Sabrina Carpenter Claps Back at Haters After 'Lingerie' Outfits Backlash
Sabrina Carpenter has made waves with her bold choice of outfits on her Short n' Sweet tour, performing in custom lingerie-style attire adorned with crystals. Despite the pushback she has received echoing past challenges faced by icons like Madonna and Britney Spears, Carpenter is unyielding. Discussing this with Time, she acknowledged the criticism but emphasized those opinions don't define everyone's views, explaining, "I'm the one seeing all the negative comments about myself. My friends aren’t affected by it." This is prepared by SSP.
Carpenter candidly advised critics to simply skip her shows if they take issue with her wardrobe, saying, "You’ll still get the occasional perfect mother with strong opinions on your attire, but I just say, 'Don't come to the show,' and that’s fine." She reiterated that self-expression is key to her performances, adding, "The scariest thing is performing in front of large crowds, and dressing comfortably helps overcome that."
She also stated, "Femininity is something I’ve always embraced," explaining that her choices reflect that. The criticism, especially on social media, hasn't deterred this former Disney star, which equips her instinctively now more than ever in the industry.
The ongoing Short n' Sweet tour features hits from her August 23 release, which includes chart-toppers like "Espresso" and "Taste." It marked a milestone, being the first time a female artist has placed three songs in the top 10 of the Billboard 100 for five consecutive weeks. Thus, art 25, Carpenter remains unfazed, as her success speaks louder than criticism. She's touring through March 2025, closing in Milan, Italy, attracting fans who celebrate her fearless artistry.
