Sabrina Carpenter and Jenna Ortega Kiss and Murder Each Other in Hilariously Gory ‘Taste’ Video
Sabrina Carpenter and Jenna Ortega: The “graphic violence” warning that appears at the beginning of Sabrina Carpenter‘s video for her brand-new single “Taste — from her just-released sixth album “Short n’ Sweet” — has one thinking at first that the playful revenge fantasies of the two previous videos have gotten serious.
But strange as it might sound, the murder weapons, amputations and buckets of blood that she and Jenna Ortega spill in the hilariously Tarantino-ish clip with references to the 1992 film “Death Becomes Her” are more like a cartoon.
Stay with this part of celebrities from the series of entertainment in Eternal Pen magazine.

Sabrina Carpenter and Jenna Ortega: As they fight over a boyfriend (played by fellow “Halloween” actor Rohan Campbell), Ortega sets Carpenter on fire, cuts her arm off, throws her out of a window and impales her on a white picket fence, and electrocutes her — and it’s actually hilarious, and of course Carpenter gives as good as she gets.
Spoiler alert: The pair end up comparing notes on the boyfriend as they walk away from his funeral together, sipping coffees.
Carpenter is credited as a songwriter for “Taste” alongside Julia Michaels and Amy Allen, while John Ryan and Ian Kirkpatrick are credited as producers.
The tracklist for “Short n’ Sweet” (out Friday) also includes top five singles “Please Please Please” and “Espresso,” along with unreleased songs “Sharpest Tools,” “Coincidence,” “Good Graces,” “Slim Pickins,” “Juno,” “Lie to Girls,” “Bed Chem,” “Dumb & Poetic,” and “Don’t Smile.”
Carpenter recently teased the album to Variety, describing the album as “the hot older sister” of “Emails.” “It’s my second ‘big girl’ album,” she said.
“It’s a companion but it’s not the same. When it comes to having full creative control and being a full-fledged adult, I would consider this a sophomore album.”
Sabrina Carpenter and Jenna Ortega: The “Sweet n’ Sour” tour will begin with a North American leg on Sept. 23 in Columbus, Ohio, before moving through the UK and Europe in 2025.
Carpenter has already sold out a run of 33 arena shows in North America, including dates in New York’s Madison Square Garden and the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. Amaarae, Griff and Declan McKenna will be supporting Carpenter on the North American tour, while Rachel Chinouriri will be joining her as the support act on the new run of international dates.
