Sabrina Carpenter takes savage swipe at ex Barry Keoghan as she announces new single
SABRINA Carpenter has made a not-so-thinly veiled jab at her ex Barry Keoghan with the announcement of her new single.
The Taste singer, who is known for her playful and sexual lyrics and stage show, teased her new single yesterday with a cheeky clip of her hitch-hiking in bum-exposing shorts.

Now she's revealed the name of the song – and made it known it was about someone in particular.
Taking to Instagram, she captioned the clip: 'this one's about you!! 'Manchild' is out this Thursday 6/5 8pm EST♥️ special 7' vinyl available now'.'
A teaser of the vinyl also revealed the words: 'Inside of your head when you've just won an argument with a man.'
While Sabrina didn't explicitly say it was about Irish actor Barry Keoghan – who is set to play Ringo Starr in the upcoming four-part Beatles biopic film series – fans wasted no time in believing it was about the pair, considering their split last year.
Sabrina and Barry were first connected in September 2023, making their first public appearance together at Grammys after-party in February 2024.
They later attended the MET Gala together, with Barry being seen on the side of the stage throughout some of Sabrina's performances.
The actor, who shot to fame in Saltburn and Banshees of Inisherin, later had a starring role in her music video for Please Please Please, which depicts the story of a woman deciding to ignore warnings for a potential romance, but begging her love interest not to embarrass her.
However, in August, The Sun on Sunday confirmed Barry had been dumped by Sabrina for the first time after she grew tired of his party lifestyle.
A source said at the time: 'Barry acts like an idiot when he is drunk and Sabrina was getting increasingly frustrated.
'He has always been a party animal and Sabrina was fed up with his antics. She is soaring in the charts and is putting herself first as she gears up for her tour next month.'
Romantic dinners, racy shoutouts and sexy video cameos - a timeline of Sabrina Carpenter & Barry Keoghan's relationship
While they later reconnected, they officially ended for good in December.
It was believed that a combined pressure of her skyrocketing fame and tour schedule, plus his workload and party lifestyle, ultimately made the relationship unviable.
A source told People: "They are both young and career-focused, so they've decided to take a break."

Draco Malfoy actor Tom Felton to reprise role in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child
Tom Felton is to reprise his role as Draco Malfoy for the Harry Potter and the Cursed Child play. The actor, who starred in all the film adaptations of JK Rowling's fantasy novels, will make a comeback as Harry Potter's school bully on Broadway at the Lyric theatre in New York later this year. The production said he was the first actor from the films to reprise their role on stage, in what will be Felton's Broadway debut. He said: 'Being a part of the Harry Potter films has been one of the greatest honours of my life. Joining this production will be a full-circle moment for me, because when I begin performances in Cursed Child this fall, I'll also be the exact age Draco is in the play. 'It's surreal to be stepping back into his shoes – and of course his iconic platinum blond hair – and I am thrilled to be able to see his story through and to share it with the greatest fan community in the world. I look forward to joining this incredible company and being a part of the Broadway community.' Felton, 37, made his West End debut in the supernatural thriller 2:22: A Ghost Story in 2022. He would begin his run in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child on 11 November for a limited 19 weeks, the production said on Thursday. The show's producers, Sonia Friedman and Colin Callender, said: 'Tom's return to Hogwarts bridges generations of fans and breathes new life into a beloved story. We're beyond thrilled to welcome Tom back 'home' but also into a new family: our Broadway company.' The play, written by Jack Thorne – co-creator of this year's hit Netflix drama Adolescence – opened in 2016 in London and has had a Broadway run since 2018. It was co-devised by Rowling and is set 19 years after the events of the final book, with Potter now a Ministry of Magic employee who, along with his wife, Ginny Weasley, must send their youngest son, Albus Severus, off to school. In the two-part play, which stretches over five hours, Albus struggles with the weight of his family legacy at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and goes to extreme and dangerous lengths to right the wrongs of the past.

Caitlin Clark forced to apologize to Indiana Fever fan after courtside incident
Caitlin Clark was forced to apologize to a few Indiana Fever fans before Tuesday night's game after she launched a large bouncy ball into the crowd. Clark is currently out of action with a quad injury, with her possible return being on Saturday against the Chicago Sky. With her trying to stay busy and support the Fever in action against the Washington Mystics, she was playing with a bouncy ball during the on-court introductions. Clark bounces the ball lightly on the Gainbridge Fieldhouse hardwood a few times before slamming it to the ground, expecting it just to go higher. The ball launches several feet behind Clark and into the floor seating behind one of the baskets. Clark runs over immediately trying to find the ball and apologizing profusely to the group of fans sitting in that section. pregame shenanigans with Caitlin Clark 😅 — Indiana Fever (@IndianaFever) June 4, 2025 Clark is the single best thing to happen to the Fever in franchise history, with the fans likely immediately accepting her apology. The point guard is not seen talking to them long before walking back onto the hardwood with her bouncy ball looking guilty at what had just occurred. Clark then was seen not bouncing her ball during the game and cheering on her teammates, alongside fellow injured Indiana star Sophie Cunningham. The Fever won their first game without Clark in the lineup this season over the Mystics, with a road trip to Chicago looming. Should Clark be healthy, she will be on the court against rival Angel Reese for the first time since their on-court incident from the opening weekend of the WNBA season. The incident led to a racism investigation from the league, which found no wrongdoing from Fever fans.
