This lively moment gave fans a glimpse of Carpenter’s recurring event featuring several high-profile attendees, reinforcing the entertainment buzz around the phrase Anne Hathaway Arrested NYC.
Playful Interaction with Anne Hathaway at MSG
During the concert, Carpenter spotlighted Hathaway on the venue’s big screen, remarking,
“It’s a crime to be this gorgeous. Hello, what’s your name? You’re Anne, wow! I just don’t know what to do when I see a face like this,”
creating an intimate interaction with the actress. Hathaway engaged in the banter by referencing her famous role in The Princess Diaries, joking that she had traveled all the way from Genovia to attend the performance.
Responding to Hathaway’s roleplay, Carpenter added,
“Has anyone ever told you you look like a princess? I’m in the presence of a princess, I’m getting so flustered,”
followed by,
“Anne, can I arrest you for being the most perfect princess in the world?”
Before performing her song “Juno,” Carpenter handed the pink handcuffs to Hathaway, dedicating the moment with, “This one’s for Anne, everybody.”
