Sabrina Carpenter is giving fans a fair warning before the release of her bold new album “Man’s Best Friend” on August 29, 2025! In a teaser clip from her upcoming CBS Mornings interview with Gayle King, posted on August 28, the “Espresso” singer admitted that her latest project is “not for the easily triggered.” Maybe the content will be a little too bold for some softer listeners?
The singer explained that while the lyrics are provocative, they are also meant to feel fun, freeing, and relatable. She acknowledged that some fans might think the songs are “too TMI” or feel shy about singing them out loud, but she sees it differently. For her, the real storytelling is about creating a safe space where young women at concerts can scream the words together without fear of being judged. “We can all sigh in relief like, this is just fun,” she said. The project might just be a mix of power, sexuality, and vulnerability.
This isn’t the first time Sabrina Carpenter has been a provocateur. Since her 2024 breakout with “Short n’ Sweet,” tracks like “Juno” and “Bed Chem” have sparked debates online. Even the “Man’s Best Friend” cover art stirred reactions, with some calling it degrading and expressing that it appeals to the male gaze. Love it or hate it, Sabrina Carpenter’s breakthrough is happening in real time, and fans are loving it, despite the controversies.
