Please, please, please – tell us that Sabrina Carpenter just shaded Mariah Carey?!
Because that is visible to us!
Now, just because Sabrina Carpenter’s music is among some of the hottest songs this summer, doesn’t mean she’s going to hibernate as the seasons change.
This winter, he will host a variety of music specials on Netflix. Holiday specials, no less.
But in promotion Christmas Nonsense With Sabrina Carpenterhe has apparently thrown a little shade on one of the biggest stars of all time. You may know her best as the Queen of Christmas…
Netflix has chosen Sabrina Carpenter as its holiday headliner
On December 6, Netflix will air a variety of holiday music specials, Christmas Nonsense With Sabrina Carpenter.
We know the special will feature “unexpected duets and comedic guests.”
In addition to unknown guests, Sabrina will perform some of her own music.
Sabrina Carpenter has a holiday EP, Fruits. Although not as long as one of the full-length albums, this collection of music is definitely more exciting than the EP’s name suggests.
They will also perform classics of the Christmas season. Netflix may be billing this as a variety of “holiday” specials, but despite the many holidays over the next few months, the title is exactly that. one in particular.
“It’s always special to me,” Sabrina Carpenter said in a statement. “I’m excited to bring myself to a classic holiday variety show – infusing my love of music and comedy to create something unique to me.”
So where is the shade to Mariah Carey?
As you can see in the Netflix teaser for Sabrina Carpenter’s special, the video clearly imagines Mariah Carey — or, at least, shows her.
The image recreates Mariah Carey’s classic “All I Want For Christmas Is You” outfit. It’s essentially a fakeout, surprising people with Sabrina Carpenter.
This could explode at Sabrina Carpenter (but not fair) or at Netflix itself. But most people wouldn’t take offense to the homage.
For years, Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas I You” has been a harbinger of the entire holiday season. And that means the holiday season – no matter what holiday you might be celebrating between Halloween and New Year’s, Mariah Carey’s music will be playing.
Mariah did something almost unthinkable: she brought a holiday classic into modern times. Many Christmas carols are so old that they have horror values ​​or cultural references that need to be explained. “All I Want For Christmas Is You” came out in 1994.
Obviously, another music star has come out with a fun Christmas song. But even me private like Lady Gaga’s “Christmas Tree” and Guther & The Sunshine Girls’ “Christmas Song,” we can all agree that Mariah’s bop is on another level.
Did Netflix miss the mark?
Anytime someone is seen throwing shade at Mariah Carey, whether it’s Sabrina Carpenter or anyone else, it risks blowing up in her face. Mariah has had real scandals and sometimes lacks judgment, but many people love and adore her. (Also, sometimes his judgments are not bad)
We don’t think that Netflix or Sabrina Carpenter means that Mariah Carey is disrespectful. If anything, this is a nod to Mariah effectively owning a few months out of the year.
We hope that Mariah likes flattery. And also the royal check when his song spread around the globe in a few months.
