Sabrina Carpenter is not only one of the biggest superstars of the pop world but also an artist so cheeky and fun that I think she could probably take over the world if she wanted. She's also a Phillies fan, which makes me very happy. The video for her latest single follows Carpenter on a visually rich road trip through the American West, where she leaves a string of comically inept men in her dust. Directed by Vania Heymann and Gal Muggia, the piece swaps the genre's traditional violence for witty satire, crafting a clever homage to female empowerment cinema where the ultimate payback is simply walking away.Let's dive in. Sabrina Carpenter's 'Manchild' Music VideoSabrina Carpenter's latest music video for her single "Manchild," released this morning and has ignited conversations not just for its catchy tune and scathing lyrics about immature men, but for its cinematic and arguably subversive visuals. It's one of those videos that has lived up to the pre-drop hype, and that has everyone on the internet sharing theories. Directed by Vania Heymann and Gal Muggia, the video presents a "crazy road trip" through the American West, where Carpenter encounters a series of inept and cartoonishly incompetent male companions. I think the visual language here is an homage to the female empowerment film genre. My main reason for thinking this is Carpenter trekking through the Old West, in an Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore or even Thelma and Louise vibes. We get her hitchhiking, like It Happened...
