@@joshuamarshall1718 No, this video is sponsored by Bellesa, a company that produces sex toys. Kayla Says promotes a vibrator within the video. The sponsored segments appeared at 0:00-0:05 and 2:07-3:31. However, it is possible that if you use the SponsorBlock extension, the segments may have been automatically skipped for you, or you simply did not watch the video.

@@joshuamarshall1718 I swear I replied, but I guess my reply was deleted. No, it is not a targeted ad. Kayla opens the video by saying who she was sponsored by, and there is a sponsorship segment starting two minutes and seven seconds in, and ending at three minutes and twenty-nine seconds. It is possible you use a popular extension to skip sponsorship segments (e.g. Sp0ns0rBl0ck), and thus didn't notice she was sponsored.

[@al.s.3277]

@@kelseyshrubsole-n4pWait but, if that’s what the PHOTOGRAPHER went for. Why is she the one to blame? Sabrina doesn’t make her own visuals, she’s not the photographer. What if she didn’t even think of that being linked to Lolita? Go for the photographer if they were trying to recreate a disgusting moment from that movie.

[@rica3947]

@@al.s.3277 Sabrina definitely has a hand in her visuals, and I think we can give her intellect enough credit to understand the Lolita reference. Whether or not these visuals were appropriate or not is a discussion worth having, instead of just shutting down the conversation by saying "oh but she didn't know". I like Sabrina and her music but that doesn't mean I can't critique certain aspects of her creative output or the way she presents herself, which includes photoshoots. Also, Lolita is primarily a book, with multiple movie adaptions, not "that movie".

[@roxassora2706]

​@@rica3947Yeah. But not everyone has read lolita. It is tough to say in my opinion.

[@lolajean1223]

​@@al.s.3277 Lolita was very obviously the creative concept for the shoot, which her and/or her team would have to be aware of when working with a magazine. Also Sabrina's aesthetic and persona has a lot of ties to pinterest's version of "coquette," which sometimes romanticises Lolita and innocence. I mean her dancing in the church for the feathers music video is too specific of a concept and closely aligned with this aesthetic and community for it to not be a coincidence. Plus her Skims photoshoot was giving barely legal.

Really thought we were about to have this giant conversation (That we desperately need to have) about parents making their children someone else's problem, but apparently, we just bought tickets to the Stanwars Circus's seasonal special "Fighting about nothing in particular" Running for what feels like the millionth consecutive year now and it's just- I should and do expect this behavior from them but they find newer and better ways to disappoint. From Teenyboppers to Stans, the more things change, the more they stay the same-the flavor just gets stronger with each passing year.

This is such an interesting topic to me tho. Similar thing happened to Olivia Rodrigo. It always annoys me when parents want social media or music industry to be censored for their kids. Just regulate what your kid watches instead of blaming others 😭

[@Kermitt_thee_frog23]

Honestly the Keemstar & stans possibly being behind this makes so much sense bc of the timing.

Mom here who loves badly singing to Sabrina Carpenter in the car! In answer to your question, I’ve got no idea where the others are, I assume most of us are just trying to survive the day.

Anyone who’s busy raging on the internet or in interviews about purity nonsense is not nearly as invested in their kids as they claim; usually, they’ve got nannies who are investing that time, instead.

It’s also quite funny considering Taylor herself has been attacked by people using very similar rhetoric. “Why is she not wearing any clothes?” in reference to the bodysuits for the Lover and Midnights sets…and now there’s a part of the Tortured Poets set where she’s in lingerie. There was also a moment where people thought Taylor was demonic for doing “witchcraft” during her performance of “Willow” during the Evermore set.

I’m so glad you did the research and have shown us how manufactured this controversy is! We’re currently in an era on the Internet where people are rage baiting and engagement farming by trying to bring others DOWN. It’s actually gotten to a point where I am not enjoying going on social as much because it feels like almost everything is about taking someone else down and is negative, and it just leaves a person feeling like EVERYTHING is negative. It not only leaves a feeling of depression but one of the not being safe no matter what you do. It feels like a collective Big Brother is watching and critiquing to control everyone. Dystopian. It essentially doesn’t feel safe to do anything in this world without someone coming around and trying to use you for engagement by trying to take you down. It’s sad. Thank you for speaking truth to this BS. Pulling the curtain back and showing us that it’s actually either BS guys who are coming after a woman for their own benefit by trying to rage bait, or its other artist stands trying to take down the new threat. It’s really great to have investigative journalism like this to show people what’s really happening behind the scenes by connecting the dots! Bravo! ❤️❤️❤️ We really need to start collectively teaching media literacy to everyone. Please continue making videos like this where you teach media literacy by teaching people how to consider the source, and look up who is saying what, and what their ulterior motive is - especially when there’s a conflict of interest, or they’re just trying to make money in a dirty way by trying to take someone down for their own personal gain. ❤️❤️❤️

Some people like to pretend that there are controversies (that don't exist in reality) so they have an excuse to feel self-righteous about things they enjoy or feel.

