From Dolly to Donna: Sabrina Carpenter Expertly Mixes Eras & Aesthetics on Man's Best Friend

Explícito

On this episode of The Spin Cycle Podcast, host Kiara McKinney dives into pop’s new favorite trick: nostalgia stacking—the art of layering multiple eras at once. Her case study? Sabrina Carpenter’s seventh album, Man’s Best Friend.

Kiara unpacks how Sabrina fuses disco, country, and maximalist pop into something cohesive, explains why artists stuck in one lane (looking at you, Dua and Miley) risk getting left behind, and breaks down the album’s standout tracks with her signature wit.

Beyond the album, she sets the stage for the upcoming VMAs—sharing predictions, spotting potential chaos agents (Taylor, anyone?), and dissecting how TikTok continues to steer the culture.
