The relationship between Sabrina Carpenter and Barry Keoghan is over, and now we’re left wondering if they ended things on friendly terms. There’s a chance things aren’t super amicable between Barry and Sabrina, based on the latest music video she just dropped.
Sabrina linked up with the legendary Dolly Parton for the deluxe re-recording of “Please Please Please.” In the music video, she included a Barry look-alike who meets an unfortunate fate in the final scene! Was this her way of shading Barry? We think so!
Sabrina Killed Off a Barry Look-Alike in Her Music Video
The deluxe version of “Please Please Please” by Sabrina and Dolly only dropped on V-Day and has already reached over 7 million viewers on YouTube. Pop music lovers are tuning in for a multitude of reasons. First of all, the song is a bop. It’s undeniably catchy!
Secondly, to anyone who’s begged their partner to treat them well without embarrassing them in public, the song is relatable AF. But the biggest draw for this music video is the ending – Sabrina and Dolly are cheerfully driving a getaway car with a Barry look-alike tied up in the trunk.
In the OG music video for “Please Please Please,” Barry played a character – complete with a wife-beater and dark jeans – wreaking havoc in Sabrina’s life. In the new music video, the hostage in the back of Sabrina’s car has Barry’s exact body type – and he’s wearing the same costume!
The hostage’s face is covered with a potato sack, but it’s safe to say we know who she’s alluding to. If you think this is all a coincidence, you’re outta your gourd.
Sabrina and Barry announced their breakup just before Christmas 2024. Is there bad blood between them? Based on what she’s hinting at in this new music video, it’s understandable why fans would assume so.
Why Did Sabrina and Barry Call it Quits Anyway?
According to People, Sabrina and Barry parted ways after about a year of dating – for an extremely boring reason. A source said, “They are both young and career-focused, so they’ve decided to take a break.”
Some fans think the announcement was cooked up solely for PR purposes to avoid getting into the nitty-gritty of their actual issues.Come onnn – Sabrina and Barry certainly faced their fair share of drama while dating.
Barry was accused of being a deadbeat dad while he was with Sabrina, and there was a nasty rumor about a cheating scandal between him and Breckie Hill. Plus, Sabrina was also snared in a messy 2024 love triangle scandal… We’re talking about a little entanglement with Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello.
Let’s start with the deadbeat dad accusations. Fans claimed Barry wasn’t showing up enough for the son he shares with his ex-girlfriend, Alyson Kierans. That’s cause he was constantly jet-setting with Sabrina. Plus, he was photographed out and about on date nights without his son in tow. He clapped back at all the hatred saying, “I’m not an absent father. People love to use my son as ammunition…”
When TikTokers assumed that Barry was having an affair with Breckie behind Sabrina’s back, they went into overdrive. Breckie leaned into the rumors by reposting videos that confirmed she was his mistress. Even though Barry never actually cheated on Sabrina with Breckie, tons of people believe that he did.
The rumor continued to spread like wildfire until Breckie finally shut it down by revealing she’d never met Barry face-to-face before.
Lastly, Sabrina might’ve been dating Barry in 2024, but headlines about her 2023 love triangle drama with Shawn and Camila kept popping up. Shawn and Camila had an on-off relationship from 2019 to 2023, with Sabrina briefly dating Shawn during one of their breaks.
The hookup sparked a diss track battle – Camila dropped “June Gloom”, and Sabrina fired back with “Taste”.
Did any of these factors strain Sabrina and Barry’s relationship? The final scene in the Please Please Please video leaves fans wondering. After all, Heartbreak is one thing, my ego’s another….
