Sabrina Carpenter’s cheeky new album cover

Her new album is titled “Man’s Best Friend”. She has a huge lgbt and gay male fan base. But some of her mainly female fans aren’t loving this album cover, because it’s antifeminist and puts her in a submissive role.

I thought the album cover was cute. She is known for being very cheeky.

I personally like some of her songs from her “short and sweet” album, and rate her as an average plus vocalist.

Her new album came out overnight, and I must say it’s actually a banger with so many bops. It’s very retro 80s and early 90s style. I don’t normally like new albums on the first listen, but this one I really enjoyed.

I'm a thumbs down for the album cover because it projects an image of physical abuse.  Color me woke.

I have almost no awareness of current performers/celebrities.  The tone of the photo aside, she has a certain resemblance to Debbie Harry 😍 🤩

The Grand Ole Opry is often called the heart of country music, and for more than a century, it’s lived up to that name. Since its founding in 1925, the iconic Nashville venue has become a rite of passage for country artists and a symbol of tradition.

So when the Opry announced that pop star Sabrina Carpenter would be stepping into the circle on October 7, fans were quick to weigh in.

The official announcement came via the Opry’s Instagram account on September 19. “Oh, boy! @sabrinacarpenter is making her Opry debut! The two-time Grammy-award winning global superstar just released her 7th studio album ‘Man’s Best Friend’ and we can’t wait to welcome her to the Opry stage on October 7. See you soon, Sabrina!”

Carpenter, 26, is without a doubt becoming a rising force in pop music. With seven studio albums and multiple chart-topping hits to her name, the former Disney Channel star has built a successful career on her own terms. Still, her name isn’t exactly synonymous with country music, and that left some longtime fans conflicted.

While some fans praised the move, others expressed confusion, asking questions like, “Ok love her so much but why is she at the Opry” and “She’s pop not country. What is happening with the Opry!!???” One comment even called her debut a “disgrace to country music.”

On the flip side, many supporters defended her appearance. Some highlighted that Carpenter has country influences in her sound and has teamed up with a country icon, Dolly Parton, for a version of her single “Please Please Please.” For those fans, her Opry debut feels like less of a stretch than critics are claiming.

It's worth mentioning that the Opry has a long history of opening its doors to artists outside traditional country circles. Performers like Paramore, Pharrell Williams and Steven Tyler have all graced the Opry stage. While the venue honors its roots, it has continued to evolve alongside the changing times and the music that resonates with new generations of fans.
