Sabrina Carpenter Calls Men “Entertaining,” Says Women Have Long Had to “Train” Them

Her Vogue Italia cover story frames her gender commentary as satire born of personal experience.

Overview

  • In a new Vogue Italia interview published Sept. 23, Sabrina Carpenter described men as a “super entertaining species” and said she feels both “adored” by some and “attacked and ridiculed” by others.
  • She added that women have “always kind of had to train” men, presenting the line with the humor she often uses to process uncomfortable moments.
  • Carpenter said she is “doing a lot of writing right now,” noting the creative push comes even after releasing two albums in two years.
  • She continues to defend the Man’s Best Friend cover—depicting her on all fours with a man pulling her hair—as cheeky and metaphorical, emphasizing she was “clearly in control” of the image.
  • Following a No. 1 debut and heavy streaming for the album, outlets report she has high‑profile bookings ahead, including a Grand Ole Opry debut, first‑time Saturday Night Live hosting, and a Coachella 2026 headlining slot.
