If Sabrina Carpenter's sexual lyrics offend you, she says you're to blame
Sabrina Carpenter has insisted anyone offended by her sexual lyrics only have themselves to blame. The 26-year-old singer has come under fire for her honest songs and racy moments on tour, including the infamous Juno sex position segment, and her kinky cover for new album Man's Best Friend. Her new album cover has also come under fire, but the Bad Chem pop star finds the backlash all rather amusing. 'It's always so funny to me when people complain,' she admitted to Rolling Stone. 'They're like, 'All she does is sing about this.' 'But those are the songs that you've made popular. Clearly you love sex. You're obsessed with it. It's in my show.' She also pointed out that while social media is always flooded with footage of whatever sex position she decided to mime during Juno, there's more to her gig than that. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video 'There's so many more moments than the 'Juno' positions, but those are the ones you post every night and comment on,' she argued. 'I can't control that. If you come to the show, you'll [also] hear the ballads, you'll hear the more introspective numbers.' Although Sabrina can 'find irony and humour' in the whole situation, she pointed to a greater issue with the way women are 'picked apart' and 'scrutinised in every capacity'. 'I'm talking about every female artist that is making art right now,' she said. 'It's something that keeps coming back. We just have to grow thicker skin, but they don't have to learn how to shut their mouths.' The interview has dropped just as the Espresso hitmaker is facing another wave of backlash over the cover for her new album, Man's Best Friend. Her upcoming collection – which is the follow-up to Short N' Sweet – will drop on August 29, and the artwork has sparked some criticism, as it shows her on her knees in a black minidress and heels. She can be seen posing for the camera and holding her hand up to a man's trouser leg, as he stood over her and gripped a fistful of her hair. The second picture in the post included a zoomed-in photo of a dog wearing a tag adorned with 'Man's Best Friend'. Fans are loving that new music is on the way, but the photoshoot has left a lot of people uncomfortable. More Trending Some social media users branded the cover 'disturbing', with others urging her to 'get up'. Below the announcement on Instagram, Edersoaresx penned: 'Lol this cover art is so disgusting. As a fan I don't like it :(.' 'I dont wanna see no man dragging you around by your hair mother please get up [sic],' wrote Carehanapov, while in a discussion over on Reddit, Adorable_Slide_921 simply complained: 'Ooooh boy do I hate this!'
