After causing a stir over the contentious cover art for her upcoming album Man’s Best Friend, pop singer Sabrina Carpenter has finally broken her silence.
Sabrina Carpenter has finally shared her thoughts on the backlash she received after revealing the album artwork for her new project Man’s Best Friend.
Sabrina shared the album cover on June 12, posting two images, one of a dog wearing a collar which reads Man’s Best Friend and the second shows the pop star on her hands and knees, as a mysterious figure standing over her is seen pulling her hair.
People began making inquiries about the album’s artwork as soon as the discussion about its deeper meaning and possible impact on other women started online.
One TikToker shared their views about the controversial cover, saying: “I’m excited to hear the music! Just not so keen on the cover. Seeing this alongside the Sydney Sweeney stuff and Bonnie Blue’s petting zoo, I just really have to question what on earth is going on at the moment.”

One commentator said: “I think the violence in this cover is so triggering,” while another claimed that she felt the pop star was “hypersexualizing herself for the male gaze” and was thus “setting us so far back”
It sparked a fascinating online discussion about “choice feminism” and female sexuality. Sabrina reacted to the fury online with a few wacky posts after five days of discussion. The ex-Disney star responded to a question on X that read, “Does she have a personality other than sex?” with “girl yes, and it is goooooooooooood.”
The album cover reveal came with the release of her first single from the new project, titled ‘Manchild’ in what many believe is a dig at her ex Barry Keoghan. The song caused quite a stir but went straight to number one.
Manchild is the first female artist’s solo #1 hit on the Hot 100 since Please Please Please Please, according to a chart-based account called Chart Data. Both were written by Sabrina Carpenter. Sabrina simply stated, “I had a funny response, but I’m just going to say thank you <, 3.” In response to her success and what appears to be the backlash the song faced.
After receiving criticism for her racy performances on tour, Sabrina went into more detail about the constant flood of comments she receives about her sexualization in a recent interview with Rolling Stone. They seem to say that all they do is sing about this. However, you’ve made those songs well-known. You adore sex, after all.