[@justthecoolestdudeyo9446]

I feel like it's related to the tendency to engage pop culture as very Thing Good or Thing Bad. If there's any discourse on any one thing or person in the zeitgeist, it completely overwhelms any discussion of that art/movie/music/pop culture figure/etc... Sometimes that's fair if the project or person is especially malicious, but I feel like that environment breeds this idea that to like something it must be flawless and under-appreciated and under attack. Otherwise it is Bad. Sabrina can't just be a fun, self-aware pop star who incorporates her sexuality into her image, she has to be the victim of an unacceptable moral crusade by the type of people that fans of Sabrina Carpenter don't like

8:44 As a parent, you should absolutely be aware of what your child is doing on the internet. Who are they watching and listening to? What websites are they perusing?

[@jacobmillen751]

Idk about this... one of my friends had parents who always checked his browser history like that even through middle school and I felt like it was a sign of not trusting their kid and sort of a lack of respect.

The first thing I thought was if you're so scared of her then why are posting & tweeting about her? I thought it was really weird.

It's a meme now among the fandom lol 😭

[@annabarbour-my5ko]

some "People" that complain over everything seem to forget or don't research that She's Now Litterally An Adult Singer with An Mature Look and Songs Wheter Certain Parents Like it Or Not , she's Nolonger an Disney Teen anymore

[@gabrielleduplessis7388]

Please bear with me when I make this comparison. I feel Sabrina Carpenter is sort of like a burlesque dancer. I know her dancing is not that style, but the way she balances the sexiness with being tasteful about it is. Burlesque dancers manage to stay covered while hinting in a cheeky way they are taking their clothes off or whatever. If there was controversy, I get some people’s points, but people need to stop using Disney Channel celebs as their kid’s role models and be proactive in their kid’s lives. And Disney Channel needs to stop with the purity image they inflict their stars with. I get making something appropriate for children and teens, but the stars are allowed to experiment or embrace certain aspects of their sexuality and personality. I also hate how some still act like it is not ok for said celebs to grow up and mature more.

Firstly, I love your channel discovered it this year, and you’re one of my favs :3 Second, so I watch your channel and Honests channel, and when you guys bring up these controversies it’s the first I’m hearing about, like I may see some of this stuff on TikTok but it’s mostly just like actual news and stuff about other creators . But unless it’s something extreme like from artist like morally wrong or horrible behavior or bad situations, I don’t see these petty negative controversies. I must really be good at the internet lol but even on twitter, I only use it to look up stuff about artist I like and root for, and I would have to search up the controversy.

The internet has brought out the absolute worst in people. I doubt those Taylor Swift fan accounts were real. Taylor loves Sabrina and had her open for her on many of The Eras Tour dates. That is the most exposure a pop artist can get. Taylor called this past summer "The Summer of Sabrina" when her album came out. She congratulated Sabrina on her 3 songs she had released all being in the top ten. Swifties usually don't go against someone Taylor likes. I know that is ridiculous. It is mainly the 9-18 year old that came out of nowhere the last several years. I have done what you have on artists that get tons of hate that I feel is for no reason and found the same thing. The only comments on their page is their hate comments toward a single artist or nothing on their page. Many of them are teenage boys. There are way to many nasty people who spend all day just writing negative comments. If you look at the rude comments about any artists, you will start to notice the same usernames over and over.

I think it’s so interesting that “Former Disney Star” has only recently been tied to her image. She really wasn’t that well known while she was on Disney, besides the children / tweens that were watching Disney Channel at the time who would be a similar age to her now. She was putting out music, but she wasn’t selling out tours or even really singing on the show she was on. It made sense for outrage (real or manufactured) for someone like Miley Cyrus for example who had become a household name while on Disney for her music - she was absolutely synonymous with Hannah Montana. Her character was inseparable from herself in terms of branding. Her fans WERE transferred directly from Miley Stewart to Miley Cyrus once the wig came off (and the contract ended). But Sabrina… Disney really isn’t that much a part of her image. Most of her fans didn’t come from there. She’s been separated from Disney for years and years. She didn’t “grow up in a matter of seconds” the way Miley was perceived to.

