Ian Munsick is turning heads with his Western rendition of Sabrina Carpenter’s massive hit, “Espresso.”
The Wyoming native has become known for his energetic live shows and knack for creating country and western versions of popular songs.

In the past, he’s shared countrified covers of songs like “Toxic” by Britney Spears and “Dreams” by Fleetwood Mac. Most recently, during a stop on his headlining the Horses Are Faster Tour, Munsick offered his take on one of the biggest songs of 2024, “Espresso.” Fans have even deemed him “the king of covers.”
Adding his signature Western flair to the popular song, Munsick told the crowd, “A little Sabrina Carpenter! We’re staying up late tonight, baby!”

The crowd cheered and sang along and later erupted when Munsick and his band added some signature dance moves into the performance.
This version of “Espresso” was met with praise after Munsick shared a snippet of the performance on social media.

“Someone had to do it,” he captioned the post.
Comments flooded his post with fans applauding the performance.
“This is probably one of the more iconic things I’ve ever seen live,” one concertgoer declared, while another shared, “I didn’t know I needed this in my life till right now.”
“Espresso” became a giant hit for Carpenter and currently has 1.9 billion streams on Spotify alone.

Ian Munsick is currently touring in support of his Horses Are Faster Tour, with special guests Clay Street Unit, Bayker Blankenship, Colby Acuff, Kashus Culpepper, Hudson Westbrook, Chayce Beckham, and Jake Worthington.
