Sabrina Carpenter Is Not A Virgin
Added 2025-07-07 14:24:41 +0000 UTCWe are back with a topical Kiki Lounge. In today's episode: our differing takes on the latest from Lorde, a reassesment of our positions on Sabrina Carpenter's album cover, Olivia Rodrigo's Glastonbury coup, and the continual floppage of Lana Can't Perform In A Stadium Del Rey. Enjoy!

Madeline’s point about how Sabrina has never been overly political before is my main problem with the people who are defending Sab. Personally, without context I don’t love the cover, but I have no problem with a piece of art purposely being provocative. However I have a problem with Sabrina’s fans immediately coming to her defense and calling it satire and feminist when they have no background information that supports that.
