Sabrina Carpenter has taken a savage dig at her ex, Barry Keoghan, in a Valentine's Day music video for a new rendition of Please, Please, Please, featuring Dolly Parton. The original video, released last June, starred Irish actor Keoghan alongside Carpenter while they were still an item, depicting the pair getting cosy in prison. However, following their break up in December, Carpenter seems eager to rewrite history with a fresh take on Please, Please, Please, bringing in the country singer as a guest artist. Since its release on YouTube on Friday, the new version has already racked up 3.2 million views.
The video showcases Carpenter and Parton in a black-and-white, Thelma and Louise-style sequence, cruising in a pickup truck. It concludes with a shot of a man tied up and gagged in the truck's trailer, a bag over his head. Eagle-eyed fans have spotted that the man's attire bears a striking resemblance to what Keoghan wore in the original music video. And fans are lapping up the plot twist. "Barry was the only man to ever survive a Sabrina video so she had to come back and make things right," one YouTube commenter quipped.
Another chimed in: "This is so much shade to Barry and I couldn't love it any more." Meanwhile someone else quipped: "You don't mess with our Sabrina. She was always way too good for him anyway.". Please, Please, Please was the second single from Carpenter's sixth album Short n' Sweet. She has since dropped a deluxe edition with five additional tracks, including the new version of the song which features Parton.
Keoghan hit back at the online backlash over the relationship break-up, saying he received messages filled with lies, hate, and disgusting comments. He wrote: "The messages I have received - no person should ever have to read them. "Absolute lies, hatred, disgusting commentary about my appearance, character, how I am as a parent and every other inhumane thing you can imagine. "Dragging my character and everything I worked extremely hard for and stand for. Talking about how I was a heroine baby and how I grew up and dragging my dear mother into it also.
