Sabrina Carpenter’s very different look from the past goes viral

by

It seems that Sabrina Carpenter’s aggressive and sensual marketing tactics for her forthcoming album “Man’s Best Friend” have sparked criticism. However, recently circulating vintage images reveal an entirely contrasting aspect of her personality, causing a buzz online.

For approximately four weeks, the 26-year-old pop singer has been subjected to criticism due to explicit album artwork and promotional photos. One of these images depicts her in a controversial pose, appearing to be pulled backward by a man who seems to be grabbing her hair.

Audience members found it hard to agree whether it represented a bold feminist viewpoint or simply catered to a masculine perspective.

The debate arose after Carpenter’s provocative Short and Sweet tour, during which she left many audience members surprised with her explicit poses.

however, the racy instances became less prominent in people’s minds when vintage red carpet photographs reappeared, unveiling a Sabrina Carpenter who seemed almost unfamiliar to her fans.

Clad in baggy hoodies, she appeared as a laid-back, carefree individual with a grunge style – quite distinct from her alluring and glamorous image associated with the Man’s Best Friend campaign.

Her hair had undergone a significant change as well – it was now long, sleek, and rather subtle, marking a drastic shift away from the voluminous ’50s-inspired curls she’s been sporting recently.

Including thigh-high boots made people draw comparisons with Ariana Grande, solidifying that her style had fully transitioned from grunge to glamorous.

Fans began posting videos of Grande wearing clothes that looked remarkably like Sabrina’s, even including footage from her concerts.

One wrote, ‘Sabrina’s been taking notes.’

After the cover art of Sabrina’s album “Man’s Best Friend” was criticized by a prominent domestic violence organization, who claimed she portrayed women as pets, along with numerous other online critics, the images from this controversy have since become widely shared on social media.

The throwback snaps come amid ongoing controversy over Sabrina’s Man’s Best Friend album covers. 

The primary cover she initially presented drew harsh criticism from a prominent domestic violence charity, who claimed it portrayed women as pets, and also received negative feedback from numerous online commentators.

In response, Carpenter unveiled an ‘officially blessed’ alternate cover featuring a monochrome photograph of her tightly gripping a dashing man’s arm amidst a bustling crowd.

A few days ago, another cover image was released last month, featuring her enveloped in roses, wearing black intimate clothing and a transparent nightgown.

Fans worried about the fate of the original cover can rest easy—it’s still available.

It’s far from the first time Sabrina has sparked debate over her embrace of sexuality.

During her Short n’ Sweet Tour, the performer known as the Espresso singer has become well-known for enacting sexual poses during her rendition of Juno. Not all audiences appreciate these adult-themed performances.

She shared with Rolling Stone her amusement at people complaining about the explicit moments during her performances, saying: ‘It’s fascinating to me how they grumble, “She only sings about this.” Yet, those are the songs that have gained popularity. It seems quite clear that you and I both share a deep fascination or obsession with sexual themes.’

In my performance, there are numerous other significant instances apart from the ‘Juno’ moments, yet only these are shared and discussed each day. I don’t have the power to change that.

If you attend the performance, not only will you enjoy the ballads, but also the more contemplative songs. I often find a mix of irony and humor in these pieces, as they seem to frequently reoccur. Admittedly, this occasionally puts me under some pressure to be humorous, which can feel somewhat overwhelming.

During a subsequent conversation on the phone with the magazine, she expressed, “I’m not trying to be negative, but I sincerely believe that there has never been a period in history when women have faced greater dissection and examination from all angles.

I’m not only referring to myself, but to all the women artists who are creating art in the present day.

Approaching one year after her hit album “Short n’ Sweet,” her seventh studio album titled “Man’s Best Friend” is planned for release.

The standout tracks from Short ‘n Sweet – Espresso, Please Please Please, and Taste – managed an impressive milestone by each reaching over one billion streams on Spotify.

The album, which was a global success, managed to sell approximately ten million copies. This achievement led to Carpenter receiving six Grammy nominations for the first time.

She won two awards: Best Pop Vocal Album and Best Pop Solo Performance for Espresso.
