Sabrina Carpenter Teases “Tears” Music Video and It’s Serving Country Chic Chaos
Sabrina Carpenter is proving once again that she’s not just a pop star, but a master of spectacle. The 26-year-old singer-songwriter teased the upcoming music video for her latest single “Tears” yesterday, and fans are already calling it one of her most cinematic eras yet.
The “Tears” video is set to premiere next Friday, August 29, coinciding with the highly anticipated release of Sabrina Carpenter’s new album Man’s Best Friend. If the teaser is any indication, Carpenter is about to unleash her most ambitious visuals to date.
A Country-Noir Aesthetic
The short teaser features Sabrina Carpenter sprawled dramatically across a fog-drenched field of hay, donning a cowboy hat and exuding what fans are calling “country noir femme fatale” energy. With a smoldering look that could “steal your dad and your boyfriend in the same breath,” Sabrina Carpenter flips country chic into pure chaos.

Adding to the drama is a burning car in the background — a fiery symbol of heartbreak, rebellion, and over-the-top melodrama. The teaser closes with the word “TEARS” splashed across the screen in blood-red letters, sealing the video’s cinematic tone.

Commercial Expectations Soar
Beyond the visuals, Carpenter’s upcoming album Man’s Best Friend is already positioned for massive success. Industry projections from Hits Daily Double estimate more than 300,000 units could be sold in its first week. If achieved, that would solidify Carpenter as not just a rising pop sensation but a dominant chart force capable of competing with the industry’s biggest names.
The numbers put Man’s Best Friend in “career-defining” territory, signaling Sabrina Carpenter’s full arrival as a global pop powerhouse.
Sabrina Carpenter’s Bold Reinvention
While Carpenter has always leaned into playful pop-girl theatrics, “Tears” represents a darker, bolder reinvention. By blending elements of country chic with noir-inspired melodrama, she’s creating a fresh aesthetic that sets her apart in a crowded pop landscape.
From emails i can’t send to Short n’ Sweet, Carpenter has consistently delivered growth with each album. But fans and critics alike agree: Man’s Best Friend may be the project that cements her as one of the defining pop icons of the decade.
The “Tears” music video drops August 29, the same day as Man’s Best Friend. Given the hype surrounding the teaser, fans can expect a full rollout of visuals, performances, and potentially record-breaking numbers.
As one fan aptly wrote under the teaser clip: “Sabrina Carpenter isn’t just serving pop-girl drama — she’s serving legend in the making.”
