Carly Simon Defends Sabrina Carpenter Against Album Cover Backlash: 'She's Not Doing Anything Outrageous'
Carly Simon is defending Sabrina Carpenter amid the backlash against her album artwork for Man's Best Friend In an interview with Rolling Stone, the "You're So Vain" hitmaker said the LP cover seemed "tame" Man's Best Friend is due Aug. 29Carly Simon is standing by Sabrina Carpenter. In an interview with Rolling Stone published on Wednesday, June 18, the "You're So Vain" hitmaker came to the pop star's defense amid the backlash surrounding the cover for her forthcoming album Man's Best Friend. The album artwork features a photo of Carpenter, 26, on her hands and knees as someone who appears to be a man grabs her by the hair. In the image, she's donning a short, black dress and black heels. Simon herself released a similarly controversial cover with her 1975 album Playing Possum, which featured the "You Belong to Me" artist on her knees wearing black lingerie and black leather boots. "Everybody looked at it, and people definitely had a reaction to it,' Simon, 81, told the publication of the controversial album cover. 'But they wouldn't have told me what they really thought.' When the album was shipped to stores, she was met with bolder reactions. 'Suddenly, I'm getting calls from Time and Newsweek, saying, 'This is one of the sexiest covers that has ever known,'' Norman Seeff, the photographer who shot the cover for Playing Possum, told Rolling Stone. He continued: 'There's this whole controversy around what did it represent? It felt very much like that energy in a woman, but I just thought of it as a beautiful shot. None of that stuff they were talking about was the intention." Simon also addressed the criticism Carpenter has faced for her Man's Best Friend album artwork, which she didn't understand. "She's not doing anything outrageous,' she told the outlet. 'It seems tame." Added Simon: "There have been far flashier covers than hers. One of the most startling covers I've ever seen was [The Rolling Stones'] Sticky Fingers. That was out there in terms of sexual attitude. So I don't know why she's getting such flak." Carpenter announced the release of her seventh studio album and its cover art on Wednesday, June 11. The news came after she shared the album's lead single "Manchild" earlier this month. In the days after she shared the album cover, Carpenter responded to an X user who reshared the singer's Man's Best Friend album cover, saying, 'Does she have a personality outside of sex?' The 'Espresso" hitmaker then reshared the post and said: 'girl yes and it is goooooood.' Man's Best Friend follows Carpenter's chart-topping LP Short n' Sweet, which was released last August.

Carly Simon defends Sabrina Carpenter's controversial album cover, says it's not 'outrageous'
Carly Simon is coming to Sabrina Carpenter's defense. During a recent interview, Simon reacted to Carpenter's album cover that caused quite a stir. Carpenter's album artwork for "Man's Best Friend" showed a photo of the singer on her hands and knees, as a man appeared to be grabbing her by the hair. The "Busy Woman" singer wore a black mini dress and matching heels in the photo. Simon argued the current outrage surrounding Carpenter's album is relatively mild, compared to past examples of bold artistic expression in the music industry. "She's not doing anything outrageous," the "You're So Vain" singer said in an interview with Rolling Stone. "It seems tame." "There have been far flashier covers than hers," Simon said. "One of the most startling covers I've ever seen was [The Rolling Stones'] "Sticky Fingers." That was out there in terms of sexual attitude. So I don't know why she's getting such flak." Once Carpenter shared her latest album cover of "Man's Best Friend," fans were quick to comment. "This cover makes me uncomfortable…" one person wrote. Another comment read, "That's disgusting!!" Other fans enjoyed Carpenter's album and wrote, "Sue her she wants to be iconic." While Simon is no stranger to pushing the envelope herself, the singer reacted to the similar criticism she received for her famous 1975 "Playing Possum" album. "Everybody looked at it, and people definitely had a reaction to it," Simon told Rolling Stone of her own cover at the time. "But they wouldn't have told me what they really thought." The "You Belong To Me" singer famously posed in a lacy black dress with matching leather boots. Simon's face wasn't shown, but she was photographed on her knees for the album cover. That photo was shot by Norman Seeff, who still remembers the stir it caused. "Suddenly, I'm getting calls from 'Time' and 'Newsweek,' saying, 'This is one of the sexiest covers that has ever [been] known,'" Seeff recalled. "There's this whole controversy around what did it represent? It felt very much like that energy in a woman, but I just thought of it as a beautiful shot." Meanwhile, the former Disney star has been known for her racy performances and turning heads. In March, Carpenter shocked fans with her explicit dance moves at her concert in Paris. During every show on her "Short n' Sweet" world tour, the singer simulates a different sexual position while performing her hit "Juno." Carpenter shows off each move when she sings the lyrics, "Wanna try out some freaky positions? / Have you ever tried this one?" At her Paris performance, Carpenter paid tribute to the City of Lights when she and two male backup dancers simulated a three-way sex act, known as the Eiffel Tower. In a photo from the performance that the account Buzzing Pop posted on X, Carpenter, who donned a sparkly green and silver halter top with a matching miniskirt, was seen bending over between the two dancers who leaned into her and held hands above her. The position is meant to emulate the structure of Paris' famed historical landmark. The post divided fans when it went viral on social media, with some fans slamming Carpenter's performance as too inappropriate for the younger members of her fan base, while others contended that she had the right to evolve as an artist after transitioning to adulthood.
