Is Sabrina Carpenter Bisexual? Everything Fans Want to Know Explained
The primary spark behind recent orientation rumors remains the visual execution of "Taste," directed by Dave Meyers. The video plays on classic horror tropes, casting Carpenter and Ortega as vengeful romantic rivals fighting to the death over an unfaithful man. When Carpenter falls from a second-story window onto a white picket fence, Ortega performs mouth-to-mouth resuscitation that quickly morphs into an exaggerated, theatrical kiss before the violence resumes.
Online discourse often conflates visual satire with personal revelation. During the promotional rollout for the video, Carpenter made it clear that the dynamic was built around mutual admiration and absurd dark comedy. She explained that she wanted an actress who could match the deadpan absurdity of the storyline, reaching out to Ortega directly. Their on-screen chemistry drew inspiration from Robert Zemeckis's 1992 satire Death Becomes Her, starring Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn, where female rivalry turns physical, grotesque, and unintentionally intimate. While queer pop culture platforms celebrated the visual as an instant camp classic, neither performer framed the project as a statement on their real-world sexual orientation.
