Sabrina Carpenter's "Taste" Lyrics & Video, Explained
— Nina Westervelt/Billboard/Getty ImagesSabrina Carpenter has good musical taste, as proven by her breakout hits “Espresso” and “Please Please Please,” and apparently, that extends to her choice of men. On “Taste,” the latest single from her new album, Short n’ Sweet, the singer leaves a sweet-yet-stern warning to her ex-lover’s new girl.Carpenter opens the song by joking about her small but mighty frame, reminding her ex’s new woman that he was interested in her first. “Oh, I leave quite an impression, five feet to be exact,” she quips. “You’re wonderin’ why half his clothes went missin’, my body’s where they’re at.”She predicts every trick her ex is pulling on the new girl, as she’s seen all his moves firsthand — a message that’s similar to Olivia Rodrigo’s 2021 hit “deja vu.” But Carpenter’s memories are a bit less wholesome than watching Glee and eating strawberry ice cream. “He pins you down on the carpet, makes paintings with his tongue,” she sings in the second verse. “Hе’s funny, now all his jokes hit different, guеss who he learned that from?” — Victor Boyko/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty ImagesCarpenter has chosen “Taste” as the third single from her new album, and accompanied its release with a horror-inspired music video co-starring Jenna Ortega. The two get embroiled in a violent battle over Carpenter’s ex, reminiscent of Death Becomes Her, complete with a bloody stomach hole. She references Psycho as well, when Carpenter finds him and Ortega in the shower, before they both realize that he was never worth it.Sabrina Carpenter’s “Taste” LyricsRead the full lyrics to Carpenter’s new single below.
