Sabrina Carpenter’s music video has sparked a holy storm! Last month, the 24-year-old songstress unleashed the spooky spectacle of her song “Feather” on Halloween, and it’s got more drama than a soap opera in a haunted house.
In this horror-filled extravaganza, Sabrina takes matters into her own hands, giving the boot to guys who’ve been treating her like yesterday’s leftovers—catcallers, skirt-snappers, and the whole shebang. But the real showstopper? She turns a church into her own dance floor for the dearly departed, strutting her stuff like it’s Judgment Day’s runway.
Well, cue the confetti and Catholic controversy! A bishop, possibly with a fainting couch nearby, slammed the video for daring to film within and around a church in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Holy feathers, Batman! A priest even got a backstage pass to unemployment because of this epic music video extravaganza, according to The New York Times. Divine intervention or just bad career choices? You decide.
Two days after the video dropped like a beat from heaven, the Diocese of Brooklyn went full-on soap opera mode, issuing a statement to the Catholic News Agency. Bishop Robert Brennan was apparently “appalled” at what went down at the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary Church in Brooklyn. Someone fetch the smelling salts, please.
According to the Diocese, the church forgot to consult the heavenly rulebook on what can and cannot be filmed on its divine grounds. The blame game ensued, and Monsignor Jamie J. Gigantiello was tagged as the permission granter. The church insisted they didn’t follow the script, literally, claiming they didn’t review scenes as per diocesan policy. Oopsie daisy!
But fear not, for the pastor took to the virtual pulpit to issue an apology, claiming his online investigation into Sabrina Carpenter didn’t reveal any red flags. He greenlit the video in a bid to strengthen the bonds with the vibrant creative community. Surprise, surprise—the final cut was like a remix nobody saw coming.
Hold onto your rosaries, because the church in Brooklyn promises a deep dive into their approval process. A more thorough investigation? Is it just me, or does this sound like the plot of a divine detective comedy? Stay tuned for the next episode of “Holy Investigations: Undercover in the Church.”
