LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: In the ever-evolving saga of Sabrina Carpenter's music career, the spotlight recently turned to the humorous aftermath of her controversial music video for 'Feather' shot in a Brooklyn Catholic church.
Responding to the church's claim of needing to re-bless the premises after the blood-soaked video release, Carpenter stated, "We got approval in advance, and Jesus was a Carpenter," in a cheeky response, referencing her own surname in conjunction with a well-known Christian belief about Jesus' profession.
