Footage shared on Twitter shows Carpenter, 25, screaming and covering her mouth as she clambered down a platform while the pyrotechnics lit up around her.

She appeared frightened and ran to another section of the stage as dancers continued to perform around her, with some reports suggesting she may have been 'hit in the chest' by the firework.

However, Carpenter is said to have come away from the incident without injury and chose to ignore the incident when she later posted about her performance on social media.

Alongside images shared on Instagram, the singer wrote: "Headlined Outside Lands. Thank you to everyone who came.

"Special thank you to the angel that is Kacey Musgraves for coming out to sing and dance to Nancy Sinatra with me. And thank you to my whole team and crew.

"All the talented people who made this show happen on and off stage, I love you all so much."

Though Carpenter appeared to be unscathed by the firework mishap, her fans were left concerned after the footage emerged online.

A number of people responded to the incident on Twitter, with one writing: "Wait omg I think Sabrina Carpenter got hurt and burned by the fireworks!!"

Another concerned viewer added: "THATS A HORROR MOVIE SCREAM IS SHE OKAY [sic]."

"She almost got burned," wrote a third.

Carpenter's performance in San Francisco marked her first-ever festival headlining set and featured a special appearance from country star Kacey Musgraves, who duetted with Carpenter on a cover of 'These Boots Are Made for Walkin''.

Musgraves quoted Carpenter's hit song 'Espresso' as she shared a post about the performance afterwards, writing: "We were working late ‘cause we are singers. Last night was a short n sweet little dream. ily @sabrinacarpenter. Thanks for having meeee."

Following her headline gig, Carpenter will take on the world on her Short n' Sweet Tour which will see her perform in countries including the US, France, Scotland, the Netherlands and Spain.

Sharing her excitement about going global, Carpenter wrote on Instagram: "Soooo excited to bring the Short n’ Sweet Tour to Europe & the UK!!"

Carpenter will be joined on her tour by singer-songwriter Rachel Chinouriri.
