Sabrina Carpenter is pushing back on what trolls have to say about her.

The songstress copped flak online for the album cover of her latest album, Man's Best Friend, which sees her on her knees as a man towers over her with a fistful of her hair. Scores online are claiming that for someone who supposedly disses men, she uses them in her work a lot.

Others, however, critiqued her for purportedly using her feminine wiles to sell her music, while even more claimed it was promoting misogyny. Here's how one such user commented on X, for instance:

"Does she have a personality outside of sex?"

When Sabrina Carpenter caught wind of the comment, however, she wasted no time in shooting back:

"Girl yes and it is goooooood."

Sabrina Carpenter issued another statement on Monday, addressing fans' distress about her album cover, and assured them that she would be punished for it:

"To any of my fans who were offended by the provocative album artwork, please know that I will be appropriately disciplined by Daddy for being a bad, bad girl," the 26-year-old singer said, per The Onion.
"Daddy gets very angry with me when I disobey his orders not to engage in PR stunts, but I just couldn’t help myself, and I deserve to be spanked. I hope the young girls who look up to me know that misbehaving leads to a lesson from Daddy using the flogger. I promise it won’t happen again without Daddy’s permission."

Glasgow Women’s Aid, an organization that supports survivors of domestic violence, was one of the public critics of the artwork, as they called it “regressive":

"Oh Sabrina! Sabrina Carpenter’s new album cover isn’t edgy, it’s regressive. Picturing herself on all fours, with a man pulling her hair and calling it “Man’s Best Friend" isn’t subversion," they wrote. “It’s a throwback to tired tropes that reduce women to pets, props, and possessions and promote an element of violence and control. We’ve fought too hard for this," the post continued.

It concluded:

"We get Sabrina’s brand is packaged up in retro glam but we really don’t need to go back to the tired stereotypes of women. Sabrina is pandering to the male gaze and promoting misogynistic stereotypes, which is ironic given the majority of her fans are young women! Come on Sabrina! You can do better!"

Sabrina Carpenter also recently pushed back on criticism for famously acting out different intimacy positions on stage while performing her track Juno on tour. She recently told Rolling Stone:

"It’s always so funny to me when people complain. They’re like, ‘All she does is sing about this.’ But those are the songs that you’ve made popular. Clearly you love s*x. You’re obsessed with it. It’s in my show."

She added:

"There’s so many more moments than the ‘Juno’ positions, but those are the ones you post every night and comment on. I can’t control that. If you come to the show, you’ll [also] hear the ballads, you’ll hear the more introspective numbers. I find irony and humor in all of that, because it seems to be a recurring theme. I’m not upset about it, other than I feel mad pressure to be funny sometimes."

In other news, the Please Please Please singer's new song, Manchild, has already scaled the charts to reach the dominating position on the Billboard Hot 100. This marks Sabrina Carpenter's first song to debut at the top, and her fourth Hot 100 top 10.

Variety has reported that the track has amassed 27 million official streams, 14 million radio airplay audience impressions, and 20,000 units sold in the U.S. alone. The track was on sale as a 7-inch vinyl, 14,000 copies of which have since been sold. It also dropped with an exclusive instrumental B-side:

"Inside of Your Head When You’ve Just Won an Argument with a Man," the outlet states.

In an old post, Sabrina Carpenter reflected on how she penned the song with Jack Antonoff, her co-producer, and Amy Allen:

"I wrote ‘Manchild’ on a random Tuesday with Amy and Jack not too long after finishing ‘Short n’ Sweet’ and it ended up being the best random Tuesday of my life,” she said. “Not only was it so fun to write, but 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."

She added:

"It sounds like the song embodiment of a loving eye roll and it feels like a never ending road trip in the summer! Hence why i wanted to give it to you now — so you can stick your head out the car window and scream it all summer long!"

Sabrina Carpenter's next album, Man’s Best Friend, drops on August 29.

“I can’t wait for it to be yours x,” she posted on Instagram announcing the news.

The album comes just a year after she debuted her last LP, Short n’ Sweet, which dropped on August 23, 2024.
