Sabrina Carpenter Dares to Dance: New Video Sparks Debate After Album Controversy
Sabrina Carpenter Strikes Back with Sultry New Music Video and a Sassy Message for Her Ex
The drama just got juicier! Sabrina Carpenter, 26, is taking center stage once again, this time with her provocative new music video for "Tears," the latest single from her upcoming album, Man's Best Friend. The pop sensation has been facing heat since the release of her album cover art, which some fans deemed too racy.
The talented singer-songwriter has never been one to shy away from controversy, and this time she's embracing it head-on with a sizzling music video that's got everyone talking. In the clip, Sabrina strips down to just stockings and suspenders as she takes on the world of pole dancing, writhing around on a stick like a pro.
But don't think for a second that this is all about the sensual vibes – Sabrina has a message for her ex, Barry Keoghan. The lyrics of "Tears" are a clear reference to their tumultuous relationship, with lines like: 'I get wet at the thought of you / Being a responsible guy, treating me like you’re supposed to do / Tears run down my thighs.'
It's been reported that Sabrina and Barry had a whirlwind romance, dating from December 2023 until they allegedly broke up in August. However, sources close to the couple claim they're still on-again, off-again, with their schedules being the main reason for their separation.
Insiders revealed that it was "challenging" for them to maintain a relationship given Sabrina's exploding career and constant touring. When asked about Barry by Rolling Stone, Sabrina dodged the question, saying: 'The [dating] pool is the pool, and when you meet people that feel authentic and are so brilliant and amazing in every way, that's what you do.'
But it seems like she's not letting him off scot-free. With her new music video, Sabrina is sending a clear message to Barry and everyone else who dares to doubt her: she's a force to be reckoned with.
The highly anticipated album Man's Best Friend has been in the works since June, and fans are eagerly waiting for its release. The lead single, "Manchild," co-written with Jack Antonoff (Taylor Swift's longtime collaborator), topped both the Spotify U.S. and Global charts in no time.
Sabrina's previous album, Short n' Sweet, broke records with 10 million copies sold worldwide and earned her six Grammy nominations as a first-time nominee. She won two awards for Best Pop Vocal Album and Best Pop Solo Performance for "Espresso."
It seems like Sabrina is on a roll, and she's not letting anyone or anything get in her way – including her ex. With this sultry new music video and the controversy surrounding it, one thing's for sure: Sabrina Carpenter is back, and she's here to stay.

Some fans took to social media to express their disappointment, calling it "pathetic" and saying that Sabrina looks "dumb." Others used more graphic language, with one comment reading: 'Dumpster humanity.'
But as always, there were some die-hard fans who defended Sabrina, praising her for pushing boundaries and being true to herself. One fan even exclaimed: 'Sabrina is coming for album of the year, artist of the year, pop vocal album, all of it and I’m here for it.'
Despite the mixed reactions, it's clear that Sabrina Carpenter is unapologetic about her art and her message. With Man's Best Friend, she's sending a clear signal: she's back, and she's not afraid to take risks.
In conclusion, Sabrina Carpenter's new music video for "Tears" is a sultry, sassy, and daring response to the controversy surrounding her album cover art.
