In an Instagram post following the single's release, Carpenter shared a series of behind-the-scenes photos from the video. The singer-songwriter said she wrote the song 'on a random tuesday with amy and jack not too long after finishing short n' sweet and it ended up being the best random tuesday of my life.'
She said 'Manchild' has become 'something I can look back on that will score the mental montage to the very confusing and fun young adult years of life,' adding, 'it sounds like the song embodiment of a loving eye roll and it feels like a never ending road trip in the summer ! hence why i wanted to give it to you now- so you can stick your head out the car window and scream it all summer long! thank you always and forever for listening and thank you men for testing me!'
In addition to 'Manchild,' Carpenter also performed a cover of the Weather Girls' disco classic 'It's Raining Men' for the first time:
Next month, Carpenter will perform two nights at London's Hyde Park, followed by stops at festivals Lollapalooza (August 3) and Austin City Limits (October 4 and 11). In the fall, she'll kick off another North American leg of the Short n' Sweet tour, which includes a return to Madison Square Garden for three shows.

Tom Cruise's relationship history: A look back amid Ana De Armas rumors
A Hollywood staple since the '80s, Tom Cruise is a leading man both on and off the screen. The "Top Gun" actor, 63, has been in and out of high-profile relationships since his rise to fame. His storied romantic history includes marriages to A-list actresses Nicole Kidman and Katie Holmes, as well as nearly a dozen other entanglements over the years. And a rumored tie to actress Ana De Armas has reignited an interest in Cruise's love life. Though he has spoken very little about his relationships over the years (aside from one notable exception on Oprah's couch), speculation continues to fuel public fascination. As Cruise's public outings with "Knives Out" star Armas, 37, keep the internet abuzz, here's a look back at his dating history. Tom Cruise's first marriage: Mimi Rogers, 1987-90 Cruise wed "The Rapture" actress Mimi Rogers in 1987, the first of his three marriages. Rogers reportedly introduced Cruise to the Church of Scientology, of which he is still a member and has long been an advocate. When they married, Rogers was 32 while Cruise was 24. The two dated in the '80s after meeting at a dinner party. In an interview with the Sun Sentinel, Rogers implied that friends had set them up, while Cruise recalled to Rolling Stone in June 1986 that his future wife "was dating a friend" when they met. He added, "I thought she was extremely bright." Their wedding, which they referred to using the codeword "The Project," was a "very small, very private and completely normal" ceremony on May 9, 1987, Rogers told the Sun Sentinel. In another Rolling Stone interview, Cruise was effusive in expressing his love for Rogers. "Since I've been with her, it's opened me up a lot. I think it's helped me be a better actor. We live a lot of life together. We share everything," he told the outlet in 1990. "I care about my wife more than anything in the world. She's my best friend. I just really like being with her, you know? I love her." Less than a week after the Rolling Stone cover story was published, Rogers and Cruise announced they were divorcing. "While there have been very positive aspects to our marriage, there were some issues which could not be resolved even after working on them for a period of time," the pair said in a joint statement at the time. Second marriage: Nicole Kidman, 1990-2001 By the end of 1990, Cruise had thrown himself into a new marriage: this time with fellow A-lister Nicole Kidman. The two married on Dec. 24, 1990, months after meeting on the set of "Days of Thunder." Kidman was 23 and Cruise was 28. "I thought he was the sexiest man I'd ever seen in my life," Kidman told Vanity Fair in a 1995 interview. "So it started on lust." Cruise agreed the relationship started with "instant lust," but added that marrying the "Moulin Rouge!" actress was "the best decision I ever made." "I thought she was amazingly sexy and stunning. It grew into love and respect," he told the magazine. "I knew she was it for me. I absolutely knew — I just knew it. I thought, 'This is the person to be able to share all of who I am with, and her with me.'" In that same interview, Kidman confirmed she was a Scientologist but