Sabrina Carpenter just dropped what appears to be a teaser for a new single or even the announcement of her upcoming album. The video, shared on Instagram, shows her with her signature retro filter, walking through the desert wearing barely-there shorts, trying to hitch a ride from a car that simply won’t stop. The scene is silent until, at the end, you hear her smile and a teasing: “oh boy.”
Fans instantly reacted with comments like “She’s securing song of the summer” and “What are you trying to tell us, Sabrina?”. The mystery, combined with the vintage aesthetic and her charisma, seems like a strategy to build anticipation, as she has done before.
Not so sweet? Sabrina Carpenter stirs backlash with bold moves on stage
This type of content is nothing new for her. Although she started her career as an actress in teen series, it was Girl Meets World that began to bring her recognition. During her contract with Hollywood Records, she released four albums even though the deal was for five. However, some fans consider Clouds as a fifth album or special project that would complete that contract. At the time, promotion was limited, and the public mostly saw her as an actress rather than a singer.

Everything changed in 2021, when she left Disney and signed with Island Records. That year, the scandal between Olivia Rodrigo, Joshua Bassett, and Sabrina exploded following the release of Drivers License. Sabrina was seen as the “third wheel,” receiving a lot of hate. Instead of staying silent, she responded smartly with her single Skin, which many interpreted as a direct reply to Olivia.

From scandal to stage, how did Sabrina rebuild her career step by step?
That marked the start of a new chapter. In 2022, she released Emails I Can’t Send, her most honest album yet according to many fans. Thanks to TikTok, several songs from the album went viral, creating a stronger connection with her audience. Then came Feather in 2023, whose music video, filmed in a church, caused controversy leading to the firing of the priest who allowed the shoot and uncovering a network of embezzlement linked to the former chief of staff of New York’s mayor.
She opened for Taylor Swift on the Eras Tour, where her presence and habit of changing lyrics at every show caught the audience’s attention. Later, she shined at Coachella, both with her performance and her publicity. In 2024, she released Espresso, which not only reached the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 but also became the most streamed song on Spotify. It was followed by Please Please Please, another massive hit.
Both tracks were included on her sixth album Short n’ Sweet, alongside Taste. Currently, Sabrina is on a worldwide tour, solidifying her place in global pop.
What sets her apart isn’t just her voice or style, but her ability to adapt, connect with her audience, seize every opportunity, and turn setbacks into momentum. The teaser in the desert may seem simple, but behind that “oh boy” could be another summer anthem in the making.
