Sabrina Carpenter’s new video for ‘Tears’ is inspired by the cult classic film ‘Rocky Horror Picture Show’, and features Colman Domingo in drag.
In the theatrical video, Carpenter is shown lying in a field after a car crash, only to discover a house in the middle of nowhere. Domingo accompanies Carpenter as she enters new rooms and meets new characters, and the two share a dance break.
‘Tears’ is taken off Carpenter’s seventh album, Man’s Best Friend which features 12 new songs including the lead track, “Manchild.” The singer faced backlash for the album’s suggestive cover art, and while appearing on CBS MORNINGS she said: “Like, y’all need to get out more, I think. I was actually shocked, because I think between me and my friends and my family and the people that I always share my music and my art with first, it just wasn’t even a conversation. It was just, like, it’s perfect. For what, for the what the album is, it’s perfect for, you know, kind of what it represents, and everything about it to me just felt like so opposite of, like, the world ending.”
Carpenter explained there was “a lot of pointing fingers” despite no one having heard the project. “They don’t know me. They don’t know my intentions. They don’t know the stories I’m telling. So, I do, I try to take it with a grain of salt and also know that my fans that know me and know the person behind the music will look at that photo and they know exactly what it is. And people that have no idea who I am absolutely look at that photo and go, like, ‘Where are her parents?’ … My parents actually saw the photo and they loved it.”
