Sabrina Carpenter defends bold image against music execs' 'regressive' criticism

Sabrina Carpenter has responded to criticism from music producers Mike Stock, Matt Aitken, and Pete Waterman, who labeled her performances and image as 'lazy' and 'offensive.' In an interview, Carpenter defended her confidence and sexuality, stating that if critics can't handle her self-expression, they should not attend her shows. She highlighted a historical pattern of female artists being shamed for their sexuality, referencing iconic figures like Rihanna, Britney Spears, and Madonna. Carpenter emphasized that discussions surrounding her performances often ignore her messages about self-care and body positivity. She described the critics' views as 'totally regressive' and advocated for women to support one another against such judgments. The singer is set to continue her 'Short n' Sweet World Tour' later this year, encouraging fans to embrace confidence and authenticity.
