Sabrina Carpenter directs the heist. The Espresso singer, along with actresses Margaret Qualley and Madelyn Cline, breaks into a Hollywood mansion to steal jewelry, clothes, and even a Grammy. This is the plot of the music video for House Tour, one of the tracks from Carpenter’s latest album Man’s Best Friend. Music videos produced by the pop singer have become popular for including actresses and movie references: in Taste, featuring Jenna Ortega, she hides clues to Psycho, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, and Kill Bill; Tears features Colman Domingo and is inspired by The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
