Throughout the video, there are moments where Carpenter does her best Janet impression and the character in this video mirrors the cult-classic&#8217;s character. There is also a synchronized dance break towards the end, which also happens in <em>Rocky Horror<\/em> when the cast does the &#8220;Time Warp.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The video then ends with her waking up outside and the boyfriend she left starts walking towards the house, dressed in an Eddie-inspired outfit, but instead of a saxophone, he has a guitar. Carpenter seems annoyed that the boyfriend is still alive and says, &#8220;No, it&#8217;s a thing, someone has to die in every music video,&#8221; right as she throws her stiletto heel that pierces the man&#8217;s heart, and adds, &#8220;He was a nice one too but you have to give the people what they want.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The music video was directed by Bardia Zeinali, who also worked with the burgeoning pop princess on the music video for &#8220;Please Please Please,&#8221; featuring her seemingly ex-boyfriend Barry Keoghan.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.out.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sabrina Carpenter is no stranger to pop cultural references in her music videos, and the latest one for her new single, &#8220;Tears,&#8221; is no different.
