Pop sensation Sabrina Carpenter is making headlines again, not just for her music but also for her honest take on men and relationships. The 26-year-old singer, who once dated actor Barry Keoghan, recently shared her thoughts in an interview with ‘Vogue Italia’.

Sabrina described men as a “super entertaining species to watch.” She explained that when one of her friends says she is having a baby boy, she feels happy for the child. “I know he will be raised well,” she said, before adding that women often end up “training” men as they grow. For her, it’s something that has been happening for generations.

She didn’t shy away from being open about her own experiences either. “Men have been very entertaining in good and bad ways,” she admitted. “I’ve felt loved and inspired by some of them… but also confused, attacked, and even ridiculed by others.”

The “Espresso” singer also spoke about how she has handled challenges in her personal life. Humor, she revealed, has always been her shield. “Life can be uncomfortable,” Sabrina said, “but I try to make light of things. I think humor, well, not always humor, sometimes just quick wit, was what saved me. It helped me protect myself and move forward.”

Sabrina Carpenter recently released her seventh studio album, ‘Man’s Best Friend’, which has already created a stir. The cover of the album shows Sabrina on all fours while a man pulls her hair. The image sparked massive debate online.

Surprisingly, Sabrina admitted she didn’t expect such strong reactions. Speaking to NPR, she explained the inspiration behind the cover.

“I imagined a man gently playing with my hair,” she said. “To me, it symbolized a lot; the emotional ties between a dog and its owner, the ideas of power, dominance, and submission. It wasn’t just about shock value; it reflected how the music itself feels.”

She added that to her, the artwork made perfect sense with the themes she explores in the album. “When I saw the final picture, it checked all the boxes. For me, it looked and felt exactly like the songs sound.”
