"She’s really taking the Taylor Swift way": Internet reacts as Sabrina Carpenter gives hints on single 'Manchild,' speculated for ex Barry Keoghan

On June 3, Sabrina Carpenter uploaded an Instagram post, revealing the name of her upcoming song with a cryptic caption. The caption read,

"This one’s about you!! “Manchild”"

While fans were curious to know who the 'you' in her caption refers to, many speculated it to be about her ex, Barry Keoghan. With this in mind one fan, @shila.263, even commented,

"She’s really taking the Taylor Swift way and building a career on bashing her ex’s"

The couple's dating rumors started in 2023. They were seen together at multiple events, including the Met Gala, and Barry was also featured in Sabrina's Vogue video. Additionally, Keoghan was also featured in the music video of Carpenter's song, Please Please Please.

The two reportedly parted ways in December 2024. Some fans even accused Barry of cheating on Carpenter. However, both Sabrina and Barry never addressed the cheating rumors or revealed the reason behind their breakup, leaving fans in speculation.

While “Please Please Please” was a hit, Sabrina released a new version with a music video featuring Dolly Parton on this year’s Valentine’s Day. At the end of the video, a person is seen in the trunk of her car, and fans guessed it might be Barry because of visual hints.

From Sabrina Carpenter’s latest post, fans think this might be her way of hitting back at Keoghan and sharing what happened between the two through a new song.
