Sabrina Carpenter Reveals Painful Cactus Fall While Filming 'Manchild' Music Video

Sabrina Carpenter opened up candidly about the unexpectedly popular moment that inspired her daring and dramatic 'Manchild' music video. During her latest appearance on the 'Late Night with Seth Meyers' show, the pop sensation disclosed that she had unintentionally fallen onto a cactus during filming. The incident left her crying, covered in spines, and dependent on a medic for the remainder of the day.

Despite the mishap, Carpenter pushed through the three-day shoot, which included 37 costume changes and high-energy stunts, all while celebrating the massive success of her 'Manchild' single and her thriving 'Sweet n' Sour Tour.' 

'Manchild'—The Hit Making Headlines

'Manchild,' one of Sabrina Carpenter's greatest singles to date, has struck a chord with listeners due to its lighthearted criticism of immature lovers and carefree attitude. Carpenter co-wrote the track with collaborators Jack Antonoff and Amy Allen, after wrapping up her previous project. In an Instagram post around the release, she described writing the song as "the best random Tuesday of my life," adding that the track captures the confusing yet fun energy of young adulthood—like "a never-ending summer road trip."

Behind The Scenes: The Cactus Mishap and A Gruelling Shoot

Sabrina talked about a traumatic and unanticipated on-set mishap during a recent appearance on 'Late Night with Seth Meyers': she landed on a cactus while filming the 'Manchild' video. She acknowledged that the fall caused her a great deal of agony; what had initially been a shock developed into pain, and she ended up crying. Soon after that, a medic was called in, and for the rest of the day, she spent time removing cactus spines from her skin. But the cactus fall wasn't the only challenge.

The shoot involved 37 different outfit changes over three intense days—the biggest video shoot she's done so far. Carpenter admitted that she's proud with the finished product and thinks all the suffering was worthwhile for such a creative concept, despite the physical anguish and the outrageous stunts shown in the video.

The 'Manchild' video features a range of dramatic scenes, such as traveling over barren landscapes, plunging into a shark-infested pool, rollerblading behind a vehicle, and more. Despite the dangers, Carpenter seemed to think the final video fulfilled her artistic goals, and she urged viewers to watch and enjoy the final product.

From Tour Stumbles to Directing Her Own Creative Chaos

Sabrina has already discussed openly the physical toll that her art entails. She recently concluded her 72-show 'Short n' Sweet Tour,' which involved some challenging choreography and stage accidents. She once made fun of a stage stairway that "humbled my ass one too many times" and kept tripping her up when she was performing. The contrast between past tour-related slips and the cactus accident during a video shoot shows how much she's willing to endure for her art.

Her devotion to developing as an artist and pushing boundaries in visuals, music, and storytelling is demonstrated by her bravery, whether it is dancing on stage in heels or enduring a cactus encounter for a few frames. 'Manchild' now stands as a testament to that commitment: a song with cheeky lyrics, a daring video, and a pop-star unafraid to put herself through real pain for real art.
