Sabrina Carpenter Shows Off 'Mid' Body In Risqué Lingerie

Sabrina Carpenter is once again proving why she’s one of pop’s biggest breakout stars. The 26-year-old singer dropped her much-anticipated music video for "Tears," and fans can’t stop talking about her daring lingerie look. Known for blending playful storytelling with bold visuals, Carpenter takes things up a notch in the sultry video, sparking both praise and criticism across social media. With Sabrina Carpenter at the peak of her career, every move she makes is under the microscope, and this latest release is no exception.

In one of the most talked-about scenes, Carpenter is seen pole dancing in a cornfield, dressed in cream lace lingerie paired with garters and thigh-high stockings. The provocative styling leans into vintage pin-up glamour while still keeping Carpenter’s signature playful edge. Another shot shows her crawling forward in the same ensemble, wide-eyed under glowing light, amplifying the intensity of the moment.

The lingerie look quickly became the focal point of fan discussions, as many praised Carpenter’s confidence and boldness while others questioned whether the over-the-top visuals really delivered.

Social media lit up with reactions as soon as the video dropped, and the responses couldn’t have been more divided. Some fans hailed Carpenter as “a goddess,” “awesome,” and “hot,” celebrating the star’s confidence and daring visuals. Others doubled down on calling her a “hottie” and said they couldn’t believe “how someone can be this awesome.”

But not everyone was impressed. One fan bluntly labeled the look as “mid,” while another argued that Carpenter sometimes seems “more like a meme than a real woman.”

Beyond the buzz over her lingerie-clad video moments, Carpenter is also making waves with her music. On Friday, the singer dropped her seventh studio album, "Man’s Best Friend," arriving just one year after her Grammy-winning project "Short n’ Sweet." “I was just going through a lot and I was like, ‘well, I could either sit and sulk about it, or I could write about it,’” Carpenter told "CBS Mornings." “And it doesn’t mean I have to put any of this out.”

The album, which features collaborations with Jack Antonoff, John Ryan, and Amy Allen, came together in what Carpenter described as a band-like atmosphere. “It felt like a band in a lot of ways. Like, someone’s on the drums, and someone’s over here playing the synth, and then we’re on the tambourine. … Then I’m cutting vocals. We’re all doing gang vocals together,” she explained.

Carpenter also addressed the viral debate surrounding the album’s original cover art, admitting that her growing openness about sexuality influenced her writing and creative direction. “When I started, you know, becoming more sexual as a person, I think it’s just something that’s a part of life. You want to write about it,” she said. “I didn’t realize it was as taboo of a topic until I started writing about it more freely.”

While Carpenter’s bold visuals and lyrics have sparked plenty of online debate, the pop star admits she’s not trying to please everyone. “You don’t have to like what I do,” she said candidly. “I think there’s this weird misconception that every artist has to check every box for everyone to like everything about them.”

Instead, Carpenter says her focus is on the fans who connect to her storytelling. “I just hope the people I’m speaking to through my music feel the connection and can relate,” she added. “Then I’m happy.”

The singer has previously compared her music and her life to a movie, complete with suspenseful twists, cliffhangers, and unexpected highs and lows. While she admits her journey has been anything but linear, Carpenter says she’s currently “in a lovely place,” both personally and artistically.

With her daring visuals, candid reflections on sexuality, and unapologetic approach to making music on her own terms, Sabrina Carpenter is proving she’s not chasing universal approval. Instead, she’s chasing authenticity and doesn't care what the public thinks.
