Sabrina Carpenter claims that her Man’s Best Friend album cover was designed to demonstrate how she has been “emotionally yanked around” in relationships.<\/p>\n
The 26-year-old singer sparked controversy earlier this year with the cover for the record – which depicted her on all fours with her hair being tugged by a faceless figure – but insists that she didn’t set out to make it appear degrading to females.<\/p>\n
Sabrina told Variety: “It was about how people try to control women, and how I felt emotionally yanked around by these relationships that I had, and how much power you’re allowing yourself to give them.<\/p>\n
“It meant one thing to me and 100 things to other people, and I was looking at it going, ‘That’s valid. Mine’s valid. What’s for dinner?’<\/p>\n
“Not to bypass the weight that it did carry for some people. I saw it and was like, ‘That’s a great point. It wasn’t the point I was trying to make.'”<\/p>\n
Sabrina often makes jokes about sex and believes that this outrages some because of her childhood acting fame in shows such as Girl Meets World.<\/p>\n
The Tears hitmaker said: “I think it wouldn’t matter so much if I wasn’t a childhood figure for some people.<\/p>\n
“But I also can’t really help that. It’s not my fault that I got a job when I was 12 and you won’t let me evolve.”<\/p>\n
However, Sabrina rejects the notion that she doesn’t have any boundaries due to the often raunchy nature of her lyrics.<\/p>\n
She said: “People think, ‘Oh, she’ll say and do anything.’ No, I really do have boundaries with myself – you’d be surprised!<\/p>\n
“I’m just actually living my life, and you’re watching. If you don’t like it, it’s not for you. If you do like it, let’s play.”<\/p>\n
Carpenter’s music addresses the themes of love and break-ups and she believes that it is possible to combine both.<\/p>\n
The Espresso singer said: “I feel like you can be super confident and strong and also knowingly f*** up and knowingly get yourself into situations that are not good for you. But you’re doing it all because you are a smart woman and because you’re in control of your life.<\/p>\n
“You can be super put-together and everything can be in shambles. Like, two things can exist!”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sabrina Carpenter claims that her Man’s Best Friend album cover was designed to demonstrate how she has been…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":168536,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[156,157,111,139,69,3569],"class_list":["post-168535","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-entertainment","tag-music","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-sabrina-carpenter"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/168535","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=168535"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/168535\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/168536"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=168535"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=168535"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=168535"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
