In the new music video for Sabrina Carpenter’s song “Taste,” things take a dark and twisted turn as Sabrina and Jenna Ortega’s characters engage in a deadly game of revenge. What starts off as a typical storyline of seeking revenge on a boyfriend’s new girlfriend quickly escalates into a bloodbath of epic proportions. Ortega’s character puts up a gory fight against Carpenter’s character, using guns, machetes, voodoo dolls, fire, and even resorting to using her own severed limb as a weapon.
As the video unfolds, viewers are taken on a journey filled with unexpected twists and turns.
