Sabrina Carpenter is on cloud nine after earning a Grammy nomination for the music video of her single “Manchild.” However, the 26-year-old singer recently admitted that the same music video might make viewers question their sobriety. During her appearance at the latest episode of “Late Night with Seth Meyers,” Carpenter specifically mentioned that viewers could feel they’re on “drugs.” Subsequently, she also explained why things might go that way.
Sabrina Carpenter describes ‘Manchild’ video to Seth Meyers
Sabrina Carpenter began discussing “Manchild” with Seth Meyers on his show by expressing her elation about the song’s achievements. She disclosed that the official music video of the track earned her the first Grammy nomination of her career in the Music Video category. Music enthusiasts have watched various types of music videos win the Grammys. They might be story-driven, abstract, or based on real incidents. However, Carpenter’s comments while describing the music video of “Manchild” indicated that it was in a league of its own.
The singer disclosed that the video features whatever thoughts she had in her mind while writing the song. Now, as the human mind often works in strange ways, the music video of “Manchild” is full of bizarre imagery; for example, shooting the cue ball on a pool table with a gun instead of using a cue stick.
Carpenter highlighted that the collection of weird scenes in the music video might make many question their eyes and judgment. “That was actually the video in my head when I was writing the song, and I couldn’t believe it came to life,” said the musician. “It’s just one of those videos, where you watch, and you’re just like, ‘Wait! What? I need to go back and watch that. Was that, like, a cow on its head?’ or ‘Am I on drugs?’ or ‘What’s going on.'”
The weird imagery makes it challenging to determine Carpenter‘s real vision behind them. However, the song’s title and a few visuals, including one that shows pigs after Carpenter calls out “hey men,” might be enough for many to realize the song’s theme. However, only time can tell whether “Manchild’s” uncanny music video will manage to fetch Carpenter her first Grammy in the Music Video category.
