Sabrina Carpenter Opens Up About Working with Barry Keoghan

Sabrina Carpenter has recently released her sixth album, *Short’n’Sweet*, on August 23, amidst swirling rumors about her relationship with actor Barry Keoghan. The album features the hit single “Please Please Please,” which Carpenter collaborated on with Keoghan, who portrays a troubled character she attempts to reform. Despite speculation about their breakup, Carpenter expressed her appreciation for their creative partnership during promotional interviews. In a candid discussion, Carpenter acknowledged the intense scrutiny that comes with fame, particularly in the age of social media. She reflected on the challenges of being a public figure, stating, “It’s not what I signed up for, but I can’t really help when I was born.” The 26-year-old artist emphasized her desire to write authentically about her experiences as a young woman, while also recognizing the pressures that accompany her celebrity status. Earlier this week, Carpenter took to TikTok to address what she described as “entitled” fan behavior, including stalking and harassment directed at her and her family. She criticized the normalization of such actions, asserting that she has the right to refuse unwanted attention. “I don’t want whatever the f*** you think you’re supposed to be entitled to whenever you see a celebrity,” she stated, reinforcing her boundaries regarding personal space and privacy. As Carpenter navigates her rising stardom, she remains focused on her music and personal growth, while advocating for respect and understanding from her fans.
