She&#8217;s welcomed in by Domingo as he portrays a Dr. Frank-N-Furter-esque character.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Then, as she makes her way through the house, she is taunted by this new version&#8217;s take on the movie&#8217;s characers: Columbia, Magenta, and the Transylvanians. 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 class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">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 class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">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<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">This article originally appeared on Out: <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.out.com\/gay-music\/colman-domingo-in-drag-sabrina-carpenter-tears-music-video-youtube-watch\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Colman Domingo is feeling the fantasy in Sabrina Carpenter's new video;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Colman Domingo is feeling the fantasy in Sabrina Carpenter&#8217;s new video<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\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.yahoo.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.
