In a message to fans, she said: 'My new album Man's Best Friend releases Aug 29 I didn't plan on releasing a new record however when inspiration strikes, I go to the studio, and when it doesn't, I still go to the studio.
'But luckily life was really happening to me and inspiration struck!
'I tried not to overthink the process this time, I felt so at ease making Man's Best Friend that I felt like it was a gift that shouldn't be taken for granted as every inch came together so effortlessly, different from my other previous projects where I'd bang my head to crack numerous codes.

'This one felt like riding a bike! I went back to some of my favourite artists growing up listening to a lot of Stevie, Dolly, Donna etc and was surprised to find so many of those artists I loved put out a new record every year for a long time.
'Can't say that is or will be the norm for me but this time it really eased my mind about putting something out when it feels right!'
According to the Official Charts Company the singer is the first female artist in history to score both the UK's number one album and single simultaneously, while holding all three top positions on the singles chart with Taste at number one, Please Please Please at number two, and Espresso at number three.

Her music videos have seen appearances from a number of famous faces including Irish actor Barry Keoghan in Please, Please, Please.
The Saltburn actor was romantically linked to Carpenter in late 2023, but they were reported to have split late last year.
Carpenter is due to headline Hyde Park's British Summer Time festival (BST) this July where she will be joined by special guests including Clairo and Olivia Dean across two performances.
Man's Best Friend will be released on August 29.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce coverage at Stanley Cup Final leaves NHL fans seething
The coverage of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce attending Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Finals on Thursday night has left hockey fans seething. Instead of plans publicized days in advance of the 14-time Grammy Award winner attending a sporting event, her and the Kansas City Chiefs star's appearance in Sunrise, Florida for the NHL title-series contest was only apparent about an hour before puck drop. Yet, coverage from TNT has shown Swift and Kelce more than any average fan, as the duo hung out in a luxury suite. It is a rare time in public for the couple, who have been staying low-key since February's Super Bowl loss for Kansas City. Kelce has a home in the area, where he and Swift have been spending time in between his offseason activities for the Chiefs. Florida Panthers, Edmonton Oilers, and NHL fans at-large were not thrilled with seeing the couple multiple times on their television screens.

Larsa Pippen reveals real reason her relationship with Marcus Jordan ended
Larsa Pippen explained exactly why her romance with Marcus Jordan came to an end on The Real Housewives of Miami season seven premiere. The 50-year-old TV personality was in a tumultuous relationship with NBA icon Michael Jordan's 34-year-old son from January 2023 until July 2024. Looking back on her on-and-off involvement with Jordan, Larsa revealed her four children gave her the strength to leave for the third and final time last year. 'When I was with Marcus, my kids were like, "Stop getting back together and breaking up, and just get off the ride." That's when I was like, I need to get away from the situation — my kids think that it's not good for me,' she shared during a conversation with her mom. Pippen shares Scotty Jr., 24, Preston, 23, Justin, 20, and Sophia, 16, with ex-husband Scottie Pippen. She opened up, 'We went from really being in love, getting along, to me seeing a side of him that didn't really align with who I am as a person. When we would go out, he would like to be the very last person in the club. Like, I mean, there's no one there but the janitors.' Elsewhere in the conversation, Larsa divulged, 'I'm kind of used to being alone now. Especially if you're with the wrong person, it's definitely better to be by yourself.' 'I don't want to have to address it. It's so embarrassing,' Kim Kardashian's former close friend cried to her mom in the episode. In a confessional interview she elaborated, 'I fought everyone to be with this guy, and then it was not a good situation for me and my family, so I had to remove myself from it. 'But doing what's best for me and my family ended up pissing him off so bad that he'd send me really bad messages and reach out to my friends and say hurtful things about me, and it was just bad.' Larsa and Marcus' relationship quickly came under scrutiny for their nearly 20-year age gap, as well as his connection to her ex-husband Scottie, who is his famous father's former Chicago Bulls teammate. The mom-of-four shared her side of the split, lamenting on RHOM, 'It's really hurtful that he's talking s*** about me publicly. It's f**ked up because I've done nothing but be nice to him and be there for him and all of his stupid f***ing issues.' Her up-down relationship with the ex college basketball star has been a sore point in her friendship with castmate Lisa Hochstein. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Bravo (@bravotv) Hochstein's boyfriend Jody Glidden is still on speaking terms with Marcus, leaving her in the middle. 'That's really what annoys me a lot, the Lisa thing,' Larsa stated in the episode. 'Because like, if I tell my friends I'm going through a lot with this person and I just want to move forward and remove a toxic person from my life, and you can't understand that as my friend... I feel like that's kind of why I'm mad at her,' she stressed. Sharing her perspective, Lisa said the exes' unstable past confused her. 'The thing with them is, they go from breaking up to making up, to breaking up. I just felt like, I don't need to make him an enemy,' she said in her defense. After some time insisting they were 'just friends,' Larsa and Marcus exposed themselves as romantic partners when they were spotted kissing in Miami in early 2023. The former flames were first spotted together in September 2022, immediately prompting relationship rumors. In January 2025 the troubled former UCF Knights basketball star was arrested for cocaine possession after he drunkenly got his Lamborghini struck on a train track in Florida. Following her split from Jordan, Larsa has moved on with Jeff Colby, another young athlete who is 20 years her junior.