declined to elaborate on it because "it gets misinterpreted and misrepresented." Over their decade-long marriage, the two welcomed two children – Isabella, 32, and Connor, 30, before announcing their split in Feb. 2001. Kidman shared later in a 2007 Marie Claire interview that at the beginning of their union, she'd experienced an ectopic pregnancy, a dangerous condition that occurs when a fertilized egg implants outside of the uterus. She then had a miscarriage at the end of their marriage. "It was incredibly traumatic for me," she told the magazine. A few years later, Kidman mused that her age had factored into the split with Cruise, telling Vanity Fair in 2013: "I was a child, really, when I got married. And I needed to grow up." Third marriage: Katie Holmes, 2006-2012 Cruise made his debut with "Dawson's Creek" star Katie Holmes in 2005, getting engaged in front of the Eiffel Tower that summer and welcoming their daughter, Suri Cruise, now 19, in April 2006. They married in November 2006, at a medieval castle in the town of Bracciano, located outside of Rome. Holmes was 27. Cruise was 44. The ceremony reportedly had a star-studded guest list, with attendees that included Steven Spielberg, Will and Jada Pinkett-Smith, Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony, and Jim Carrey. This was the romance that inspired Cruise, who was promoting "War of the Worlds" at the time, to hop atop a couch during a bizarre "Oprah Winfrey Show" sit-down. The stunt had Winfrey declaring, "We've never seen you behave this way before." The couple's five-year relationship provided ample fodder for tabloids, as Cruise and Holmes developed the couple name "TomKat." As such, their 2012 divorce was met with a media frenzy. Announcing their divorce in a joint statement at the time, the pair wrote: "We are committed to working together as parents to accomplishing what is in our daughter Suri's best interests. We want to keep matters affecting our family private and express our respect for each other's commitment to each of our respective beliefs and support each other's roles as parents." Reports at the time noted that one of the reasons for the split was that Holmes wanted to raise their daughter outside the Church of Scientology. Tom Cruise dated Penélope Cruz, was also linked to Cher and Melissa Gilbert During an appearance on "Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen" in 2017, Melissa Gilbert confirmed she dated Cruise (at the time known as Tom Mapother) at "16 or 17," which would put Cruise around 18 or 19 years old. "We made out, but honestly, there was no sex," she told Cohen. Cher, who reportedly also dated Cruise in the 1980s, told Cohen in 2013 that Cruise was among her top five best lovers. Cruise has also been linked to singer-songwriter Patti Scialfa, who is now married to Bruce Springsteen, and his "Risky Business" co-star Rebecca De Mornay. In the early 2000s, Cruise dated his "Vanilla Sky" co-star Penélope Cruz for a few years. Now, fans have begun to speculate that Armas is his latest leading lady, as photographers have caught the pair globe-trotting in recent times.

Objectifying Or Empowering? Sabrina Carpenter's Impact On Influencers
NEW YORK, NEW YORK - SEPTEMBER 30: (Exclusive Coverage) Sabrina Carpenter performs onstage during ... More the Sabrina Carpenter Short n' Sweet Tour at Barclays Center on September 30, 2024 in New York City. (Photo byfor AEG) As fans anticipate the upcoming release of Sabrina Carpenter's new album, Man's Best Friend, many were shocked by the album cover art. On the cover, Sabrina Carpenter is shown on her hands and knees, wearing a short black outfit, submissively and softly touching the leg of an off-frame male figure who is grasping her hair in his fist. She suggestively looks at the camera, with opened, red lips. The sexualized image has sparked a heated debate, with some fans arguing that the cover is empowering, with Carpenter articulating a satirical social commentary on misogyny. Those who are outraged claim Carpenter is pandering to the male gaze and sending the wrong message to the young women and men who revere her. So, is the cover art objectifying or empowering? Girl Power Following in the footsteps of pop icons like Madonna, Christina Aguilera, and Rihanna, Carpenter is using sexuality as a way to subvert expectations and control the narrative of how women are allowed to act. She is expressing that women can have both sexuality and