Sabrina Carpenter goes back to pop-girl bullsh*t, but in real life, she’s giving us everything we didn’t know we wanted. The young megastar revealed yesterday that there will be a new video for her new single “Tears” next Friday, August 29, in alignment with the release date for her most anticipated album Man’s Best Friend. Oh yes, girls, mark the calendar and prepare to prep your souls.
The teaser trailer is already straight-up cinema. Check it out: Sabrina in a cowboy hat, dramatically spread out across a fog-covered field of hay, exuding “country noir femme fatale” vibes like she’s gonna charm your dad and your boyfriend in the same breath. There’s a burning car in the distance because why not throw a dash of craziness into the heartbreak? The vibe is spooky, boozy, and drenched in the kind of over-the-top melodrama that only Sabrina can deliver. The teaser cuts to a black screen as the word “TEARS” appears in blood-red letters. Subtlety has officially taken flight.
And if the photos weren’t enough to get you queasy, let’s discuss numbers. An estimated 300,000 plus units will supposedly sell in Man’s Best Friend during one week, according to Hits Daily Double. To put that in perspective, that’s “I’m not just a pop princess, but I’m a chart-topping monster” territory.
