Sabrina Carpenter shares a passionate kiss with Jenna Ortega in the dramatic and blood-soaked music video for "Taste."

 Sabrina Carpenter's latest music video has fans craving more. On Friday, she released her sixth studio album, “Short ‘n’ Sweet,” alongside the music video for her single “Taste,” featuring Jenna Ortega of Wednesday fame.

The song explores Carpenter’s feelings upon discovering that her ex is back with his former flame (Ortega), leading to a fierce confrontation between the two. In the chorus, Carpenter sings, “I heard you’re back together, and if that’s true/ You’ll just have to taste me when he’s kissin’ you.”

The music video opens with Carpenter stealthily approaching Ortega, knife in hand, only to find that the actress isn’t where she expected. Ortega, ready for a showdown, enters the scene with a shotgun and takes aim at Carpenter from a balcony. The video escalates as Carpenter channels her inner Psycho, storming into the bathroom to confront Ortega and the mystery man in the shower.

The fierce rivalry culminates in a bloody battle, but it takes a surprising turn when the two share a passionate kiss. In the end, spoiler alert: the boyfriend, played by Rohan Campbell from Halloween, meets his demise, leaving Carpenter and Ortega to attend his funeral together, bonding over milkshakes as they walk off into the sunset.

Fans have taken to the comments, praising the video with remarks like, “The kiss, the outfits, the plot—OMG, I think we’ve found ourselves a winner!” and “Sabrina making a horror music video with horror princess Jenna is iconic as hell.” Horror enthusiasts expressed their delight at the references throughout the video, emphasizing Ortega’s presence as a highlight.

In an interview with Variety, Carpenter described Short ‘n’ Sweet as “the hot older sister” to her previous album, “Emails I Can’t Send.” She considers it her second “big girl” album, highlighting the creative control she embraced. Carpenter mentioned her inspiration draws from the glamorous vibes of the ’60s and ’90s, reflecting the fun and flirty nature of her new work.

As Carpenter prepares to hit the road for her Sweet ‘n’ Sour tour, which kicks off on September 23 in Columbus, Ohio, fans can look forward to seeing her live before she takes her music to the UK and Europe in 2025.
