Sabrina Carpenter’s music video is sparking religious controversy.
Last month, the 24-year-old singer released the music video for her song “Feather” on Halloween.
During the horror-themed clip, Sabrina kills and/or witnesses the deaths of men who treat her poorly, including booing her and taking an upskirt photo of her without her consent. Later, she dances around the church to celebrate the men’s funerals.

A Catholic bishop issued a statement denouncing the filming of part of the video inside and outside a church in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
It was later learned that a Catholic priest was stripped of his administrative duties because of the video, via The New York Times.
Two days after the music video’s release, the Diocese of Brooklyn shared a statement with the Catholic News Agency saying that Bishop Robert Brennan was “horrified by what was filmed at the Church of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Brooklyn.” .
The Diocese claimed that the Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary did not follow current protocol to approve what is filmed on the property, and it was Monsignor Jamie J. Gigantiello who gave permission.
“The parish did not follow diocesan policy regarding filming on Church property, which includes a review of scenes and script,” the statement proclaimed.
In a post, the pastor apologized and said his online search for the artist “did not reveal anything questionable,” so he approved of the “effort to further strengthen the bonds between the young creative artists who make up a large part of this community”.
He added that the final version of the image “was not the one that was initially presented to me.”
The Brooklyn church says “a more thorough investigation into the approval process will be conducted in the coming weeks.”
