Even bad publicity is good publicity, as Sabrina Carpenter is intimately aware.
The pop singer’s latest album, “Man’s Best Friend,” dropped August 29. While general reception to the album cover and title has been mixed, the controversy raised the volume on conversation surrounding the release.
Excited Carpenters can save on streaming, merch and concert tickets for Sabrina’s latest tour by using credit cards.
Talk of the Town
“Man’s Best Friend” is Carpenter’s seventh studio album, featuring 12 tracks.
The artist has had a career-defining year, with a meteoric rise to superstardom in 2024. Billboard named her the second greatest pop star of the year, behind Kendrick Lamar, who dominated with his Drake diss track, “Not Like Us.”
Upon release, “Manchild,” the lead single from “Man’s Best Friend,” rocketed to No. 1 on Billboard’s Pop Airplay chart on the radio ranking for September 6. This marks the third track Carpenter has landed on the top of the chart in 2025, compared to all other competitors who’ve only managed to land one.
Sabrina is currently on the road with a return of her Short N’ Sweet tour, playing multiple night runs in cities like New York, Toronto, Nashville and Pittsburgh.
