Sabrina Carpenter announced her new tune will be released later this week and had her fans adamant it was a brutal dig toward ex-boyfriend, Irish star Barry Keoghan
Sabrina Carpenter appeared to take aim at her ex Barry Keoghan as she announced her latest tune. The actress-turned-singer revealed her latest sing on Tuesday, taking to Instagram to make her announcement.
She said her newest music will be released on Thursday evening and will be titled Manchild. The 26-year-old star had shared a tease video for the tune earlier in the week prior to Tuesday’s confirmation.
Her latest reveal seemed to be a dig at the actor. She wrote: “This one’s about you!! “Manchild” is out this Thursday 6/5 8pm EST. special 7” vinyl available now.”
And sharing lyrics from the song, she said: “Inside of your head when you’ve just won an argument with a man.”
In the video, Sabrina is seen wearing a white top, a pair of cheeky denim shorts and course, platform high heels. She is spotted hitchhiking in the clip, but is ignored by two cars passing by.
The 17-second clip is silent, with no music heard over the scene. It ends with Sabrina saying “Oh, boy.”
The upload quickly get fans talking, and many seemed in agreement that the message was aimed at the Irishman. One user wrote: “And we know who you are talking about diva.”
Another agreed, saying: “Oh barry u are so over.” A third added : “DRAG HIM BABE WE CANT WAIT.”
Following her reveal, a number of billboards have been spotted across different cities in the US. Some of the signs say: ‘I swear they choose me, I’m not choosing them’, ‘Amen’, Hey men!’ and ‘Manchild’.
The singer is currently in the middle of her tour, ‘Short n’ Sweet’.
Sabrina and Barry were first romantically linked back in 2023. The duo didn’t go official until the following year, making their first public appearance at the after party at the Grammy Awards.
With things seemingly going well, the Saltburn star even featured in Sabrina’s Please, Please, Please song. It’s thought the tune was about him too.
Their linkup wasn’t to last, with their relationship breaking down in December 2024. Reports claimed the duo had decided to call it quits in a bid to focus on their careers.
The duo almost had an awkward reunion as they both attended this year’s Met Gala in New York. The Espresso hitmaker and the dad-of-one posed together at the event in May last year after being first linked months prior. Three months later it was reported Sabrina and Barry had split up, with the Saltburn actor deactivating his social media accounts and issuing a damning statement as fans speculated he had cheated on his ex.
