Sabrina Carpenter fell onto a cactus and injured herself while shooting the music video for Manchild.
The visual is nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Music Video at next year’s ceremony, and considering everything she endured on set, including thirty seven outfit changes, taking home the trophy would feel especially rewarding.
During her appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers, she told the host, “I fell on a cactus.
“It is so easy to laugh when someone gets hurt. And I did. But then I started crying.”
She added, “There was a medic. I just for the rest of the day was picking stuff out of…”
Sabrina reflected on the experience by saying, “I will be honest, that shoot was incredibly ambitious. We filmed thirty seven outfits. That was probably the biggest shoot I have ever done. I am so grateful that I was able to make a production that felt like my dream come to life. But it definitely came with a lot of pain to reach the final result.”
Reacting to the response the video received, she said, “I really like that because I think I make pop music and sometimes people do not expect to see those kinds of visuals with a song like that. So it means a lot to me. I am very happy that everyone has enjoyed the video.”
The twenty six year old pop artist has three additional chances to win a Grammy for Manchild, which appears on her album Man’s Best Friend. The track is also nominated for Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Pop Solo Performance.
Sabrina surprised fans with the cover art for Man’s Best Friend, which shows her on all fours in front of a man who is pulling her hair.
After releasing Manchild, Sabrina thanked “men for testing me.”
She wrote on Instagram, “I wrote manchild on a random Tuesday with amy and jack not too long after finishing short n’ sweet and it ended up being the best random Tuesday of my life.
“Not only was it so fun to write, but this song became something I can look back on that will soundtrack the mental montage of the very confusing and fun young adult years of life.
“It sounds like the song version of a loving eye roll and it feels like a never ending summer road trip.
“That is why I wanted to give it to you now, so you can stick your head out the car window and scream it all summer long.”
