Sabrina Carpenter Finally Explains Meaning Behind Her Controversial Album Cover

Sabrina Carpenter at the Grammys earlier this year

Sabrina Carpenter is reflecting on the furore she created earlier this year when she unveiled the album artwork for her latest release Man’s Best Friend.

Over the summer, the Grammy winner announced her seventh album that would be released later in the year, and shared the provocative cover image, which saw her posing on all fours and looking out towards the camera, while an unidentified figure gripped onto her hair.

Having already become a figure of debate since her meteoric rise to global fame, Sabrina’s album cover led to yet more discourse, with some suggesting the Manchild singer was just making light of the way she’s been portrayed in the media in the past, and others claiming that there was a danger of this message getting lost in the mix, especially in the current political and social climate.

My new album, “Man’s Best Friend” 🐾
is out on August 29, 2025.
