Pop singer Sabrina Carpenter recently released her new album, Short n’ Sweet, on August 23, featuring a collaboration with actress Jenna Ortega in the music video for the song “Taste.” The video tells a horror-inspired story where Carpenter's character seeks revenge on her ex-boyfriend who has moved on with Ortega's character. The plot takes a twist as the two women, initially at odds, end up finding love with each other.
Prior to the release of the music video, Carpenter hinted at the meaning behind the song's lyrics, emphasizing themes of jealousy and lingering feelings towards an ex-partner. In an interview, Carpenter expressed her willingness to explore various topics in her songwriting, regardless of personal scrutiny.
Short n’ Sweet has already seen success with hit singles like “Espresso” and “Please, Please, Please.” The latter even reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in June. Carpenter's music videos have also featured notable appearances, such as her boyfriend, actor Barry Keoghan, in the video for “Please, Please, Please.”
Carpenter's versatile album aims to cater to a wide range of fans, offering something for everyone. She expressed gratitude towards her audience and emphasized her commitment to engaging both existing and potential fans with her music.
