Is “Busy Woman” getting a video or is new music on the way? Fans weigh in.
Sabrina Carpenter has sent her fanbase into a frenzy after dropping a mysterious teaser video on social media, fueling speculation about what the pop star might release next.
The 26-year-old singer and actress, who has been riding high on the success of her 2024 album Short n’ Sweet, posted a short, mostly soundless video clip on Instagram and X (formerly Twitter) on June 2. In the clip, Carpenter is seen trying to hitchhike along a dusty roadside, wearing high-cut denim shorts, a cropped pink button-up, sling-back heels and her signature blonde curls. The only audio comes at the end, when Carpenter lets out a soft laugh followed by a playful, “Oh boy.”

Though the teaser lacked official details, fans quickly began sharing theories about what might be coming ranging from a new single to a potential music video or even an entirely fresh project.
A Summer Drop Incoming?
Given Carpenter’s recent success with the viral hit “Espresso,” many are hoping for another summer anthem. That track dominated charts and playlists last year, and helped establish the former Disney Channel star as a full-fledged pop force.
Now, fans believe she’s ready to repeat that success.

“SABRINA HEARD THAT WE DIDN’T HAVE A SONG OF THE SUMMER AND IS DELIVERING!!!” one user commented. Another saying ‘SONG OF THE SUMMER INCOMING.’
Others are pointing specifically to “Busy Woman,” a track from the deluxe version of Short n’ Sweet, as the likely focus of the teaser. The timing also makes sense: Carpenter is set to resume her Short n’ Sweet World Tour in July, and a new music video—or single—would be a strategic lead-in.
Fan Theories: Music Video or New Era?
Theories have quickly spread across X and TikTok, with many drawing comparisons to past visuals from Carpenter’s recent album era. The setting, outfit, and carefree tone of the clip have led some to wonder whether it signals a continuation of the Short n’ Sweet aesthetic or a pivot to something new entirely.
“SABRINA WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO TELL US” one fan demanded.
Some have noted the subtle country-meets-coquette styling as a clue. Others believe the teaser could hint at a standalone summer single, much like “Espresso,” which was not part of the original Short n’ Sweet tracklist.
Despite the mystery, the buzz is building fast, and with Carpenter’s flair for surprise drops, fans are keeping their notifications on.

Carpenter’s Busy Year
This teaser arrives on the heels of a packed few months for Carpenter. Since wrapping the European leg of her tour in April, she’s appeared alongside Quinta Brunson on Saturday Night Live, walked the Met Gala red carpet in a Louis Vuitton ensemble with a dramatic train, and sparked casting rumors for a possible role in Mamma Mia 3.
Even fellow pop star Miley Cyrus commented on Carpenter’s rapid rise, telling The New York Times, “Every time I see her I have the urge to ask her if she’s OK… I know what it feels like to fry yourself.” Cyrus, who also came up through Disney Channel, has spoken openly about the pressures of fame at a young age.
Fans React Online
Social media has been flooded with excitement, confusion, and lots of jokes since Carpenter’s teaser went live.
“Lord have mercy” one user wrote. “Mother of summer hits is back when we needed her most.”
