JAKARTA - The impression moment occurred at the Lollapalooza 2025 when Sabrina Carpenter, who appeared as a headliner, presented Earth, Wind & Fire (EWF) as a surprise.
In front of tens of thousands of spectators, Sabrina Carpenter and EWF performed "Let's Groove" and "September".
But following the performance, Philip Bailey of EWF said his band had only received notification the day before their big moment on stage came true.
The Sabrina Carpenter team invited the icons from the 1970s to the 1980s, flew them to Chicago on private planes, and hosted them for training. Everything happened within 24 hours.
"We have to really change this situation," Bailey said, quoted by Vulture, Friday, August 8.

"We got on the plane at seven in the morning, entered, and practiced," Bailey continued. "Very fast and a bit vague. I was almost worried. But that night, they were ready, and (Carpenter) was already thinking about the verse of the song he was going to perform.
In the end, Bailey said, all EWF personnel appeared and enjoyed all the energy on stage.
"He is very friendly, very kind, and very easy to approach," Bailey said.
Although he admitted that he had not heard the song Sabrina Carpenter other than Espresso, Bailey praised how the 26-year-old singer's energy was.
"Our energy and energy are very harmonious and complementary. How he arranges the show, in terms of how he accelerates and develops, it's fantastic," Bailey said.
