Los Angeles, Sep 24 (NationPress) Popstar Sabrina Carpenter, who was in a relationship with actor Barry Keoghan from December 2023 until the end of last year, has shared her thoughts on men, referring to them as a "super entertaining species to observe".
The 26-year-old singer revealed in an interview with Vogue Italia: "Whenever my female friends announce the arrival of a son, I genuinely celebrate for that boy, as I am confident he will be brought up well. Correct me if I’m mistaken, having spent only 26 years on this planet, but it appears that we have always had to educate them. Sadly, this is a story as old as time."
"I believe men are indeed a super entertaining species to watch, in both positive and negative aspects. Some have inspired and adored me, while others have left me feeling confused, attacked, and ridiculed."
The "Espresso" singer, who launched her seventh album Man's Best Friend last month, mentioned that she often feels compelled to find "humor" in challenging situations, as reported by femalefirst.co.uk.
"Life involves lightening moments that may cause discomfort, at least for me. Throughout my life, I have viewed humor in this way, and more often than not, it was simply a sharp wit that kept me safe. It was always there to ensure my future protection."
Carpenter's recent album cover features her on all fours, with a man tugging at her hair, a depiction that took her by surprise regarding the backlash it received.
In an interview with NPR, she stated: "I was taken aback. My inspiration for the album cover stemmed from the delicate way a man plays with my hair. I felt there were numerous metaphors between this dog and my emotional state."
"A man's best friend carries numerous implications of power dynamics, including dominance and submission. When I viewed it, it encompassed everything I discussed with my friends and family. It perfectly matched the essence of the music."
