Sabrina Carpenter’s Taste music video
With her sixth studio album, “Short n’ Sweet,” and a gripping and darkly funny music video for the track “Taste,” Sabrina Carpenter has made a powerful comeback to the forefront. Sabrina Carpenter says of the album, which she regards as the “hot older sister” to her earlier work, it shows her artistic development and keeps exploring themes of love, retribution, and empowerment.
A Cinematic Music Video For “Taste”
Featuring the ” Wednesday” actress Jenna Ortega, the “Taste” music video is a cinematic delight ride full of horror allusions and lighthearted payback. Carpenter first finds her ex back with his old sweetheart in the video, portrayed by Ortega. Reminiscent of classic horror movies with a contemporary, sarcastic twist, this is a brutal struggle between the two. The two engage in a sequence of brutal, albeit cartoonistically exaggerated, fights with flames, amputations, and even a shotgun blast. The film has a humorous tone despite the violence; it culminates in an unexpected turn as the two ladies connect over their common experience and leave the boyfriend’s funeral carrying milkshakes.
Fans have appreciated the frightening aspects of the video and Carpenter’s cheeky performance, especially for Jenna Ortega’s inclusion—who has emerged as a modern scream queen. Sabrina Carpenter herself participated extensively in the creative process; she co-wrote the song with Julia Michaels and Amy Allen and oversaw production by John Ryan and Ian Kirkpatrick. The cooperation produced a song with subject richness as well as catchability.
Album: Short n’ Sweet: A Companion Piece
Carpenter has been painstakingly compiling a compilation of songs covering difficult emotional terrain from “Short n’ Sweet.” Along with fresh tunes like “Sharpest Tools,” “Coincidence,” and “Good Graces,” the CD has major singles such as “Please Please,” and “Espresso.” Carpenter says of this album, her second “big girl,” that she feels entirely in charge of her creative vision. Inspired by the sounds of the 1960s and the 1990s, the album has a flirtatious, lighthearted atmosphere with a hint of old Hollywood glitz.

Carpenter excitedly discussed the album in an interview with Variety, stating, “I adore the faces of the ’60s and ’90s – old Hollywood, flirtatious and playful. This is most definitely the atmosphere of my record. She also acknowledged her pleasure in finishing the album before any singles were published, therefore enabling her to have a constant creative orientation free from outside influence.
Love Triangle Notes: Camila, Shawn, and Sabrina
Fans of Carpenter, Shawn Mendes, and Camila Cabello have been speculating among the hype over her new album about a possible love triangle involving them. Social media theories abound that several of the songs on “Short n’ Sweet” allude to heartache and frustration about a convoluted romance between Mendes and Cabello.
Fans of one song, “Coincidence,” have especially taken note as it seems to allude to a scenario whereby Mendes may have resumed his relationship with Cabello while still working with Carpenter. The songs tell about a situation when a previous sweetheart returns into someone’s life under apparently fortuitous events. Another song, “Dumb & Poetic,” seems to speak to the emotional toll of dealing with someone who fails to take responsibility for their actions, a message some fans feel is targeted at Mendes.
Though there are speculations, none of the participating musicians have verified or refuted the suggested love triangle. Still, the mystery has given Carpenter’s already much-awaited record another level of curiosity.
The Sour Tour, Sweetn’t
After “Short n’ Sweet,” Sabrina Carpenter is scheduled to start the Sweet n’ Sour tour in North America on September 23rd in Columbus, Ohio. Then, in 2025, the tour will move on across the UK and Europe. With all 33 stadium events including visits at New York’s Madison Square Garden and Los Angeles’ Crypto.com stadium, selling out, the North American portion of the tour has already garnered notable buzz. Carpenter will be accompanied in North America by supporting performers Amaarae, Griff, and Declan McKenna as well as Rachel Chinouriri for the overseas dates.
Conclusion
Combining appealing pop songs with deeper, more adult topics, Sabrina Carpenter’s sixth studio album, “Short n’ Sweet,” represents a fresh turn in her career. Carpenter’s album’s release combined with the hype about her personal life and the darkly humorous music video for “Taste,” has put her back in the public eye. Carpenter’s star power is just growing as she gets ready to perform her new album on the road with the Sweet n’ Sour.
