Sabrina Carpenter is no stranger to pushing the envelope and her latest music video is no exception.
The pop star, 26, leaves little to the imagination in the official visuals for House Tour, which is the latest single from her chart-topping album Man’s Best Friend.
Joined by Hollywood actress Margaret Qualley and Netflix star Madelyn Cline, Carpenter breaks into a mansion and wreaks havoc in the jaw-dropping clip.
The trio tear off their clothes and change into skimpy lingerie, raid the liquor cabinet, take a bubble bath, and jump in the pool.
They also ransack the house for money and jewels, which they steal and then flee with as police descend upon the property.
However, things take a dark turn when Carpenter and Qualley run over a man in their getaway car, who appears to be dead as they speed off into the night.
The racy video appears to be inspired by the true story of The Bling Ring, in which a group of fame-obsessed teenagers robbed the homes of Hollywood celebrities.
Fans have been delighted by the video so far, with one commenting, ‘It’s never a Sabrina Carpenter music video without a man’s death! The way Sabrina ran him over [crying laughing emojis].’
Another wrote, ‘I love how in every music video she makes sure a man suffers… ICONIC.’
The song House Tour is known for its extreme sexual innuendo, with Carpenter using a home as a metaphor for sex.
‘Do you want the house tour? I could take you to the first, second, third floor,’ she sings.
‘I just want you to come inside / But never enter through the back door.’
Carpenter previously courted controversy with the official cover art for her album Man’s Best Friend.
The cover depicted Carpenter on all fours as a man pulls on her blonde hair.
The image, paired with the album title, led many to accuse Carpenter of likening herself, and by extension other women, as dogs or pets for men to play with.
Carpenter hit back at the criticism in an interview with Gayle King on CBS last year.
‘It is not for the pearl clutchers. The album is not for any pearl clutchers no,’ she said.
‘But I also think that even pearl clutchers can listen to an album like that in their own solitude and find something that makes them smirk and chuckle to themselves.’
The Espresso star admitted that her lyrics can be ‘really bold’ and not always something you ‘want to sing in front of other people.’
‘It’s like it’s almost TMI,’ Carpenter quipped.
‘But I think about being at a concert with, you know, however many young women I see in the front row that are screaming at the top of their lungs with their best friends and you can go like, “Oh, we can all like sigh of relief, like, this is just fun and that’s all it has to be.”‘
She also admits that her music isn’t for everyone.
‘You don’t have to like what I do. I think there’s this weird misconception that every artist has to check every box for everyone to like everything about them,’ she said.
Outside of her songs, the Grammy winner has received criticism for the simulated sex acts she demonstrates onstage while performing on tour.
When it comes to her autobiographical lyrics, Carpenter says that her former romantic partners feel ‘pretty flattered’ whenever she writes a song about them.
‘I feel pretty transparent going into any of my relationships, that I write songs and I think they’re just as down for it,’ she told King.
‘I think it’s also, most of the time, they’ve been pretty flattered when I … when they get a song written about them, good or bad.’
Carpenter has been in the industry for a decade, but she didn’t top the charts until the release of her sixth studio album, Short n’ Sweet, in 2024.
The album spawned multiple multi-platinum hits, including Espresso, Please Please Please, and Taste.
She followed it up a year later with Man’s Best Friend, which produced the No. 1 single Manchild as well as the hits Tears and When Did You Get Hot?.
