Believe it or not, Taylor Swift hasn't hosted a "Secret Session" since 2019's Lover era. Will she revive the pre-release listening parties in honor of The Life of a Showgirl? The jury's still out. In the meantime, Sabrina Carpenter took cues from her collaborator with a "Secret Session" of her own, playing Man's Best Friend for 26 lucky fans on August 14.
The Grammy winner stashed her guests' phones before playing all twelve songs on the record, beginning with "Manchild." (It's a spoiler-proof security measure.) She looked like she'd walked off the music video's set in a nostalgic, button-down dress. Its designer, like the new songs, remains a mystery. The cardigan-ish bodice, micro-mini skirt, and tweed texture felt so Chanel-coded, however. Carpenter and her stylist, Jared Ellner, sourced vintage Dolce & Gabbana for the risqué cover, so an archival piece isn't out of the question.
