Sabrina Carpenter, who is rumored to be newly single, features in a strikingly bold music video for her song "Taste," where she shares a kiss with Jenna Ortega.
Sabrina Carpenter Kisses Jenna Ortega As They Rip Each Other Apart In Gory Taste Music Video
Jenna, aged 21, and 25-year-old Sabrina engage in a dramatic showdown over a man, portrayed by Rohan Campbell, known for his role in "Halloween Ends."
The video shows the two as competing girlfriends who literally tear each other apart, drawing inspiration from the style of Quentin Tarantino's films.
The video also nods to the 1992 dark comedy "Death Becomes Her," starring Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn, who play two immortal women caught in a gruesomely funny feud.
In the "Taste" video, Sabrina and Jenna are embroiled in a fierce and increasingly gory battle.
Despite the chaos, they find a moment for a passionate kiss.
However, their kiss is just a ruse; as soon as they part, Jenna attacks Sabrina with a giant buzz-saw, gruesomely hitting her midsection and splattering blood on her dress.
The video is a wild ride of dark comedy and violence.
It kicks off with Jenna shooting Sabrina, causing her to tumble over a balcony and land on a fence.
As Jenna celebrates her apparent victory, Sabrina retaliates by throwing a knife that strikes Jenna in the eye, shocking her.
The next scene cuts to a hospital where Sabrina has a piece of fence removed from her back.
Jenna then appears, shocking Sabrina with a defibrillator.
Jenna relentlessly attacks Sabrina, setting her on fire and severing one of her arms with a large sickle.
In a climactic scene by the pool where they share a kiss, their intense rivalry accidentally leads to them killing the boyfriend instead.
Both Sabrina and Jenna attend the funeral in matching black outfits, where stylized yellow credits reminiscent of a Tarantino movie roll in front of them onscreen.
This music video release follows rumors that Sabrina has broken up with her boyfriend, Barry Keoghan, known for his role in "Saltburn," due to his 'party animal' lifestyle.
Barry and Sabrina were first linked publicly late last year and confirmed their relationship at a Grammys party in February, though they have been private about their personal lives.
Recently, a source claimed they split because Sabrina was frustrated with Barry's behavior when intoxicated.
"Barry acts like an idiot when he is drunk and Sabrina was getting increasingly frustrated," an insider commented about their breakup.
"He has always been a party animal, and Sabrina was fed up with his antics. She is soaring in the charts and is focusing on herself as she prepares for her upcoming tour," the source further told The Sun.
People magazine also reported that Barry and Sabrina's relationship has been 'on and off.'
Barry reportedly met Sabrina in September 2023, shortly after rumors surfaced that he had ended his relationship with his longtime girlfriend, Alyson Kierans, with whom he has a son named Brando.
A source suggested to The Sun that Barry's partying was a source of conflict, leading to their eventual split.
When Barry discussed the breakup in an early-year GQ interview, he only praised Alyson as an 'incredible mother.'
Meanwhile, Sabrina's romantic life has been a topic of speculation, especially during the summer of 2020, amid rumors of a love triangle involving Joshua Bassett and Olivia Rodrigo from "High School Musical: The Musical: The Series."
The situation escalated when Olivia released her hit single "Driver's License" in the following year, which many believe references Joshua and Sabrina.
'And you're probably with that blonde girl, who always made me doubt. She's so much older than me,' Olivia sang, highlighting the age difference between herself and Sabrina.
Over the years, Sabrina has also been linked with figures like pop singer Shawn Mendes, actor Dylan O'Brien from "Teen Wolf," and YouTuber David Dobrik.
