Sabrina Carpenter celebrated her latest creative rebirth with a special party at a very special place.**

The "Manchild" singer explained why she chose the Hollywood Forever Cemetery — the final resting place of stars like Judy Garland, Chris Cornell, and Cecil B. DeMille — as the spot to commemorate her new album,* Man's Best Friend, *and "Tears" video at the event on Thursday night.**

"I can't believe I'm here right now," Carpenter said in videos shared on social media. "This is one of my favorite places to come to."

When the evening's emcee pressed her about her passion for the cemetery, she replied, "Yes, I come here alone a lot at night."

Carpenter then clarified that there's a very normal reason why she haunts the cemetery in her spare time. "They show movies here," she said. "I used to come here and watch movies, and so I thought this would be a really special place to bring everybody."**

The haunt also fits perfectly with a recurring theme in her music videos. "And since I'm always killing men..." she teased. "It's like a funeral, and it's also like a new birth of a new album."**

That motif shows up again in the ghoulish visuals for Carpenter's new disco-infused single, "Tears." In the clip, the pop star can be seen recovering from a car accident that has killed her boyfriend from her "Manchild" music video released earlier this summer.

She stumbles from the wreckage to a nearby home only to be greeted by Oscar nominee Colman Domingo, who, dressed in drag, invites her in for a sultry makeover and dance break with his fellow queens before booting her back out of the house onto the porch. It's then that she notices her boyfriend has actually managed to survive the accident — but not on her watch.**

"Wait, no, you died earlier I thought," Carpenter tells him. When the man expresses confusion, she replies, "No, it's a thing. Someone has to die in every video. I'm sorry! We'll always remember you though!"**

She then throws her stiletto straight into his chest, killing him instantly. "

"He was a nice one too," she laments before picking herself back up and announcing, "You have to give the people what they want!"

Carpenter's other music videos have seen her kill men with a tie in an elevator ("Feather"), drive their cars off cliffs ("Manchild"), and trick Jenna Ortega into chainsawing their cheating boyfriend in half ("Taste"). It's also still unclear if her real-life ex Barry Keoghan ever made it out of the back of the truck in her "Please Please Please" video alive.

At the event, Carpenter explained that she began writing *Man's Best Friend* shortly after the release of her 2024 album, *Short 'n' Sweet*. **

"I was like, 'It would be really bad if I just stopped writing,'" she said in a clip. "I think of writing as like a muscle, and it's sort of like working it out and using it every day, and so for me it was kind of important to do that through all the highs and lows that I was experiencing."**

*Man's Best Friend *is available now. Watch Carpenter's new music video for "Tears" above.
