Overview

• In a new Vogue Italia interview published Sept. 23, Sabrina Carpenter described men as a “super entertaining species” and said she feels both “adored” by some and “attacked and ridiculed” by others.
• She added that women have “always kind of had to train” men, presenting the line with the humor she often uses to process uncomfortable moments.
• Carpenter said she is “doing a lot of writing right now,” noting the creative push comes even after releasing two albums in two years.
• She continues to defend the Man’s Best Friend cover—depicting her on all fours with a man pulling her hair—as cheeky and metaphorical, emphasizing she was “clearly in control” of the image.
• Following a No. 1 debut and heavy streaming for the album, outlets report she has high‑profile bookings ahead, including a Grand Ole Opry debut, first‑time Saturday Night Live hosting, and a Coachella 2026 headlining slot.
