Pop star Sabrina Carpenter stirred controversy with her recent comments on social media, illustrating the pitfalls of celebrities wading into political debates. On Tuesday, Carpenter took to X to denounce the use of her music by the Trump administration, calling the accompanying video a “disgusting” representation of an “inhumane agenda” related to immigration enforcement. Carpenter’s tweet read, “Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda.”
However, her outrage quickly drew scrutiny from sharp-minded users on the platform. They pointed out Carpenter’s hypocrisy stemming from her own use of a Catholic church as a backdrop for a music video. In this particular video for her 2023 song “Feather,” Carpenter appeared scantily clad, performing in front of the altar. One observer responded with biting criticism: “Do not ever involve my Church in your music to benefit your evil agenda.”
The contradiction didn’t stop there. Comments on her post seized upon her previous performance antics, where she jokingly “arrested” a concertgoer using pink prop handcuffs while performing another song. Critics highlighted that she is better known for her provocative performances than her vocal talent, questioning any moral high ground she might claim. “You used a Catholic Church to film a music video laden with sexual innuendo,” one user pointedly remarked. Another comment emphasized that Carpenter had indeed “lost the right to call things evil and disgusting” once she had engaged in such blatant displays of indecency.
Compounding Carpenter’s moral ambiguity is her apparent silence on serious issues, such as the crimes committed by illegal immigrants. One user bluntly noted her selective outrage: “You were quick to label a video ‘evil’ and ‘inhumane,’ yet you’ve shown no interest in the American women MURDERED by illegal aliens.” This observation challenges Carpenter’s claims of compassion and exposes what critics regard as her hollowness in moral reasoning.
In the end, Carpenter’s foray into political commentary serves as a reminder: when entertainers attempt to position themselves as moral arbiters, they must first consider their own choices and the messages they project. For now, if one is looking for insights on good and evil, it may be best to look elsewhere.
