You're sharing them: Sabrina Carpenter defends racy artwork and lyrics of her songs
However, Sabrina advocated for her choices, shedding light on the irony that the same audience criticising her is also promoting her sexually explicit content.advertisement
"It's always so funny to me when people complain. They're like, 'All she does is sing about this.' But those are the songs that you've made popular. Clearly, you love sex. You're obsessed with it. It's in my show,' Sabrina told the magazine.The 'Espresso' singer also highlighted that her performances, including racy acts during her songs like 'Juno' and 'Bed Chem,' are fan favourites. She claims that they are gaining traction due to public interest in themes of sex.'There are so many more moments than the Juno positions, but those are the ones you post every night and comment on. I can't control that. If you come to the show, you'll also hear the ballads, you'll hear the more introspective numbers,' she added.The pop star pointed out that female artistes continue to face intense scrutiny, especially when expressing their sexuality. She cited icons like Christina Aguilera and Rihanna, emphasising that despite their impact, women in the industry still deal with cultural pushback.Sabrina is gearing up to release her seventh studio album, 'Man's Best Friend', on August 29, following the success of her 2024 record 'Short n' Sweet'. Its lead single, 'Manchild,' was released on June 5 and blended country-inspired pop with a disco-synth twist.

Playing villain is so much fun: Piper Perabo
Agency: PTI Last Updated: Los Angeles, Aug 17 (PTI) 'Covert Affairs" star Piper Perabo says essaying a negative character in spy thriller series 'Butterfly" has been a 'fun and relaxing" experience for her. Perabo portrayed the role of Juno, the evil head of a private intelligence corporation in South Korea, in the Prime Video series. Also starring Daniel Dae Kim, the series made its debut on the streamer on August 13. 'Playing the villain is so much fun…I think the villains in Hollywood keep that secret to themselves so that they don't have to give up the great parts," the 48-year-old actor told Variety in an interview. 'I think it's so relaxing. The getaway car pulls up to you, there's no running. You have an endless supply of weapons. It's very relaxing," she added. Directed by Kim Jin-min, Jann Turner, and Kitao Sakurai, the series comprised six episodes and got mixed responses from the audience. It is based on the graphic novel series of the same name, and follows David (Kim), Juno's former partner, who comes out of hiding to save his daughter, Rebecca (portrayed by Reina Hardesty). The back story follows David leaving Rebecca in Juno's care nine years earlier, after one of his missions goes wrong and he has no option but to fake his death. Speaking of character, Perabo said, 'I like how clear Juno's sense of purpose is." 'I always think of her like when you were a kid and you're on the athletic fields and there's this parent on the sidelines who's screaming at their kid and just humiliating them and pushing them. That's who I think Juno is," she added.
