Sabrina Carpenter's 'Please Please Please' music video: A pop culture lover's dream

Sabrina gives nods to iconic Hollywood couples to a tribute to Coachella, the video is packed with references.

Hold the "Espresso", because Sabrina Carpenter's newest music video is a pop culture fan's dream. Released on Thursday, 6th June, the video for her single "Please Please Please" is full of references and Easter eggs that will delight any pop culture enthusiast.

Carpenter, 25, stars alongside her real-life boyfriend Barry Keoghan in the video, which was directed by Bardia Zeinali and styled by Ron Hartleben. The couple's undeniable chemistry is just one element of this must-see video.

From the opening scene, which sees Carpenter in jail, the video pays homage to "historically and famously chaotic couples" like Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee, Sid and Nancy, and Madonna and Dennis Rodman. The narrative of two unpredictable lovers on the run also draws inspiration from films like Natural Born Killers and Thelma & Louise.

There's even a subtle tribute to Coachella, where Carpenter performed earlier this year. The song title "Please Please Please" was inspired by a sign in the crowd during her set that read "Please! Please! Please! Play 'Espresso!'".

Fans of Quentin Tarantino will also appreciate the title cards at the beginning and end of the video, which use a font similar to those in Pulp Fiction, The Hateful Eight, and Jackie Brown.

Carpenter's fashion in the video is also a visual treat, with references to Britney Spears' "...Baby One More Time" video, Uma Thurman's iconic looks in Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill, and Michelle Pfeiffer in Scarface.

In short, "Please Please Please" is a music video that is both visually stunning and packed with pop culture references. It's a must-watch for any fan of Carpenter, Keoghan, or pop culture in general.
