I remeber when dirty came out by christina aguilera and all these little girls were singing along, they had no idea what it meant.

I like sabrina carpenter. It's fun.
Sometimes you just want a fun song to sing along too.

Alot of it goes straight over most kids heads.
And it's up to the parents.

I hate the cover. It screams male gaze. Her fans are playing it off that it’s ironic, but it’s really not.

I think people are getting Sabrina burnout. I’ve seen a lot of backlash over the cover and people complaining Manchild is boring.

She’s just so overly sexual. Like I’m all for people expressing themselves how they want but really does everything have to be so sexualised, it’s like she has nothing else to offer which is a shame because emails I can’t send was a great album.

When I see older photos of her and compare them to now, it’s clear she’s had so much work done on her face. It’s like looking at a different person. Also it’s annoying me how she is everywhere at the moment. Her songs kept coming on my Spotify so I made her a no play artist so I can listen in peace 😂

I quite like her tongue in cheek sexual jokes, as a woman in the music industry she’ll be sexualised anyway so you might as well own it.
That's the spirit, over-sexualise yourself so men can't--wait, that definitely is not how this works

The Emails I Can't Send Deluxe and Short n Sweet eras both felt sexy but still "for the girls" - wearing cute outfits and making cheeky clever songs with a wink. But the Netflix Christmas Special and the Man's Best Friend era have felt super male-gazey - ass and tits to camera, glorifying smoking, the Tears chorus literally being "I get wet at the thought of you". It's starting to feel a bit sleazy.

I'm not a fan at all. Her voice is bland and forgettable to me. I don't particularly like her style of dress, she seems very uncomfortable in her own skin/ doesn't know who she is.. I can't explain it very well. She appears very disingenuous to me and uninterested. I don't think she will be remembered in 5 years.

Finally gave her music a listen today while doing some housework.

Really, people are paying $100+ to see this dollar store pop girly? "They call me a slut all because I liked a boooooooy" girl shut up you're not cute and no one's ever bonded over the Black Eyed Peas. I'm not even generally a music snob but I found myself getting annoyed listening to her whiny little voice before finally switching back to the Chappell/Troye/Charli/Miley channel. No wonder she's attached herself to someone more interesting, the pop landscape is otherwise way too crowded for someone this mediocre.

Sabrina is the way she is because the Taylor Swift "woe is me" image wasn't selling lol. Nobody gave a fuck about Shawn Mendes cheating, so now she's acting like a porn star for fame. I'm sure her parents are very proud. Not! No matter what, she needs men for attention.
This doesn’t actually make sense 🙂 Her current image and the use of sexual innuendo started way before she dated Shawn Mendes in her last album. The Short n sweet album where she reveals he “cheated” is the same album that she’s singing about sex. There was never an attempt at a woe is me image, the whole album roll out was based around the 50s babydoll thing.

If you're going to make a "feminist" statement, get your facts right.

The thing is, my problem isn’t with her being a “sexy pop star” (I love lots of female pop artists’ music, so I’m used to it).

It’s that specific album cover, with the aggressive hair grabbing and the demeaning pose. There‘s nothing about it that makes it satirical.

Barry is a prick.He was vile to his ex, Shona Guerin, cheated on his Son's mom and now Sabrina. He's lucky he's famous because there's no way he would get these women if he wasn't.

I'm not sure what to make of her at all. When I saw the Espresso video, I thought the concept of it was that it was an intentionally ironic parody type video where she portrayed herself as a rather vacuous overly sexualised airhead character. I thought it was purely for the purpose of that particular video and intended to be amusing.

But after seeing a bit more of her, it seems like that's just actually how she is all the time? But I still can't work out if that's just how she's marketing herself and it's a bit of a character she's playing, or if she's actually just like that. I find her rather baffling.

Is she over sexualising herself or is she just a sexual female and we’re not used to seeing women being openly sexual? This feels very outdated, of course only men should enjoy sex
---
Sabrina sexualised herself once she realised how lucrative dirty lyrics and tiny outfits are

And ‘men sexualise women anyway so we may as well join in’ is a horrible take
That absolutely wasn’t what I meant, just if she’s sexual why should she hide it? Women can be sexual beings.

I personally just think it’s tongue in cheek, she’s an adult woman and she’s allowed to enjoy sex and sexual humour

I don’t know if I’d call ‘hold me and explore me, I'm so fucking horny’ reading between the lines 😂
I just find it weird she has this really juvenile marketing to appeal to teens and then sings lyrics like that

Am I old (at 32 😭) or what am I not getting because all I’m seeing in the instagram picture is calling herself a dog. The picture gives misogyny, sex pest, early 00’s in the worst way vibes.

I usually get what she’s going for but I hate whatever that is.
I thought that as well. It's very male gaze-y for me.