power, and they can own their own bodies. This is contrary to the tableau presented on the cover and, thus, where satire comes in. One For The Patriarchy Despite any of Carpenter's intentions, some perceivers are going to see this image as thinly veiled soft pornography, as dehumanizing to herself and to women and girls. Younger fans and those who only glance at the cover will not be able to pick up the subtle satirical message Carpenter is claiming to convey. Sabrina Carpenter's Impact on Women Influencers What does this say to other women in the spotlight who may also use their sexuality to grab attention or to make a statement? Social media influencers commonly employ sexuality to attract and engage their audience and followers. Published in the Journal of Business Research, a new study suggests that followers respond to influencers' use of sexuality more favorably than to brands who employ the same tactics with models. The difference lies in the perceived agency: that influencers are owning their bodies and choosing to create sexualized content, whereas brands are exploiting models and objectifying them with sexualized posing. Takeaways For Influencers If you are a woman influencer and decide to include sexuality as part of your branding: Sabrina Carpenter's Man's Best Friend Whether you loved or hated Sabrina Carpenter's strategy, it's certainly been effective in getting people talking. Can she push societal boundaries and challenge norms as Madonna did with 'Like a Virgin'? We'll soon see. Man's Best Friend will drop 29 August 2025.

Black Sabbath frontman and heavy metal icon Ozzy Osbourne dies aged 76, family says
Ozzy Osbourne, the gloomy, demon-invoking lead singer of the pioneering band Black Sabbath who became the throaty, growling voice of heavy metal, died on Tuesday at the age of 76 just weeks after his farewell show. "It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time," a family statement said. In 2020, he revealed he had Parkinson's disease after suffering a fall. Either clad in black or bare-chested, the singer was often the target of parents' groups for his imagery and once caused an uproar for biting the head off a bat. Later, he would reveal himself to be a slightly doddering and sweet father on the reality TV show "The Osbournes." Black Sabbath's 1969 self-titled debut LP has been likened to the Big Bang of heavy metal. It came during the height of the Vietnam War and crashed the hippie party, dripping menace and foreboding. The cover of the record was of a spooky figure against a stark landscape. The music was loud, dense and angry, and marked a shift in rock 'n' roll. The band's second album, "Paranoid," included such classic metal tunes as "War Pigs," "Iron Man" and "Fairies Wear Boots." The song "Paranoid", which hit top ten on many charts across Europe, became in many ways the band's signature song. Both albums were voted among the top 10 greatest heavy metal albums of all time by readers of Rolling Stone magazine. "Black Sabbath are the Beatles of heavy metal. Anybody who's serious about metal will tell you it all comes down to Sabbath," Dave Navarro of the band Jane's Addiction wrote in a 2010 tribute in Rolling Stone. "There's a direct line you can draw back from today's metal, through Eighties bands like Iron Maiden, back to Sabbath." Black Sabbath fired Osbourne in 1979 for his legendary excesses, like showing up late for rehearsals and missing gigs. "We knew we didn't really have a choice but to sack him because he was just so out of control. But we were all very down about the situation," wrote bassist Terry "Geezer" Butler in his memoir, "Into the Void." Osbourne re-emerged the next year as a solo artist with "Blizzard of Ozz" and the following year's "Diary of a Madman," both hard rock classics that went multi-platinum and spawned enduring favourites such as "Crazy Train," "Goodbye to Romance," and "You Can't Kill Rock and Roll." Osbourne was twice inducted to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, once with Sabbath in 2006 and again in 2024 as a solo artist. The original Sabbath line-up reunited for the first time in 20 years in July 2025 in the UK for what Osborne said would be his final concert. "Let the madness begin!" he told 42,000 fans. "Black Sabbath: we'd all be different people without them, that's the truth," said Pantera singer Phil Anselmo. "I know I wouldn't be up here with a microphone in my hand without Black Sabbath."
