Pop sensation Sabrina Carpenter is making waves with her latest music video, “Taste,” a track from her recent album, Short n’ Sweet. The video, which dropped this week, is capturing attention for its bold storytelling, dark humor, and a few unexpected twists—most notably, a kiss between Sabrina Carpenter and actress Jenna Ortega.
The storyline of the music video is packed with drama, following Sabrina as she chases down a deceitful partner who has cheated on her. In a surprise casting choice, the other woman involved is played by Jenna Ortega, known for her roles in Netflix’s Wednesday and Scream. The plot thickens as the video unfolds with a blend of humor, intensity, and even some graphic violence. But it’s the unexpected kiss between Sabrina and Jenna that has truly set the internet ablaze.
The kiss scene, combined with the video’s overall tone, has sparked a flurry of online reactions. Fans and casual viewers alike took to social media to express their surprise and excitement. One Twitter user commented, “When will y’all start seeing that all celebrities do is queer bait lol?” Meanwhile, another fan wrote, “OMG THE DISNEY GIRLS ALWAYS HAVE THE SPARK (sic),” referencing both Carpenter’s and Ortega’s Disney Channel roots. Yet another remarked, “This wasn’t on my 2024 Bingo Card OMG (sic),” summing up the general sense of surprise that the video has generated.
Sabrina Carpenter, known for hits like “Please Please Please” and “Espresso,” is no stranger to the spotlight. Her music often features themes of personal growth and self-expression, and Short n’ Sweet is no exception. Recently, in an interview with Variety, Carpenter opened up about her new album, describing it as a “second ‘big girl’ album” that shows her evolution as an artist. “It’s a companion, but it’s not the same,” she said. “When it comes to having full creative control and being a full-fledged adult, I would consider this a sophomore album.”
As Carpenter continues to redefine her image and musical style, the “Taste” music video serves as a bold statement of her artistic vision. With Jenna Ortega by her side, Sabrina has certainly made a lasting impression, further cementing her place in the pop music world while keeping fans and critics alike eagerly awaiting what she will do next.
