Sabrina Carpenter is one of those standout names in the music scene whose climb has got everyone talking—like the cherry on top of a delicious cake. Even industry legends like Dionne Warwick cannot help but admire the star power and craftsmanship she has built at a mere 25. But fame is never really a smooth sail and, more importantly, it is that double-edged sword with no mercy. In the realm of stardom, comments can spark inspiration or get twisted into clickbait drama. Recently, one of Warwick's remarks about Carpenter’s lyrics went viral, but not quite in the way she intended.

So, taking the reins of the conversation, Warwick stepped in to clarify her words and set the record straight for whoever misinterpreted her.

Dionne Warwick recently gave her take on popular songs during an NPR segment called Nobody Asked for This (But I’m Gonna Tell You Anyhow), which she shared on X last Friday. Despite giving ‘Please, Please, Please’ a 4.5/5, she denied it when asked if the lyric, “I’m working late ‘cause I’m a singer” from ‘Espresso’ resonated with her. However, the uninvited controversy prompted Warwick to hop back on X and clarify that her remarks were merely a “joke.”

Warwick also questioned why that lyric should resonate with her, pointing out that she does not work late and prefers to hit the hay. However, she took the chance to give Carpenter a shout-out, calling her a “wonderful young vocalist doing her thing.” She wished Carpenter continued success and longevity in the industry while raising eyebrows at the publication for highlighting her comments without any context.

Carpenter was not the only young artist Warwick rated for the segment, as there were others in the catalog, and she also left a message in the thread for them.

Dionne Warwick’s NPR segment was not just about Sabrina Carpenter. She also gave a solid 4.5 out of 5 to Chappell Roan’s ‘Good Luck, Babe!’ and rated Charli XCX’s ‘Guess’ a 4/5, showing she is all about supporting these young talents, despite what the chatter might suggest. However, she did refrain from commenting on Kendrick Lamar’s record-breaking diss track, ‘Not Like Us’, aimed at Drake. 

Later Warwick emphasized in her X thread that she only has love and admiration for these emerging artists while cautioning publications against using her name for "clickbait," urging them to find safer topics to avoid unnecessary conflicts. So, despite any assumptions about her views on Carpenter, her clarifications help clear the air amidst those sensational headlines.
