Sabrina Carpenter Hard Launches Relationship With Barry Keoghan In New Music Video
Sabrina Carpenter’s new song and music video for “Please Please Please” hard launches her relationship with Irish actor Barry Keoghan.
As we reported, the pop star teased the music video on Thursday (June 6), while announcing her sixth studio album, Short n’ Sweet, will be released this summer.
Sabrina Carpenter Hard Launches Relationship With Barry Keoghan
The music video for “Please Please Please” begins with Carpenter sitting in a jail cell but looking all dolled up. As her name is called, she finds out someone bailed her “a– out.” As she nonchalantly applies her lipstick and gets ready to leave, she spots the Saltburn star, clad in an all-black outfit, getting processed into the jail.
With love striking the two at first sight, the next scene shows Carpenter in a luxurious blue velvet hooded outfit visiting Keoghan and talking through a glass. When Barry gets released, she’s waiting for him wearing a fluffy, hot pink coat.
Lyrics for “Please Please Please” detail Carpenter not wanting to be embarrassed by her relationship. She sings, “I know I have good judgment, I know I have good taste. It’s funny and it’s ironic that only I feel that way, yeah.” Later in the song, she warns, “I heard that you’re an actor, so act like a stand-up guy.”
The song warns Keoghan to behave even further as Carpenter states, “Heartbreak is one thing, my ego’s another. I beg you, don’t embarrass me, motherf—er.” The music video shows Keoghan getting into brawls, stuffing people into trunks, sticking up banks with a gun, and getting locked up and freed once more. The playful song ends with Carpenter handcuffing Keoghan to a chair, plastering a piece of duct tape to his mouth, and sealing it with a cherry-red lipstick-stained kiss.
Reacting to Keoghan’s cameo and her song lyrics, fans took to X (formerly Twitter) to share their thoughts. One person wrote, “sabrina carpenter hard launching her relationship with a song that says ‘“’i beg you don’t embarrass me motherf—er’ BYEEEE.” Another fan said, “congratulations barry keoghan for being the first man to ever survive in a sabrina carpenter music video.” A third challenged, “barry keoghan you ain’t special, i too would commit crimes for sabrina carpenter.”
Carpenter told Vogue of Keoghan’s involvement in the music video, “I liked the idea of falling in love with a convict and being shocked and embarrassed every time he commits crimes. I was sooo lucky to get Barry Keoghan in the video cause he is just magic on screen.” Fans scoffed at her luck and wrote things like, “girl you know damn well this was him as soon as you asked.” Another added, “girl if you asked that boy to jump you know he would.”

6 Wild Moments From Coachella
Coachella 2024’s first weekend came and went with a bang. The famous California Music & Arts Festival had us in shock and awe with amazing special guests throughout the weekend.
During weekend one, big names like Bebe Rexha, Tems, Victoria Monet, Renee Rapp, Tyler, the Creator, Lana Del Rey, Ice Spice, Sublime, Vampire Weekend, Doja Cat, J Balvin, Jhene Aiko, No Doubt, Coi Leray, Grimes, 21 Savage, Lauryn Hill, Taking Back Sunday, Lil Yachty, and many more.
As always, famous faces were in attendance, watching their friends perform and letting loose with the rest of the crowd. Notably, Justin Bieber showed up without his wife, Hailey Bieber, adding to the rumors that their marriage isn’t doing well. Meanwhile, love birds Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce hit up multiple stages, watching from the pit and getting super affectionate.
While folks were expecting perfect shows and wild special guests brought on stage during performances, there were some artists who dropped the ball during their set. Grimes kept fumbling with her mixes during her set. She told the crowd that there has never been a show of hers without a “technical difficulty,” and as she tried to explain to the Coachella crowd, she said, “Don’t blame me because it’s not my fault! Well, it’s partially my fault, but it’s not entirely my fault.” In the “classic Grimes fashion,” the musician added that her songs had been set to a double tempo and had to do “a lot of internal math” to try to get it sorted to play for the patiently waiting crowd.

On social media, however, fans were making fun of her meltdown at the technical difficulties, with users pointing out that this isn’t the first time Grimes has done this at her concerts. Meanwhile, one fan said, “This could be the worst performance in the history of Coachella.” She took to X (formerly Twitter) to issue a formal apology to fans. Adding that she “admittedly am not in the best mood atm,” Grimes said her set next week “will be flawless.”
Besides the mishaps, there were plenty of awe-inspiring, wild moments from Coachella’s first weekend.
