Sabrina Carpenter has been teasing her fans relentlessly, as if every move she makes is a potential clue or Easter egg hinting at her upcoming project. The excitement around the pop star, who is currently in New York for her sold-out five-night run at Madison Square Garden, escalated when she stepped out for a daytime outing with friends.
Photos circulating on social media show Carpenter and her friends strolling through Prospect Park in Brooklyn on October 27. For the outing, the blonde beauty was bundled up in a long black coat paired with a black-and-white checkered scarf, with light blue denim peeking out from underneath. In several snapshots, she was seen holding a professional camera, seemingly capturing something.
Her outing set fans abuzz about what might be coming next. One fan noted that the last time paparazzi snapped Sabrina with her dog, it was right before she dropped her seventh album, Man's Best Friend. "Her camera is probably an Easter egg since her dog kinda was," they joked, referencing how paparazzi photos with her pet surfaced before the release of her seventh album.
Other fans speculated, "Deluxe maybe?" while another wrote, "I reckon it's a music video release because I doubt she'd drop a deluxe so soon after the album." Some devoted followers even brainstormed potential names for her next musical project, joking: "SC8 potential titles: Pictures, Scarf, Autumn Coat, Camera, Most Beautiful Girl in the World. Any clues I'm missing?"
The excitement over a possible eighth album is palpable. "SC8 being released next year or even this year, OMG, it'd be so exciting," wrote one fan. Another tempered the hype, cautioning, "Guys, it's not an album, relax." If it's not an album, could it be a music video or even a movie? Another fan joked, "Sabrina, please stop looking like the main character of a rom-com if you aren't actually gonna be in one next year; this is killing me."
For now, it's all just wild guesses and theories. Fans are reading into every little hint, but Sabrina hasn't confirmed anything yet. The idea of an eighth album is particularly ambitious, as she released her seventh album, Man's Best Friend, only three months ago on August 29. The 12-track album arrived just one year after her Short n’ Sweet album, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, her first chart-topping record. All tracks from Short n’ Sweet also simultaneously charted on the Billboard Hot 100.
Carpenter is currently busy delighting fans on her Short n’ Sweet tour, which is set to wrap up on November 23 after 72 shows.
