘You’re so Babygirl, I don’t know what to do.’
Carpenter also asked the actress – who was in on the joke – to be her latest ‘Juno girl,’ referencing the tune from her Short n’ Sweet album that regularly features a celebrity arrest in concert.
Kidman shocked her fans when she announced her split from Urban and filed for divorce on September 30, citing ‘irreconcilable differences.’
The actress is also facing a new ‘dynamic’ with her two daughters amid her shock split. She shares Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret, 14, with the country singer.

While the Oscar winner is in a ‘good headspace’ as she moves on, the estranged couple have also been facing challenges.
‘The hardest part is navigating the dynamic with their daughters,’ a source recently told Us Weekly.
‘The last thing Nicole wanted was a broken family,’ the insider added before further expressing that Kidman ‘raised her daughters to be strong and is leading by example for them.’
The Babygirl actress has started to ‘focus on creating new traditions with her daughters and keeping their home life as steady and loving as possible.’
Kidman herself is in a ‘good headspace and has been very positive’ amid the divorce while also keeping busy.
The insider told the outlet that the star ‘isn’t necessarily trying to find her new normal throughout all of this, because they had been quietly separated for a while now.’
It was also revealed: ‘This next chapter feels more like a transition than a shock.’
