Sabrina Carpenter Reveals ‘Tears’ Video Featuring Colman Domingo in Drag

Sabrina Carpenter’s seventh album, Man’s Best Friend, is hornier than ever. The much-teased record released on Friday alongside the scintillating video for its second track, “Tears,” featuring Colman Domingo in drag.

The video opens with Carpenter, dressed to kill in a pale blue skirt suit and sun hat, waking up on the ground from a car crash with her seemingly-dead boyfriend in the driver’s seat. She soon stumbles her way toward an incredibly abandoned-looking house in the middle of nowhere and when peeking through the door glimpses a pair of legs wrapped in fishnet stockings. Naturally, the door is suddenly ajar and Carpenter steps through and is met by Domingo, sporting a cropped pinstripe suit and red lipstick.

As the camera follows Carpenter through the curious halls and slanted rooms, she’s met with a glittering cast of characters and deliciously chaotic surprises around every corner as she sings the chorus: “I get wet at the thought of you/Being a responsible guy/Treating me like you’re supposed to do/Tears run down my thighs.” There’s even a shimmying dance number with Domingo, because as the Grammy winner declares at the end of the video: “You have to give the people what they want.”

During a Spotify release party for the album, Carpenter said that her creative process behind the new album was “all about sort of embracing spontaneity, all about embracing impulses that I was having and experiences that I was having that were really urgent to write about.” She continued, “And knowing that if I didn’t make this album and have it represent the chapter of my life that it represents, that it would have never been this album. It would have turned into something else, and I think that would have done it as a service to the album.”
