“Everyone thinks of me as this like, horndog popstar, but there’s really so much more to me. I’m not just horny, I’m also turned on and sexually charged, and I love to read,” she quipped, adding that her “favorite book is the encyclopedia” because “it’s so big, and it’s hard.”

Carpenter, 26, also poked fun at the controversy surrounding her risqué “Man’s Best Friend” album cover, saying, “Some people got a little freaked out by the cover. I’m not sure why.”

“It was just me on all fours with an unseen figure pulling my hair,” she explained. “But what people don’t realize is that’s just how they cropped it.”

“If you zoom out, it’s clearly a picture from the 50th anniversary special of [“SNL” comedian] Bowen [Yang] helping me up by the hair … after Martin Short shoved me out of the buffet line,” the pop star added as the photo zoomed out.

Carpenter has previously gotten candid about her sex drive and being labeled the “horniest girl alive” due to her album tracks during an interview with Vanity Fair.

“I’m actually a normal amount of horny,” she explained, saying that she “doesn’t take things too seriously” during live shows.

When the two-time Grammy winner kicked off her “Short n’ Sweet” tour in September 2024, her on-stage wardrobe consisted of lingerie-inspired sets.

At the time, Carpenter was forced to address critics calling out her wardrobe, telling Time, “To that I just say, don’t come to the show, and that’s OK.”

She specifically slammed “the occasional mother that has a strong opinion on how you should be dressing.”

Off-stage, the Disney Channel alum also rocks see-through dresses and other risqué outfits.
