Fans have found a huge clue in Sabrina Carpenter’s videos for 'Espresso' and 'Please Please Please' which may have teased a third single for her album Short n’ Sweet.
Sabrina Carpenter’s music video for her single ‘Please Please Please’ has taken the world by storm, not only because the song is a banger, but it also features her Hollywood sweetheart actor Barry Keoghan as her love interest.
Whilst the Saltburn star and 'Espresso' singer are rumoured to have been together since the end of 2023, this has truly gotten the world talking!
But it seems like Sabrina’s been taking notes whilst touring on the Eras Tour with the easter egg queen herself, Taylor Swift because she’s left some clues in her two music videos that hint at the release of a third single and fans have begun piecing the puzzle together.
TikTok star @nicky.reardon posted a video on the platform explaining his theory and as far as we’re concerned, it adds up.
Nicky explained in his video that if you rewatch the video clip for ‘Espresso’, the music video ends with not only Sabrina getting arrested by the police, but a small clip of music playing over the police van's speakers.
The TikToker then revealed that it's music from the song ‘Please Please Please’ whose own music video begins with Sabrina getting released from jail.
It’s Nicky’s theory that the two music videos sandwich together to create one cohesive storyline and that Sabrina used ‘Espresso’ to tease her next single and the TikToker thinks she’s done it again.
At the end of the music video for ‘Please Please Please’ a different tune is heard as the camera zooms out from Barry tied up to a chair.
If the pattern continues then, that bar of music could be a sample from a third single Sabrina’s preparing to drop from her upcoming album ‘Short n’ Sweet’ which lands on the 23rd of August, 2024.
Not only that, but the third rumoured single could either follow the story of Barry’s criminal character, or that of Sabrina’s after she’s perhaps broken up with a man who's no good for her.
Fans in the comment section of TikTok were quick to also reveal that at the beginning of ‘Please Please Please’, you can hear a sample of ‘Espresso’, confirming the theory that the storyline is a continuation of one another.
This isn’t the first time Sabrina’s placed tiny easter eggs in her work. During her amazing set at Coachella 2024, Sabrina takes the time to read out a sign supposedly being held up by a ‘fan’.
The sign says ‘Please Please Please play Espresso,’ obviously hinting at her upcoming single prior to its release.
After footage of the event circulated the internet, eagle-eyed fans noticed that the ‘fan’ holding up the sign was not only in front of the barricade, separated from the general public, but was looked suspiciously like celebrity influencer Emma Chamberlain.
The whole stunt must have been planned as an easter egg for ‘Please Please Please’ and fingers crossed Sabrina will do it again because as far as her fans are concerned, she’s single-handedly saving pop music in 2024.
