Sabrina Carpenter Is So Over Manchildren — And She’s Not Subtle About It
Sabrina Carpenter has had enough. She’s cutting off the red flags disguised as potential boyfriends. While “Espresso” gave us a playful grin, her new single “Manchild” arrives swinging—with a martini in one hand, a smirk on her face, and a flaming middle finger in the air. Clearly, she’s not playing anymore. Instead, she’s fed up, fierce, and fully in control.
She Turned a Jet Ski Ride Into a Fashion Moment
Just two days after the single dropped on June 5, Sabrina released the “Manchild” music video. What followed was chaos, couture, and comedy blended into one unforgettable trip. Think Thelma & Louise with a TikTok twist, finished off with a splash of high-fashion drama.
In the video, directors Vania Heymann and Gal Muggia take us on a surreal road trip. Along the way, Sabrina hitchhikes through a Wild West packed with men who are, quite frankly, doing the absolute least.
As she makes her way from scene to scene, each stop delivers a fresh and ridiculous disaster. Some are laugh-out-loud absurd, while others land as subtle but sharp jabs. Nevertheless, the theme stays consistent. And despite the madness unfolding around her, Sabrina never misses a beat. Unsurprisingly, her look remains flawless from start to finish.
A Wild Ride Through Male Mediocrity
To kick things off, one guy pulls up in a motorized recliner. After that, she’s offered a ride in a motorcycle-shopping cart hybrid. Then, in perhaps the most absurd twist, someone convinces her to ride a jet ski on a highway. Naturally, each ride becomes more chaotic than the last—not just in form, but in symbolism.
These men don’t merely fail in execution. More importantly, they represent deeper dysfunction: the emotional kind. They’re not romantic partners—they’re metaphors for every disappointing situationship women have had to endure.
Even so, Sabrina doesn’t flinch. She lounges across car hoods, struts past the nonsense, and rolls her eyes like royalty. Meanwhile, she serves full glam every step of the way.
She’s Driving Her Own Narrative Now
Ultimately, beneath all the glitter, humor, and slow-motion hair flips, one message rings loud and clear: Sabrina is done being a passenger in someone else’s chaos. Rather than wait around for men to grow up, she’s hitting the gas and carving out her own path.
Now, she’s behind the wheel. She’s calling the shots, setting the pace, and rewriting the rules—entirely on her terms.
