Sabrina Carpenter and Jenna Ortega star in a darkly comedic music video for Carpenter’s latest single, “Taste.” The video, warning of graphic violence, playfully exaggerates revenge fantasies, reminiscent of a Quentin Tarantino film but infused with cartoonish humour.
The narrative revolves around Carpenter and Ortega, portrayed by Rohan Campbell, vying for a boyfriend’s affection. Their rivalry spirals into wildly exaggerated violence, including scenes where Ortega sets Carpenter on fire, throws her out a window and impales her on a fence. Despite the chaos, Carpenter retaliates with equal enthusiasm. The climax humorously unfolds at the boyfriend’s funeral, where both women nonchalantly discuss their ordeal over coffee.
Carpenter humorously describes the video as a blend of cartoon violence and Tarantino-esque drama. This mix of dark humour and over-the-top action makes the video an engaging spectacle that highlights both actresses’ chemistry and comedic talents.
