Sabrina Carpenter releases ‘God approved' album cover after backlash
Sabrina Carpenter has released a new cover for her upcoming album which she quipped is 'God approved' after the original X-rated artwork upset feminists and conservatives alike. The cover of her new album, Man's Best Friend was criticised as being overly sexualised when she shared it with fans on social media earlier this month. The cover featured Carpenter, 26, dressed in a black dress and high heels on her knees while reaching towards the upper leg of a suited man who is grabbing her by the hair. The risqué photo sparked a fervent debate online with some accusing the Espresso singer of 'centring men' and embracing the 'male gaze'. On Wednesday, Carpenter shared a photo of an alternative cover for the album showing her and a man standing in a close embrace. In a nod to her critics, she described the new cover as 'approved by God'. 'I signed some copies of Man's Best Friend for you guys & here is a new alternate cover approved by God available now on my website,' she wrote on Instagram.

Addressing concerns about her performance style in a recent interview, the singer claimed her critics are 'obsessed' with sex. 'It's always so funny to me when people complain,' Carpenter told Rolling Stone. '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.' She added that women nowadays face being 'picked apart more and scrutinised in every capacity'. 'We're in such a weird time where you would think it's girl power, and women supporting women, but in reality, the second you see a picture of someone wearing a dress on a carpet, you have to say everything mean about it in the first 30 seconds that you see it,' Carpenter said.

Sabrina Carpenter reveals her dad's shock reaction to VERY cheeky moment with Usher at Met Gala 2025
Pop star Sabrina Carpenter has revealed her dad's hilarious reaction to her viral moment with Usher at the Met Gala. Usher is known for his unusual tradition of handing out cherries to women at his concerts, particularly during hit song There Goes My Baby. And, on Monday, he was captured feeding a cherry to none other than the Espresso singer herself during the celebrations in New York City. In an Instagram post shared earlier today, Sabrina, 25, marked the occasion by uploading a series of behind-the-scenes snaps. Near the end of the scroll, she included a cheeky photo of herself with her head tilted back and her tongue hanging out as Usher dangled a cherry in front of her - before then sharing what her dad thought of the move. In the final slide, Sabrina shared a screenshot of a text from her father that featured an X link - formerly Twitter - about the cherry moment and a simple text that read: '? Weird.' People in the comments found the text hilarious, with Usher himself commenting: 'Apologies, Mr. Carpenter.' Another read: 'The dad text is SENDING MEEEE.' 'Okay, last slide is CLASSIC dad text,' shared a user. '"? Weird" should be the next album name,' a comment read. 'Glad to know parents don't stop getting disappointed regardless of fame,' a person wrote. The Nonsense singer stunned at the 2025 Met Gala as she ditched pants to wow in a custom Louis Vuitton bodysuit. The star flashed her legs in the burgundy tuxedo-inspired bodysuit with a sweeping train, while sporting her signature blonde locks and heavy contour. She recalled creative director Pharrell Williams, who designed her outfit, settling on the decision for her to skip trousers due to her famously petite size. Sabrina claimed the singer-turned-designer told her, 'You're quite short, no pants for you,' according to Dazed. Her bold outfit choice also served as the perfect distraction from her potentially awkward run in with her ex of five months, Barry Keoghan, who arrived at the event in a custom Valentino suit. After the Gala, Sabrina changed looks for the after parties, and the Feather singer didn't disappoint. She stood out in a floor-length, canary yellow coat over a black trouser suit with her blonde curls cascading down her shoulders. She linked arms with Wednesday star Jenna, 22, while making a beeline for their car after attending an event at local nightspot Jean's as rain swept across Manhattan. Showing off her legs in sheer black tights, Jenna added inches to her frame with a pair of pointed black court heels. To complete the look, she toted her essentials in a mini black clutch and styled her dark tresses in a waved pattern, which she parted down the middle.
