S**ualizes herself for the men\u2026 Is she afraid that her music won\u2019t do well without showing her body<\/strong>?\u201d one critic questioned.<\/p>\n Image credits: Sabrina Carpenter<\/a><\/p>\n The two-time Grammy winner marked her music video directorial debut with the House Tour<\/em> video, which she co-directed alongside actress Margaret Qualley.<\/p>\n According to reports, the visuals serve as a glamorous, campy homage to Sofia Coppola\u2019s 2013 film The Bling Ring<\/em>.<\/p>\n The track appears on her album Man\u2019s Best Friend<\/em> and was co-written and produced by Qualley\u2019s husband, Jack Antonoff.<\/p>\n Image credits: isimostar<\/a><\/p>\n The music video stars Sabrina Carpenter and Qualley, along with Madelyn Cline, as a group of burglars who break into a luxurious Los Angeles mansion.<\/p>\n The trio carries out a heist, arriving in a hot pink van labeled \u201cPretty Girl Clean-Up Crew\u201d and proceeding to clean out the house rather than clean it.<\/p>\n Image credits: Sabrina Carpenter<\/a><\/p>\n Throughout the video, they are seen drinking wine, trying on designer clothes, taking baths, and stealing jewelry and cash.<\/p>\n The video continues Carpenter\u2019s signature aesthetic<\/a> of glamorous crime and dark humor, as the trio is seen running over a man taking a stroll in the final scene, echoing the edgy tone of her previous videos like Feather <\/em>and Taste<\/em>.<\/p>\n Image credits: isimostar<\/a><\/p>\n Image credits: nonnssoo<\/a><\/p>\n The visuals were widely labeled \u201craunchy\u201d and \u201cdistasteful,\u201d largely due to their suggestive themes, including scenes of the three women dancing in lingerie<\/a> and, in one particularly eyebrow-raising moment, removing their underwear.<\/p>\n Reacting to the visuals, one person harshly wrote, \u201cWhat do you expect? Her real content is body showing, not the music. Music is like something to play in the background.\u201d<\/p>\n Image credits: Sabrina Carpenter<\/a><\/p>\n Image credits: impopcrave<\/a><\/p>\n Another netizen commented, \u201cAs a woman, I don\u2019t understand why they constantly portray themselves as s**ual objects.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cShe really just uses these videos to get her hot friends together and terrorize some random guy\u2026\u201d joked a third user.<\/p>\n Image credits: Sabrina Carpenter<\/a><\/p>\n Image credits: CoffeeandIrony<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cGreat! More objectification of the female body<\/a>,\u201d one person remarked, while others added, \u201cThey\u2019re trying so hard to push her as the hottest s*x symbol\u2026she just doesn\u2019t do it like Sweeney.\u201d<\/p>\n Another comment read, \u201cNot sure if she\u2019s selling music or an Onl**ans\u2026 Whys her music video always like this.\u201d<\/p>\n Image credits: Sabrina Carpenter<\/a><\/p>\n Image credits: kweenbimbowoof<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cTemu Sydney Sweeney,\u201d quipped one netizen, while another wrote, \u201cShe\u2019s the Sydney sweeney of music industry.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cNever seen such a mid clapped woman in Hollywood. Failed industry plant<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n The Espresso<\/em> singer also shared multiple Instagram posts and behind-the-scenes images on her official account to promote the new music video.<\/p>\n Image credits: Dr. Squatch<\/a><\/p>\n Image credits: YouWontLikeThi5<\/a><\/p>\n One post, shared shortly after the video launched, featured a snippet with the caption, \u201cStarring the prettiest cleanup crew in the world, my sweet [Margaret] and my angel @madelyncline.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cDirected by margaret & me!
