POP star Sabrina Carpenter’s new album has fans theorising that she may, at some point, have had sexual intercourse. But can we be certain? Let’s examine the evidence:
Some lyrics may be sexual euphemisms
The track Tears features the lyrics ‘I get wet at the thought of you’, and the line ‘Tears run down my thighs’. Casual listeners will assume these are innocent declarations of how her beau’s responsible behaviour makes her weep with joy. To the suspicious-minded, however, there could be a provocative double-meaning behind the innocent façade.
Verdict: Not definitive proof that she’s done the deed, but interesting to consider.
She’s demonstrated sex positions on stage
As part of the performance of Juno, Sabrina would contort herself into a different pose every night while on tour, saying ‘Have you ever tried this one?’ The poses, interestingly, often correlated with positions used by avid sexers. Though it’s likely Sabrina has read the Karma Sutra purely for its spirituality, not indulged in the act of lovemaking herself.
Verdict: Probably no more than coincidence.
She has a past celebrity relationship
Tongues were set wagging when Sabrina hit the red carpet with Irish bad boy Barry Keoghan who has a son from a previous relationship so is unlikely to be a virgin. Now, it doesn’t logically follow that Sabrina and Barry ever consummated their relationship, perhaps preferring to play Scrabble or watch Pointless, but it does add fuel to the fire.
Verdict: Barry never had sex in that Irish film, so why would he in real life?
She appeals to the male gaze
The controversial cover for album Man’s Best Friend featured Sabrina on her knees with her hair held by an unseen man. Outraged critics claimed a woman who dresses provocatively and is photographed in such a way is implying that she knows her way around a man in the bedroom. But could it be a red herring for her continued virginity?
Verdict: She’s fully clothed, for God’s sake, get your minds out of the gutter.
Conclusion
Sadly, until Sab comes out and tells us the extent of her carnal knowledge, we can only guess whether she has actually gone ‘all the way’ with a boy. Though we’re almost definitely sure that she has kissed one.
