Pop singer Sabrina Carpenter has stunned the internet after posting photos of herself in lingerie.

Carpenter, 24, who got her start on Disney’s Girl Meets World has officially entered her mainstream era.

She just wrapped up being the opening act for Taylor Swift on her already iconic Eras Tour, and now she’s the star of Kim Kardashian’s latest lingerie campaign for her brand Skims.

The former child star posted a series of photos of her posing in lacy lingerie in a bedroom and declared she was a “spring Skims girl”.

The lingerie photos were immediately controversial because fans were surprised she would pose for Kardashian’s underwear brand given her friendship with Swift.

“Why Skims? I thought you and Tay were friends,” one wrote.

“Oh honey, you’re gorgeous but not this brand …” another said.

“Imagine giving someone the opportunity of their lifetime and bringing them with you on the biggest tour in the world, and a few weeks later, they collaborate with someone who tried to ruin your life…,” one said.

Someone else claimed the move made them “question your friendship with Taylor”.

Famously, Kardashian and Swift had a beef in 2016, thanks to Kardashian’s husband at the time, Kanye West.

In 2009, West famously interrupted Swift’s speech after she won Best Female Music Video at the MTV Awards to declare that Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time.

Fast-forward to 2016, the pair had mostly buried the hatchet, but West released his song Famous, which included the lyrics, “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex. Why? I made that bitch famous.”

In response, Swift’s representative at the time released a statement and said the song had a “strong misogynistic message”.

Kardashian and West maintained that Swift had approved the lyrics before they went out. Eventually, Kardashian released a snippet of Swift’s phone conversation with West, and online, Swift was “cancelled” over the saga.

Swift disappeared from public life for over a year and then remerged with her hit record Reputation in 2017,

Swift has gone from career strength to career strength ever since … but hasn’t forgotten what happened.

In 2023, Swift reflected on that period in her life to the Times and said, “You have a fully manufactured frame job, in an illegally recorded phone call, which Kim Kardashian edited and then put out to say to everyone that I was a liar.”

The pop singer hasn’t replied to any comments from angry Swift fans, and the lingerie photos also made waves for an entirely different reason.

Carpenter’s rumoured boyfriend, Saltburn star Barry Keoghan, also commented on the image.

“Barbie Emoji,” he wrote, and the Golden Globe nominee added a fire emoji and a crying red face emoji.

Keoghan wasn’t the only one struggling for words because fans were stunned by the photos.

“I am dead,” one wrote.

“This is everything,” another declared.

“Um, miss, what are you doing to me? Serious question,” someone joked.
