Sabrina Carpenter’s Tears Video Gets a New Grisly Twist ️

LOS ANGELES – August 29, 2025
Sabrina Carpenter debuted her cinematic and campy new music video for Tears, the second single from her seventh album Man’s Best Friend. Directed by Bardia Zeinali, the visual is rich with The Rocky Horror Picture Show aesthetic—complete with drag, disco, and a touch of dark humor—starring Oscar-nominee Colman Domingo as a Frank-N-Furter–style guide into a bizarre, hedonistic world.

A Deadly Tradition Continues…

After surviving a car crash and entering a haunted house, Carpenter’s character discovers her presumed-dead lover. With deadpan wit, she quips, “It’s a thing, someone has to die every video,” before plunging a stiletto into his chest—a hallmark of Sabrina’s “men don’t survive her visuals” universe.

️ Enter the Alternate Ending

On September 1, Carpenter surprised fans by dropping a second, even darker ending. In this version, the lover emerges from the woods—alive but frail—only to be struck by lightning and crushed by a falling tree. Carpenter simply remarks, “I told him to move over,” then walks away, leaving viewers questioning her chilling detachment.

Why It Matters

• Narrative boldness: Sabrina turned her music video into a short film with dual endings, echoing cult classics like Clue and Rocky Horror.

• Visual identity: The video blends horror, camp, and sexual empowerment—solidifying Carpenter’s reputation for playful and provocative storytelling.

• Drag and backlash: Domingo’s confident, provocative drag performance drew praise from fans and praise from Domingo himself, who invoked RuPaul’s mantra: “We are born naked and everything else is drag”.
