Parents freak out over Sabrina Carpenter's “awesome” new album “Short n' Sweet”: “Not suitable for children”

Parents freak out over Sabrina Carpenter's “awesome” new album “Short n' Sweet”: “Not suitable for children”

For parents, it seems like child's play to find a suitable tune for their children on Sabrina Carpenter's latest album.

The 12-track LP, titled “Short n' Sweet,” is packed with innuendo, swear words and sexually charged lyrics that have caused a stir among listeners online.

“Juno” – one of the album’s more popular songs – features lyrics in which Carpenter crooned and described himself as “so damn awesome.”

Parents in particular witness – or rather hear – the consequences when they let their children listen to the explicit versions of the songs.

Mother Brielle Cherie admitted that the hit song “Please Please Please” was playing on repeat and that her son had memorized a swear word at the catchiest part of the tune and yelled it on camera: “Motherf—er.”

“MOMS… be careful out there,” she captioned the TikTok clip, to which Carpenter commented that she was “so sorry” and announced that she had dropped “the clean” version.

“I'm afraid there's no turning back at this point. It's a song he won't forget lol,” Cherie added. “As long as he just sings it at home, it's all good.”

Another mother, Hannah Jones, revealed that her child also enjoyed the same song – and, reluctantly, the same swear word.

“Sabrina baby I'm so glad you came out with a clean version… but it's a day late,” Jones wrote in a TikTok video.

“The way my child screamed 'Motherf—er' for the first time while singing this song on his 6th birthday is now a core memory.”

Meanwhile, young fans of Carpenter were horrified that they had bought tickets to the pop star's tour with their parents before the album's release and then heard the sexually explicit lyrics they would inevitably sing in front of their mothers.

“Please wish me luck. I'm going on this tour with my mom, WHO WANTS TO BRING MY GRANDMOTHER IF MY SISTER CAN'T MAKE IT,” one fan freaked out.

“Good luck to the brave people going to the Short n' Sweet concert with their parents,” wrote one teenage TikToker.

“Concert tickets have to be sold AFTER the album is released. I don't know why it's the other way around,” complained one viewer.

One Carpenter fan, looking to capitalize on a potential mass sale of tickets to the sold-out tour, wrote: “Wow, this album is so unsuitable for children! (Parents, please throw away your Short n' Sweet tickets and sell them to me.)”

“Let's pray for all the moms of 9-year-olds who want to play 'Short n' Sweet' in the car right now,” another user wrote under a TikTok video captioned, “This album is so ovulation coded.”

The former Disney Channel star and her fans have dubbed the new album, released last week, an “ovulation album” – or in other words, an extremely horny album – referring to the surge in hormones that occurs during a woman's ovulation.

“Sabrina releasing a full ovulation album was the missing piece for hot girl summer,” wrote one fan while lip-syncing along to the song “Bed Chem.”

“Ovulation album of the year goes to Sabrina Carpenter,” agreed another.
