“THAT WEIRD” Jenna Ortega SPOKE OUT Sabrina Carpenter’s Strange Actions During Kiss Her Scenes in New MV That Garnered 19M Views in a Day
Sabrina Carpenter has celebrated hitting a huge milestone with her gory video for her new single ‘Taste’.
The actress and singer, 25, may have been on the scene for a while, but she has exploded into mega-stardom this year – thanks to her hit track ‘Espresso’.
Ready to capitalise on her newfound popularity, Carpenter has just released her highly-anticipated sixth new album Short n’ Sweet – and what better way to do it than dropping a new music video depicting a gory and vengeful love triangle.
Starring Wednesday star and scream queen icon Jenna Ortega, 21, the ‘Taste’ video sees the two women play jealous lovers competing over a boyfriend.
Throughout the three minute video, Ortega and Carpenter are seen battling it out with various weapons such as knives, chainsaws, voodoo dolls and picket fences, accidentally taking out their dearly beloved in the process.
The video is also packed full of references to various cult movies from the past couple of decades, such as Kill Bill Vol. 1, Death Becomes Her, Psycho, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and even a nod to her ‘Please, Please, Please’ video.
It’s no surprise then that new Sabrina Carpenter song + Jenna Ortega + movie Easter eggs = huge hit with fans, as the video is now the number one trending video on YouTube after racking up 13 million views in one day alone.
The warm reception has clearly delighted the singer as well, as she has since taken to Instagram to share her joy over the milestone.
She posted a clip from the video alongside the caption: “#1 trending video thank you so much!!!”
Whether it’s the catchy nature of the song or the fact that Carpenter and Ortega kiss at one point, the ‘Taste’ video has certainly gotten fans talking – and watching.
“I’ve watched this an unhealthy amount of times,” one person wrote, while a second fan said: “Someone give them their Oscar now.”
‘Taste’ has even received the seal of approval from Paris Hilton herself, with the socialite dropping a love-heart face emoji in the comments.
