The comment came shortly after Carpenter announced her seventh studio album, due August 29, 2025. The album cover shows the Espresso singer on all fours, dressed in black, with a man holding her hair. It sparked a mix of reactions online, including debates about her image and lyrical content.
Carpenter addressed this in her recent Rolling Stone cover story, saying, 'They're like, 'All she does is sing about this.' But those are the songs that you've made popular.' She added, 'Clearly you love sex. You're obsessed with it. It's in my show.'
The singer's performances on her Short n' Sweet tour have also gained attention, particularly during the song Juno, where she stages playful choreography to match the lyrics.
In the same interview, she emphasised the importance of not letting headlines shape her confidence. 'I find irony and humour in all of that,' she said, adding that the only pressure she feels is 'to be funny sometimes.'

Bluebird Cafe denies Olivia Rodrigo requested Taylor Swift photos be removed
The Bluebird Cafe has addressed speculation that Olivia Rodrigo's team asked the venue to remove images of Taylor Swift ahead of Rodrigo's performance there in 2023. In a video statement posted to X on June 18, Bluebird Cafe general manager and COO Erica Nichols denied the rumor, clarifying that the photos were taken down due to copyright issues during filming. 'Olivia's people did not ask us to remove an image of Taylor Swift,' Nichols said. 'We are required legally to remove copyrighted images for broadcast.' The clarification came after a resurfaced video showed a Bluebird employee claiming the cafe 'vowed to remove any visible signs of Taylor Swift' before Rodrigo performed. Nichols said the employee 'spoke carelessly and haphazardly,' and the photo was removed purely for legal reasons. Nichols emphasized that the venue continues to support both artists equally. 'Taylor is a super friend of the Bluebird… and we were honored to have Olivia here,' she said. The rumor fueled fan theories of a feud between Rodrigo and Swift, stemming from songwriting credit controversies on Rodrigo's tracks 'Deja Vu' and '1 Step Forward, 3 Steps Back,' which interpolated Swift's music. Rodrigo has repeatedly denied any rift, telling Rolling Stone in 2023: 'I don't have beef with anyone.' The manager concluded by urging fans not to read into the false narrative, reiterating that the venue removed multiple images—not just Swift's—as standard filming procedure.

Sabrina Carpenter considers banning phones at future concerts when her skin is no longer "soft and supple"
Pop star Sabrina Carpenter has shared that she would consider banning mobile phones at her future concerts. The singer cited a recent experience at a Silk Sonic show in Las Vegas, where attendees had their devices locked away in pouches, as inspiration. 'I've never had a better experience at a concert,' she said. 'It really felt so beautiful. Everyone was singing, dancing, looking at each other, and laughing.' Carpenter, known for her recent hits 'Espresso' and 'Please Please Please,' added that while smartphones have become the norm at shows, she values the idea of fans being fully present. 'I can't blame people for wanting to have memories,' she said. 'But depending on how long I want to be touring, and what age I am, girl, take those phones away.' Alongside her thoughts on live performances, Carpenter opened up about her tour rituals, revealing she does a cold plunge backstage before each show. 'It's me in full glam and stage curls… from neck down, I'm nude,' she joked. She also touched on her deep creative bond with her sister Sarah and producer Jack Antonoff, who helped shape her latest album. Carpenter is currently preparing to release her new project Man's Best Friend on August 29, just a year after Short n' Sweet.
