She’s the pint-sized pop princess currently storming the charts. 

And fans are once more going wild for Sabrina Carpenter, as she released her latest album, Short n’ Sweet on Friday, August 23. 

Filled with tracks such as her recent hit singles Espresso and Please, Please, Please – which both topped the Billboard Global 200 charts this year  – the singer, 25, has impressed critics with her offering.

But it was the video for the first song on the record which really got fans talking this week.

Titled Taste, Carpenter enlisted the help of Wednesday actor Jenna Ortega to shoot the kooky video – which delighted viewers. 

The pair can be seen referencing several horror movies throughout the shoot, including Death Becomes Her, Ginger Snaps and Alfred Hitchcock’s classic horror, Psycho.

“‘TASTE’ music video is out now,” she told her 37.9 million followers. “So proud and excited for you sweet girl. Absolutely loved making this one, thank you for having me. How special. I’d kill for you whenever…”

Ortega added, “Go listen to SHORT & SWEET the album. @sabrinacarpenter you are a light x.”
