Sabrina Carpenter Releases Alternate Album Cover 'Approved by God' in Response to Backlash
Sabrina Carpenter has unveiled a new alternate cover for her upcoming album, 'Man’s Best Friend,' which she humorously captioned as ‘approved by God.’ This move comes after her original album cover, featuring her in a provocative pose gripped by a man’s hands, sparked considerable controversy among fans and critics.
The alternative cover depicts Carpenter dressed in a glamorous beaded gown, standing confidently as a man looks away into the distance, mimicking a paparazzi shot. Carpenter addressed the backlash on social media, offering signed copies of the album with the new cover available on her website. She expressed her amusement at the criticism, highlighting how her songs often explore themes of sexuality which her audience seems to embrace.
In her interview with Rolling Stone, Carpenter emphasized her desire to stay true to her inspiration without worrying about external expectations, stating, “There are no rules when it comes to creativity, and I choose to listen to what feels right for me.” The artist also received backing from Carly Simon, who defended her artistic choices against the broad spectrum of public opinion.
Effective August 29, Carpenter’s new album is set to drop, reflecting her commitment to artistic freedom and her playful approach to handling controversy.