[@pancakesxoxo1064]

Exactly! Like I know for sure your 10 yr old kid didn't watch her on disney! And the kids who did watch her are like 18 to 25 now! They will spit any bs just to hate on her.

Kayla, in case you’re curious, I think I’ve found the article mentioned at 9:01. The comments shown on screen are actually from two different articles. The first two are from The Express Tribune (which is apparently an English-language newspaper based out of Pakistan) and the second two are from an article that was posted both on some celebrity gossip site called The Blast as well as Yahoo. However, there are no sources in either articles or even links to the original tweets, so it still seems very weird to me.

Kinda ironic how you don't see this PC behavior at metal shows. When you consider the subject matter of a lot of bands, the overall aggressive tone of their music, and band members may use profanity on stage, yet a lot of metal shows are all ages. Parents love to bring their small children because it's just hanging out regardless of what is in the show. No it doesn't damage society because you'll forget those small interactions by the time the night is over. Sabrina's show is no different and should be considered as such. (IOW bring your kids and everyone enjoy themselves!)

Madonna was rolling around on the floor of a church, in skin tight lingerie, for her Like a Prayer video. I was a teenager at that time, this stuff happens in every generation, I can't believe it's still "shocking." Madonna even got to keep the 5 million she made on her Pepsi contract even though the commercial was canceled. WHAT? If you're taking a child somewhere, why wouldn't you look up what is going to happen? Does this guy drop his child off at just any babysitter, without looking for ref, and making sure the person is safe? Why is it a singers job to change her performance? That's DAD'S job that's MOM'S job.

We all really need to hold on to those last 2 brain cells we have

[@KaliBerg]

we're so cooked, great work as always Kayla!

[@kyyuun]

I think there's a separate conversation to be had about how easy it is to manufacture outrage about women but the more I think about it the less I wanna keep on living lmao

[@neonradius]

Something interesting about this is that it’s not entirely unique to the internet, but the medium in which these controversies take place has changed. Back when most people received their news from major sources like tabloids and news stations and radio, there were still a lot of cases of people getting mad about something no one was actually doing for the purpose of having a bunch of reaffirming conversations with people who already agree with everything you say. However, the internet makes it so it’s incredibly easy for us to contribute to this. So many more people have channels and podcasts and blogs and followings, and not only can that be used to spread these controversies, but they directly profit off of them (although to be fair, so did news organizations of the past- this sort of controversy is great at selling copies because it makes people angry, but since everyone agrees they’re still going to support you). It’s so fascinating to see how things stay the same and how they change. The same behaviors emerge, but the internet changes the scope and speed of information drastically.

[@tpaige5781]

I’ve definitely seen discussions about her relating to this topic on instagram and reddit

[@tpaige5781]

Tbh I’m confused. I don’t know if I’m misunderstanding but what do you mean when you researched it leads to dead ends and the “outrage” doesn’t exist? 😭

[@emalaw1329]

Kayla's about to call a whole new generation "jobless" in this one, I can feel it

[@kaylasays]

noo I’ve learned that people don’t like that and that they literally think I hate jobless people so I am not using that term anymore lol

[@benjaminmcelroy6894]

Its crazy because only Sabrinas fanvase who are now adults know her as a Disney Star...like i am sure their is a 5th grader who is a fan of Sabrina now because kids always find content that is inappropriate and don't realize it. I def listened to pop stars singing about sex and didn't realize it for years. Im not saying fhats good but i am saying no one knows her really as a Disney star in my opinion

[@audacity1970]

I've seen a lot of real backlash on insta reels specifically

'Where are the moms!? Where are they!?' is a great kayla quote

nooo kayla a 17yo is gonna be scared of your video after the sex toy sponsorship noooooo

[@ceciliadohrmann7654]

don't get me wrong, i found this video very interesting and well made, but honestly i was expecting you to talk about sabrina's ties to scientology

[@jeremifrancisco1]

Theory: what if this was manufactured purely to get people talking about her? aka marketing.

[@maninanikittycat4238]
