AceShowbiz - On August 23, Sabrina Carpenter released her sixth studio album, "Short n' Sweet," alongside a chilling visual for the title track "Taste." The music video, directed by Dave Meyers, stars Carpenter and rising actress Jenna Ortega ("Wednesday") in a violent and darkly comedic duel.

In the video, inspired by "Death Becomes Her," Ortega plays Carpenter's ex-boyfriend's new love interest. Carpenter attempts to murder Ortega multiple times, including with a knife and a chainsaw, but to no avail. Ortega retaliates with a shotgun, a voodoo doll, and impalement on a fence.

Throughout the video, Carpenter and Ortega sport outfits and hairstyles reminiscent of Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn's characters in "Death Becomes Her." The video also includes references to "Psycho," with a chilling shower scene, and to "Kill Bill," with Ortega's nurse costume.

The gruesome yet campy violence is balanced by moments of unexpected friendship. At the end of the video, Carpenter and Ortega attend the funeral of their shared love interest, and they leave giggling while holding smoothies.

Carpenter previously released a music video for "Please Please Please," featuring her boyfriend Barry Keoghan, which referenced "Bonnie and Clyde." Her "Espresso" video featured another inmate played by Keoghan.

Carpenter's "Short n' Sweet" album showcases a more subdued sound compared to "Espresso," but the "Taste" music video adds a thrilling and visually stunning element to the era.
