Sabrina Carpenter BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Sabrina Carpenter has been everywhere these past few days and the headlines have not stopped. On August 29, 2025, her highly anticipated seventh album, Man’s Best Friend, officially dropped, just about a year after Short n’ Sweet vaulted her into Grammy-winning stardom, with ‘Espresso’ still ringing in everyone’s heads. The rollout has been characteristically Sabrina—bold, cheeky, and sparking conversation, especially over the original album cover art featuring her on her knees at a man’s feet, hair pulled, which set off a viral debate online. According to CBS News, Sabrina addressed critics directly in an interview with Gayle King, saying she wasn’t shocked by the backlash because, in her close circles, her artistic choices were never questioned. She described the image as “being in on the control, being in on your lack of control and when you want to be in control,” intentionally dissecting public expectations around young women and their agency.
Still, the noise got so deafening that by June 25, Sabrina posted an alternative cover on Instagram, joking it was “approved by God,” this time standing next to a man, an obvious wink to her critics. Through it all, she’s been candid—her parents loved the original photo and her core fans understood her intent. The music itself, she says, is about the messiness of humanity, learning from putting yourself in questionable situations, and owning every side of her womanhood, including the sexual. Songwriting collaborators like Jack Antonoff and Amy Allen joined her on this album, which she likens to a “band” experience, focusing first on lyrics and concepts before anything else.
On August 28, Sabrina held a Spotify event in Los Angeles to celebrate the album launch, where fans were treated to stories, live reactions, and her signature charm, cementing her place as a pop force with real personal connection to her audience. Manchild, the single, has already become a talking point—not just for its 70s disco-charged sound, but for clever lyrics that skewer mediocre men with a sugar-sweet delivery.
Business-wise, this week also marked a massive milestone: Johnnie Walker, the world’s number one scotch, announced a multi-year global partnership with Sabrina. The campaign, unveiling alongside the album and the final leg of her Short n’ Sweet Tour, positions Sabrina as an unapologetic icon connecting the boldness of her new era with Johnnie Walker’s legacy. She’ll be curating classic whiskey cocktail recipes, starring in global content pushes, and giving fans a taste of her signature playful edge. Parade reports fans are already calling it an iconic, game-changing collab.
As for the Taylor Swift connection, CBS News confirms Sabrina will be featured on the title track of Swift’s upcoming album The Life of a Showgirl, out October 3, and while the details are a vault-guarded secret, Sabrina openly expressed her thrill and admiration for Swift. Social media has been abuzz with album reactions, Johnnie Walker campaign clips, and tour updates, all painting Sabrina as a pop powerhouse confidently writing her own rules for what comes next.
