When Sabrina Carpenter decides to spoil her fans, she doesn’t just throw them a bone, she throws them a full-course pop feast. Last night in New York City, the 25-year-old pop star invited just 26 lucky fans to a private listening party for her upcoming album Man’s Best Friend, and by all accounts, it was nothing short of holy.
Carpenter took to Twitter after the event, writing:
“Last night we continued the Man’s Best Friend play dates on the east coast with 26 of my NYC darlings and the magic/energy in the room as we listened top to bottom was so unbelievably special. tears and laughter and lots of screaming lol. not a phone in sight just the best vibes ever! We’re really counting down now… 10 days left 🍷🐾”
Yes, you read that right, no phones, just vibes. Fans laughed, cried, and screamed their way through the record, basking in Carpenter’s signature cocktail of heartbreak, pettiness, and pure chaotic joy.
Social Media Is Having a Meltdown
Even those who didn’t snag an invite couldn’t help but gush online:
- “i love her so much actually”
- “Feels so sweet to see an artist so happy to share her new work with her fan 💛”
- “congrats to everyone who had the chance to attend! this looks like a dream 🥹”
- “My dream date… cute”
The jealousy is palpable, but so is the love. Fans are treating these listening parties like Willy Wonka golden tickets and Sabrina is both Wonka and the chocolate.
The Tracklist That’s About to Eat August Alive
Man’s Best Friend officially drops August 29, and the tracklist looks like a pop girl manifesto written in eyeliner on the bathroom mirror after a breakup:
- Manchild
- Tears
- My Man On Willpower
- Sugar Talking
- We Broke Up Again Last Night
- Nobody’s Son
- Never Getting Laid
- When Did You Get Hot?
- Go Go Juice
- Don’t Worry I’ll Make You Worry
- House Tour
- Goodbye
The lead single Manchild already debuted at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in June and is still camped out in the Top 40 like an ex who doesn’t know when to leave. Meanwhile, “Busy Woman” from the Short ’n Sweet deluxe edition is still holding steady at #35, proving Sabrina has the charts on lock.
Pop’s New Power Duo: Taybrina
And just when you thought Sabrina was only serving her own fans, she’s also feeding the entire pop ecosystem. The singer is officially featured on the title track of Taylor Swift’s upcoming album The Life of a Showgirl, dropping October 3. Swift announced the collab on her boyfriend Travis Kelce’s New Heights podcast, and the internet promptly combusted. The “Taybrina” alliance is giving pure power-duo energy, and pop culture isn’t ready for the fallout.
Ten Days Until the Feast
We are officially ten days away from Man’s Best Friend, and the anticipation feels like waiting for Christmas morning if Santa was hot, petty, and could belt a middle eight that makes you sob in traffic.
Sabrina Carpenter isn’t just releasing an album. She’s staging a full-scale pop event, complete with tears, laughter, exclusivity, and the kind of chaotic sparkle only she can deliver.
And when it finally drops? August is hers.
