Sabrina Carpenter takes brutal swipe at ex Barry Keoghan as she teases new music
Sabrina Carpenter is rumoured to be releasing a new song called 'Manchild', and fans are wondering if it could be a dig at her previous relationship with Irish actor, Barry Keoghan.
Sabrina Carpenter is believed to be releasing new music after billboards with the writing 'Manchild' and her initials were spotted across different US cities - but is it a diss at her ex, Barry Keoghan?
Just in time for summer, the popular singer might be dropping the summer anthem of 2025 following the success of her hit single titled 'Espresso' - which led her to first her first-ever Grammy award.
The singer is currently in the middle of her tour, 'Short n' Sweet', but fans are hoping to hear some new tunes and they might be in luck. Sabrina shook the internet after sharing a vintage-inspired teaser clip on her social media accounts.
Wearing a white top, a pair of cheeky denim shorts and course, platform high heels, Sabrina is seen hitchhiking in the clip, but is ignored by two cars passing by. The 17-second clip is silent, with no music heard over the scene and ends with Sabrina saying "Oh, boy."
Following the singer's post, several billboards have been spotted across different cities in the US, with some saying: 'I swear they choose me, I'm not choosing them', 'Amen', Hey men!' and 'Manchild'.
Fans have been flooding social media, speculating whether it's a new song or an album. Others were left wondering if 'Manchild' could be a dig at her former partner, Barry, whom she dated back in 2023.
A fan wrote: 'Wishing Sabrina Carpenter release another song criticising men (Barry) so I can relate it to my current situation.' A second fan wrote: "Wake up! sabrina carpenter is about to end men again."
Sabrina Carpenter and Barry Keoghan's relationship timeline
Sabrina and Barry were first romantically linked in 2023 but didn't make their rumoured relationship public until February 2024. The two made their first public appearance at the Grammy's 2024 after-party, where they took a picture together covering their faces.
Their relationship seemed to be going head over heels, with the Irish actor making an appearance on her song, 'Please Please Please', which is believed to be about him. However, their romance ended in December 2024, with reports saying they had decided to call it quits to focus on their careers.

Spare us from ‘experimental' novels
Some sorts of books and dramas have very strict rules. We like a lot of things to be absolutely predictable. In romantic comedies, a girl chooses between a charmer who turns out to be a rotter and another man she hates at first but then falls for. In the BBC's long-running Casualty, if a worried patient turns up with his put-upon wife who coughs twice, it's the wife who's got an undiagnosed fatal disease. Bertie Wooster falls for a girl that Jeeves doesn't care for and the valet goes to some lengths to detach his employer. We like these things because they're safe and a little bit cosy and we all know what the rules are. One of the most rigid genres at the moment is slightly different. Even though it's got a set of incredibly strict rules, it's regarded by its adherents, not as an exercise within conventional boundaries, like an episode of Midsomer Murders, but as a radical demonstration of rule-breaking. I'm talking about the experimental novel. After a while, the sceptical reader has to ask: if the same rule is being broken in exactly the same way, novel after novel, at what point does that turn into a new and very strict rule? Earlier this year, the Irish-British novelist Eimear McBride published a new novel, The City Changes Its Face. I single her out but, to be honest, there is no shortage of other exemplars. It was greeted with rapture by book reviewers. The Guardian observed with awe that 'she uses verbs as nouns, nouns as adjectives'. This magazine's reviewer wrote: 'To say that it is 'experimental' doesn't do justice to its flexibility and force.

O'Brien serves an ace with Flushing Meadows at the Curragh
A Royal Ascot tilt may come too soon for the exciting two-year-old, but O'Brien has his eye on a return to Irish racing HQ for Group Two action later this month. Flushing Meadows (Wootton Bassett x Hence) strikes on debut as yet another exciting two-year-old scores this term for Ryan Moore and Aidan O'Brien @curraghrace — Racing TV (@RacingTV) June 4, 2025 'I'm delighted with him, he's a lovely horse,' said O'Brien. 'He was never away and he'll come forward loads. He'll have no problem getting seven furlongs. 'The reason those horses were here was in case they were Ascot horses. Ryan said he's lovely, but that Ascot might be a little bit too quick for him and to give him a little bit of time. 'He doesn't have to step up in trip and he might come back here for the Railway Stakes.' Flushing Meadows was bringing up a double for the Ballydoyle team after Moore got a fine tune from Amadeus Mozart in the opening Sky Bet For The Fans Irish EBF Maiden Amadeus Mozart opened his account at the Curragh (Gary Carson/PA) Another son of Wootton Bassett, he was the well-backed 10-11 favourite for his racecourse bow and although asked to knuckle down before two furlongs out, responded to his rider's encouragement to get the better of also-promising stablemate Dorset by half a length. It is a race O'Brien has won with Lope Y Fernandez (2019) and Point Lonsdale (2021) in the past and the leading players could prove key members for the Ballydoyle team in the future. O'Brien said: 'They are lovely big horses, they were never away so they are going to come forward plenty. 'Ryan liked him (the winner). He said he was a lovely horse and he wouldn't mind stepping up. 'He'll be a lovely horse next year, he's a very big horse. He was very green.'

Pop singer Jessie J says she has been diagnosed with early breast cancer
The English pop singer Jessie J says she has been diagnosed with breast cancer and will undergo surgery after her performance at the London music festival Capital's Summertime Ball next weekend. Jessie J, 37, shared the news in an Instagram video on Wednesday. 'I was diagnosed with early breast cancer,' she said in the clip. ' Cancer sucks in any form, but I'm holding onto the word 'early'." 'It's a very dramatic way to get a boob job. I am going to disappear for a bit after Summertime Ball to have my surgery, and I will come back with massive (expletive) and more music.' The annual Summertime Ball will be held at Wembley Stadium on Sunday, June 15. She told her social media audience that she felt compelled to share her diagnosis. 'I just wanted to be open and share it,' she said. 'One, because, selfishly, I do not talk about it enough. I'm not processing it because I'm working so hard. I also know how much sharing in the past has helped me with other people giving me their love and support and also their own stories. I'm an open book. It breaks my heart that so many people are going through so much similar and worse – that's the bit that kills me.' The Grammy-nominated Jessie J has long been celebrated for her robust soprano and R&B-informed pop hits, like the 2014 collaboration with Nicki Minaj and Ariana Grande, 'Bang Bang,' and 2011's 'Domino.' She has released five albums across her career, most recently, 2018's Christmas album, 'This Christmas Day.' She has been releasing new music in 2025, including the singles 'Living My Best Life' and 'No Secrets.' A new album is expected later this year. She has a son, Sky Safir Cornish Colman, born in 2023. A representative for Jessie J did not immediately respond to The Associated Press' request for comment.
