Sabrina Carpenter Teases Mysterious “Punishment” After Controversial Album Cover Reveal

Ever scroll through your feed, stumble on a pop star’s album cover, and think, “Well, that’s gonna get someone grounded—or at least sent to the principal’s office?” No? Maybe that’s just me… but Sabrina Carpenter’s new album artwork for Man’s Best Friend doesn’t exactly whisper subtlety, does it? I mean, when was the last time a singer sparked this much chatter with nothing but an image—before any music even drops? There’s something absolutely hilarious (and, okay, a bit jaw-dropping) about issuing a press statement promising that ‘Daddy’ will rain down justice for your PR crimes . That’s bold. It actually makes me wonder, in an age of choreographed outrage and carefully constructed apologies, where’s the line between apology and performance art? Strap yourself in—things get weirder from here. If you’re itching to see what all the fuss is about, here’s the proof: <a href="https://theonion.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/SabrinaCarpenterNIBIHAGR.jpg”>LEARN MORE.

LOS ANGELES—Faced with criticism after posting the suggestive cover of her forthcoming album Man’s Best Friend, pop star Sabrina Carpenter released a statement Monday assuring her fans that Daddy will punish her over it. “To any of my fans who were offended by the provocative album artwork, please know that I will be appropriately disciplined by Daddy for being a bad, bad girl,” said the 26-year-old “Espresso” singer, sharing that Daddy had already threatened to lock her in the naughty cage and throw away the key. “Daddy gets very angry with me when I disobey his orders not to engage in PR stunts, but I just couldn’t help myself, and I deserve to be spanked. I hope the young girls who look up to me know that misbehaving leads to a lesson from Daddy using the flogger. I promise it won’t happen again without Daddy’s permission.” At press time, Carpenter confirmed she was getting excited just thinking about begging for Daddy’s forgiveness.
