Podcaster Candace Owens alludes to "soft p*rn" while discussing Man's Best Friend album cover
Candace Owens discussed the alleged controversy surrounding the album cover of Sabrina Carpenter's upcoming album in a YouTube livestream on June 19, 2025. The online commentator began the discussion by claiming that Carpenter's music is "sexually explicit" and compared her to Miley Cyrus and Christina Aguilera.
Owens also opined that she didn't find anything controversial about the album cover.
"First and foremost, people going 'Oh my gosh, this is so controversial.' Couple of things that I want to say right off the bat, this is not controversial, this is not even remotely controversial," she added.
According to Owens, she would be more surprised if Carpenter took the alleged opposite approach.
"If she wanted to be controversial, she'd have kept her clothes on, gotten married, and have some kids on the cover of her album, like if she just had a nice family shot, then people would go 'Oh my gosh, what is she doing?'" she continued.
She added:
"I am factually so desensitized to p*rn*graphy or soft p*rn on the internet that if Sabrina Carpenter crawled into this room right now on all fours, half naked, I don't even think I would gasp, I would probably ask her how she got into the house and ask if one of the kids left the door unlocked, but I wouldn't be shocked."
Sabrina Carpenter's Short n' Sweet tour will resume for the second North American leg on October 23. Starting from Pittsburgh, the tour will feature shows in cities like New York, Toronto, Nashville, and Los Angeles before coming to an end on November 23.
