Sabrina Carpenter calls out critics of suggestive album cover as hypocrites

Sabrina Carpenter explained the artistic vision behind her criticized album cover, revealing it took multiple attempts to capture the playful, empowering image she wanted.

"There is a generation that gets offended by some of the things I do, and it's a generation that has either young children ... or they've raised children, and they're just sort of looking at it from a different point in their life – sort of scolding," Carpenter said during an interview with Zane Lowe for Apple Music. "And they all had sex - many times – because they popped a lot of kids out. So, I just think about that, and I'm always just like it's so funny. I mean we're all, we're just so judgmental."

"I'm not allowed to have sex, but you are?" Carpenter questioned.
