Barry Keoghan<\/a>, who appeared in her music video for \u201cPlease Please Please\u201d as a love interest. She has also been linked in the past to pop star Shawn Mendes.<\/p>\nDuring the interview, Carpenter also reflected on how fans respond to her music and to the critics.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou don\u2019t have to like what I do,\u201d she said. \u201cI think there\u2019s this weird misconception that every artist has to check every box for everyone to like everything about them.\u201d <\/p>\n
She continued, \u201cThe album is not for any pearl clutchers. No, but I, I also think that even pearl clutchers can listen to an album like that in their own solitude and find something that makes them smirk and chuckle to themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n
In her opinion, the playful or sexual lyrics are \u201cjust fun.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI think that\u2019s the thing, is sometimes people hear the lyrics that are really bold or they go, \u2018I don\u2019t want to sing this in front of other people.\u2019 It\u2019s like it\u2019s almost too it, it, it\u2019s TMI,\u201d Carpenter explained. \u201cBut I think about being at a concert with, you know, however many young women I see in the front row that are screaming at the top of their lungs with their best friends. And you can go like, \u2018Oh, we can all, like, sigh of relief like, \u2018This is just fun.\u2019 And, and that\u2019s all it has to be.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
