SABRINA CARPENTER UNLEASHES HER WILD SIDE: SINGER SPARKS CONTROVERSY WITH NEW ALBUM COVER AND RAUNCHY STAGE PRESENCE

The pop star is making headlines again, this time for her provocative new album cover and raunchy stage antics. Sabrina Carpenter's upcoming seventh studio album, "Man's Best Friend," has been making waves with its explicit imagery, featuring the 26-year-old singer kneeling beside a suited man with a fistful of her hair.

But it seems like no one is more shocked than social media users, who have been quick to call out Carpenter for objectifying herself on stage and in her music. When user @esotericsoul777 asked "Does she have a personality outside of sex?" the singer fired back with a cheeky response: "Girl, yes! And it's goooooood."

Carpenter has been open about her desire to push boundaries and challenge societal norms through her art. She has received criticism for her simulated sex positions on stage while performing her hit song "Juno" during her Short n' Sweet Tour. However, the singer remains unapologetic, telling Rolling Stone: "It's always so funny to me when people complain... They're like, 'All she does is sing about this.' But those are the songs that you've made popular. Clearly you love sex. You're obsessed with it. It's in my show."

The two-time Grammy winner also addressed the irony of her critics' comments, saying: "I find humor and irony in all of that, because it seems to be a recurring theme... I'm not upset about it, other than I feel mad pressure to be funny sometimes." Carpenter has always been known for her confidence and willingness to take risks, but this latest controversy is sure to spark debate among fans and critics alike.

Despite the backlash, Carpenter's career continues to soar. Her new single "Manchild" debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, making it her third consecutive number one hit. The singer took to social media to express her gratitude to her co-producers Jack Antonoff and Amy Allen, saying: "I love ya @jackantonoff @amyallen! This song makes me so happy... Thank you eternally for listening!"

Carpenter's success can be attributed in part to her savvy business moves. The singer has a lucrative partnership with Versace, and boasts an impressive 105.3M social media followers. Her net worth is estimated to be around $20 million.

But Sabrina's rise to fame wasn't always smooth sailing. Born in Pennsylvania to a family of modest means, Carpenter had to teach herself how to play the piano and guitar using YouTube tutorials. She got her big break in 2023 when she opened for Taylor Swift on tour, but it was her famous aunt Nancy Cartwright who paved the way for her success.

Nancy Cartwright, known for voicing Bart Simpson on The Simpsons, has been instrumental in helping Sabrina navigate the industry. With a net worth of over $600 million, Cartwright's influence and connections have undoubtedly helped Carpenter get to where she is today.

Carpenter told Rolling Stone last Thursday: 'It's always so funny to me when people complain. They're like,
