Sabrina Carpenter just hard launched her relationship with Barry Keoghan: here’s the story so far
Sabrina Carpenter and Barry Keoghan get hot and horny in the music video to new single Please Please Please (Island Records)
Sabrina Carpenter has dropped the video for her new single “Please Please Please” starring her (now surely official) partner Barry Keoghan – and it’s honestly a fun, horny delight.
The video is partially set in a prison, and stars her real-life boyfriend Barry Keoghan. It’s giving strong “Telephone” by Lady Gaga ft. Beyoncé vibes, and there’s certainly nothing wrong with that.
It starts as Carpenter is released from jail — following her arrest at the end of her “Espresso” music video — and she makes eyes at another inmate (Keoghan) as he’s brought in.
We then see Carpenter visiting Keoghan in prison, before cutting to various scenes showing their relationship, including one where Carpenter sits on the hood of a car in red lingerie while Keoghan kisses her chest.
You wouldn’t get away with that in a Walmart parking lot, that’s for sure.
There are also plenty of scenes showing the criminal antics that landed them in prison, including taking part in what looks like illegal boxing matches in a walk-in fridge. Like you do.
In another scene, the pair rob a bank together, with Sabrina Carpenter rocking a schoolgirl-esque outfit that makes her look a bit like Britney Spears in “Baby One More Time”. The general theme of the video seems to be “please stop doing crimes and repeatedly going to prison, Barry Keoghan”.
But enough about the “Please Please Please” video, you want to know about their relationship. Here’s the tea:
