The Manchild singer, who released her seventh album Man\u2019s Best Friend last month, insisted she has often felt forced to find \u201chumour\u201d in more difficult moments.<\/p>\n
She said: \u201cPart of life is making light of moments that maybe make us uncomfortable, or at least, that is for me.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy whole life I felt like humour was just this, and it wasn\u2019t even always humour, I think it was usually just sort of a wit that kind of saved me.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was always there to make sure that at the end of the day I was protecting myself for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n
Carpenter\u2019s latest album featured a picture of her on all fours standing close to a man who is pulling her hair, and she recently admitted she didn\u2019t expect so many people to be offended by the raunchy shot.<\/p>\n
During an interview on NPR, she said: \u201cI was surprised. I think mostly because when I thought about making this album cover, I was really inspired by a man sort of delicately playing with my hair.<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause I think there were a lot of metaphors between this dog and me emotionally. You know, a man\u2019s best friend and sort of all the implications that comes with it, the power in dominance and submission.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I saw it, obviously for me, it checked all the boxes in between my friends and family. It just felt like what the music sounds like.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sabrina Carpenter says she was surprised at the reaction to the cover of her new album, Man\u2019s Best…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":40501,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[36671,16120,430,156,1351,305,3605,111,139,69,16119,312,36672,61,11685,2248],"class_list":["post-40500","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-always","tag-carpenter","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-had","tag-have","tag-men","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-sabrina","tag-says","tag-thinks","tag-to","tag-train","tag-women"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40500","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=40500"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40500\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/40501"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=40500"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=40500"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=40500"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
