Sabrina Carpenter takes brutal swipe at ex Barry Keoghan in new music video with Dolly Parton

Sabrina Carpenter takes brutal swipe at ex Barry Keoghan in new music video with Dolly Parton

Sabrina Carpenter took a brutal swipe at her ex Barry Keoghan in her new Please Please Please remix video with Dolly Parton.

The original version of Please Please Please was a solo number for Sabrina, with a music video that prominently featured Barry, whom she was then still dating.

Now, however, Sabrina and Barry have gone their separate ways, and their split is reflected in a revised clip that dropped Thursday night. 

Dolly was added to Please Please Please for the remix, and in its music video, she and Sabrina channel Thelma & Louise by fleeing the police in a car together.

Near the end, it is revealed that a bound, gagged man is struggling and screaming in the back of the car – wearing the same outfit Barry wore in the original video.

The lyrics are about her begging her boyfriend not to ‘bring her to tears,’ urging him: ‘Whatever devil’s inside you, don’t let him out tonight.’

The over three-minute video sees the Espresso singer, 25, star alongside the country legend, 79, as they act out a Thelma & Louise-inspired plot.

Carpenter — who is Vogue’s new cover star — called Parton ‘one of my biggest idols’ as she announced the video and song’s simultaneous release on Instagram.

‘Dolly and me singing in a pickup truck!!!!!! I am so honored to have one of my biggest idols on a song that means so much to me,’ gushed the songstress.

Their new rendition of ‘Please Please Please’ is featured on the deluxe edition of Carpenter’s Grammy Award-winning album Short n’ Sweet.

The video, sH๏τ in vintage-era black and white, follows the glamorous duo as they try to evade the police after kidnapping one of Carpenter’s ex-boyfriends, who is tied up and thrown into the back of their pickup truck.

Carpenter rocks Dolly-inspired blonde curls and frilly lace gloves while sitting behind the wheel as the Jolene hitmaker sings in the pᴀssenger’s seat.

Parton, who helped give the pop track a new country twang, rocks crystal-covered cateye sunglᴀsses, sparkly fingerless gloves and a sequin sweater in the video.

At one point, the pair are seen staring proudly at the bed of the truck after successfully capturing Carpenter’s bound ex lover.

Carpenter does an outfit change for the scene as she duets with Parton in a ruffled gingham-print bathing suit and high-heels.

In another scene, the duo sit in the back of the truck and Parton helps light Carpenter’s cigarette.

The police eventually catch up with the glam criminals as Carpenter notices cop lights in her rear view mirror.

The video then flashes to a scene of Carpenter’s boyfriend, who has a sack over his head, writhing around in the back of the truck.

Parton, who takes over driving duties, floors it and the blonde beauties are able to evade capture.
