Sabrina Carpenter divides fans with 'disgusting' album cover
The American singer Sabrina Carpenter receives backlash for controversial album cover
Sabrina Carpenter, who is known for creating chart-topping hits like Espresso and On My Way, received heavy backlash after she announced her new album.
The 26-year-old singer was rooted for her new track Manchild where she seemingly took a dig at her previous relationship with fun lyrics.
The Feather hitmaker took to Instagram to share a glimpse of the cover of the upcoming record which features her sitting on her knees bent as a man holds her blonde locks in his hand.
Sabrina’s announcement of new album was not treated warmly as fans labelled the controversial cover and title as "disgusting."
This divided the online community as one X user questioned: “The cover? This is weird and you can’t convince me otherwise.”
Another expressed concern, writing: “Why are we doing things for the male gaze in 2025.”
A third fan seemingly called her hypocrite for “pretending to be this hyper-aware, feminist, anti-male figure, while your entire artistic identity still revolves around seeking male approval.”
A music lover referenced her latest song Manchild, highlighting “For someone who keeps calling men PIGS she keeps degrading herself to appeal the male gaze.”
One of her followers on Instagram was confused if they are the only one who “finds this cover really disturbing.”
Meanwhile, her die-hard fans expressed their eagerness to hear the new tracks as someone gushed: “MY QUEEN MY LOVE MY IDOL.”
