Sabrina Carpenter roasts immature men in hilarious Manchild music video
Sabrina Carpenter is taking aim at emotionally immature partners in her new single Manchild, released June 5. The following day, the pop star unveiled a humorous and theatrical music video directed by Vania Heymann and Gal Muggia, in which she lampoons the absurdity of modern dating.
Set to lyrics critiquing emotional immaturity — 'Stupid, or is it slow / Maybe it's useless / But there's a cuter word for it, I know: Manchild' — the video follows Carpenter through the American West as she attempts to escape a series of hopeless suitors. Whether she's riding on the back of a jet ski barreling down a desert highway, crammed in a shopping cart hitched to a motorcycle, or balancing on a motorized recliner, each vignette shows her failing to get anywhere with men who can't seem to grow up.
The Grammy-nominated artist poked fun at the concept on Instagram, writing: 'it's exactly what i pictured in my head… no animals were harmed in the making but some men were.'
Manchild is Carpenter's first new release since the deluxe edition of Short n' Sweet, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. She co-wrote the track with songwriter Amy Allen and producer Jack Antonoff. On Instagram, she said it was written after finishing the album: 'this song became to me something I can look back on that will score the mental montage to the very confusing and fun young adult years of life.'
Carpenter is currently on a brief hiatus from her Short n' Sweet world tour, which resumes in July with performances in London's Hyde Park, followed by a North American leg.

Kesha drops new single "Attention!" ahead of PERIOD album release
Kesha has released her latest single, "Attention!", featuring Slayyyter and Rose Gray, offering another glimpse into her forthcoming album, PERIOD (set to drop on July 4, 2025). This new track follows previously released singles like "Yippee-Ki-Yay" featuring T-Pain and "Boy Crazy," and it marks a continuation of Kesha's bold, sleaze-pop style. Although "Attention!" doesn't appear on the original tracklist for PERIOD, its presence in Kesha's campaign is marked by the signature pink period motif, suggesting it may be a bonus track. The song, produced by Pink Slip, pairs sleek house beats with a rowdy attitude and catchy lyrics. It's being described as a playful, rebellious anthem with a nod to the 2010s, featuring lyrics like, "T**s out riding with the windows down / They're playing me on the radio right now." The track has drawn comparisons to Charli XCX's "Guess" for its fun, energetic vibe. Kesha confidently asks, "Do I have your attention?" reminding listeners that she never lost it. Additionally, Kesha is gearing up to support her new album with the T**s Out Tour, set to kick off in North America on July 1, 2025. The tour will feature co-headliners Scissor Sisters, with support from Slayyyter and Rose Gray. Following the North American leg, the tour will head to the UK and Europe in spring 2026. Fans can expect Kesha's high-energy performances and bold new music on the road. Tickets for the North American dates are available now.

Chris Brown pleads not guilty to London nightclub assault charges
Grammy-winning artist Chris Brown appeared in court in London on Friday, June 20, where he pleaded not guilty to a charge of grievous bodily harm stemming from a 2023 nightclub incident. The 36-year-old singer is accused of assaulting music producer Abraham Diaw at the upscale Tape nightclub in Mayfair in what prosecutors have described as an unprovoked attack. Brown is alleged to have struck Diaw multiple times with a tequila bottle before continuing the assault by punching and kicking him. Prosecutors also stated the violent episode was caught on surveillance footage and witnessed by numerous club-goers. Alongside Brown, fellow musician and friend Omololu Akinlolu, known professionally as Hoody Baby, also pleaded not guilty to the same charge. Additional charges were added to Brown's indictment ahead of Friday's hearing. These include assault occasioning actual bodily harm and possession of an offensive weapon—in this case, the bottle allegedly used in the attack. However, the court has adjourned Brown's plea on these new charges until July 11. Brown, who performed to a packed stadium in Cardiff just hours before his court appearance, is currently out on bail set at £5 million (approximately $6.75 million). The substantial bail amount enabled him to begin his world tour earlier this month despite the looming legal case. The trial is set to begin on October 26, 2026. Until then, Brown will remain free under bail conditions while continuing to face serious legal scrutiny over the alleged violent incident.
