When Sabrina Carpenter kicked off her Emails I Can’t Send tour in 2022, she introduced a fun new tradition to fans through her popular song “Nonsense.”

Before long, Sabrina had earned a reputation for how NSFW these new lyrics could be, with the singer even acknowledging how “vulgar” she is during her San Antonio show, where she told the crowd, “I just wanna ride him like a rodeo / But first he gotta grow it like Pinocchio / Sorry I’m so vulgar, San Antonio.”

Another example of her X-rated ad-libs is Chicago’s “Nonsense” performance, where she sang, “Water ain’t the only thing I swallow / I really wish I could play here tomorrow / My favorite city is Chicago.”

And Sabrina continued to embrace her sexual side when she joined Taylor Swift’s record-breaking Eras tour as the opening act for her Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Australia, and Singapore dates.

Now, in a new interview with Cosmopolitan, the star has revealed that there is more to her X-rated lyrics than people may think, and she has actually learned a lot about her own sexuality by writing them.

She said, “It’s funny, too, writing the outros, because I feel like I’ve learned a lot more about sexuality through writing those than people think.”

“I think people think I’m just obnoxiously horny,” Sabrina added, “when, in reality, writing them comes from the ability to not be fearful of your sexuality, as opposed to just not being able to put it down.”

Sabrina famously ran into some controversy with her suggestive lyrics last year when the BBC pulled her appearance on its Radio 1 Live Lounge show from both its website and its YouTube channel.

But Sabrina took the whole thing in good humor, and when her tour reached the United Kingdom a few months later, she couldn’t resist making light of the situation in true “Nonsense” style.

The star sang during her Newport show in the Isle of Wight, “I thought he was the one, but it was too short / BBC don’t like my sense of humor / Everybody’s proper fit in Newport.”

Elsewhere in her Cosmo interview, the star offered readers her very own sex tips as she shared, “My advice is, do whatever feels most comfortable to you. You can be curious and ask questions, but a lot of it is just going to be you learning yourself. So do whatever makes you feel the most comfortable and safe.”
