Sabrina Carpenter Ends Coachella Set With Racy Shout-Out For Barry Keoghan

Sabrina ended her performance on Saturday with a rendition of her hit Nonsense – including a rewritten version of the song’s outro with new lyrics that reference Barry’s film Saltburn.

“Made his knees so weak he had to spread mine, he’s drinking my bath water like it’s red wine,” she said.

The new lyric, of course, references one of Barry’s most iconic Saltburn scenes, in which his character Oliver Quick drinks the remnants of his friend Felix Catton’s bath water from a drain, after spotting him masturbating in the tub.

Sabrina and Barry were first rumoured to be an item at the end of last year.

Back in January, it was reported in the press that they had been planning to “hard launch” their relationship at the Golden Globes, where he was a nominee.

Before his rumoured romance with Sabrina, Barry was in a relationship with orthodontic therapist Alyson Kierans, with whom he shares a one-year-old son, Brando.

As well as Barry-related lyrics, Sabrina’s rewritten Nonsense outro ended: “Coachella see you back here when I headline.”

BBC Comes Under Fire Over Uncomfortable Andrew Scott Interview On Baftas Red Carpet

An uncomfortable clip of Andrew Scott being interviewed about Barry Keoghan’s Saltburn nude scene on the Baftas red carpet has been met with criticism on social media.

On Sunday night, the Fleabag star was a guest at this year’s Baftas, where his latest movie All Of Us Strangers was nominated for six awards, including Outstanding British Film and an acting nod for co-star Paul Mescal.

As he made his way into the event, Andrew spoke briefly to the BBC, where things took an awkward turn after he was asked about his friendship with Saltburn star and fellow Irish performer Barry Keoghan.

“I know Barry, yeah!” Andrew said when asked about the Saltburn star, prompting the BBC’s reporter to immediately ask for his “reaction when you first saw the naked dance scene at the end of Saltburn”.

After attempting to brush off the question, the BBC’s red carpet reporter then continued: “There is a lot of talk about prosthetics. How well do you know him?”

At that point, Andrew tried to laugh off the question before walking on to speak to another journalist on the red carpet.

However, when a clip of the exchange began doing the rounds on X (formerly Twitter), racking up almost 100,000 views in just a few hours, many users took issue with the BBC’s dubious line of questioning:

HuffPost UK has contacted the BBC for comment.

During the ceremony, Andrew and his fellow All Of Us Strangers actor Paul Mescal presented the award for Best Animated Feature to the latest offering from Studio Ghibli, The Boy And The Heron.

Sophie Ellis-Bextor Soars Even Further Up The UK Singles Chart Thanks To Saltburn

Posted on by
Reply

Her 2001 hit Murder On The Dancefloor is featured prominently in the divisive film’s final scene, which has led to the song ricocheting back into the top 10, landing at number eight last week.

On Friday afternoon, the Official Charts Company confirmed that Murder On The Dancefloor had risen even further this week, missing out on the top spot by just one place.

This puts the track in the same chart position it reached upon its release more than 20 years ago, when it was held off the top spot by Daniel Bedingfield’s Gotta Get Thru This.

Can the continued popularity of Saltburn push Sophie’s track to a new peak next week, and finally hit number one? We’ll have to wait and see.

Sophie previously said of her song’s renewed chart success: “One thing I’ve always loved about my work is its ability to surprise me.

“Murder On The Dancefloor is a song I’ve been singing for 20 years, and I’m on really good terms with it. I love singing it, I love performing it and what’s happening at the moment is kind of magical, actually.”

But Murder On The Dancefloor isn’t the only 2000s hit that Saltburn has helped propel into the charts.

Saltburn is available to stream now on Amazon Prime.

This Classic Pop Banger Has Been Launched Back Into The UK Top 10 – All Thanks To Saltburn

Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s signature hit Murder On The Dancefloor is back in the UK top 10 this week for the first time in two decades.

And it’s all thanks to a little film called Saltburn.

As those who’ve seen the polarising film will already know, Murder On The Dance Floor features heavily in the film’s climax, with Barry Keoghan performing a naked dance around his recently-inherited manor to the 2001 classic in Saltburn’s final moments.

The success of Emerald Fennell’s latest movie has led to a resurgence for the song, with a major boost in streaming figures pushing it to number eight in this week’s UK singles chart.

“One thing I’ve always loved about my work is its ability to surprise me,” Sophie told the Official Charts Company of her track’s new-found renaissance.

“Murder On The Dancefloor is a song I’ve been singing for 20 years, and I’m on really good terms with it. I love singing it, I love performing it and what’s happening at the moment is kind of magical, actually.”

She added: “I’m so proud of Murder On The Dancefloor, but I also share it with everybody who has love for it. I’m just having so much fun. Thank you!”

It was previously revealed that Murder On The Dancefloor had also been discovered by a new audience across the pond thanks to its prominence in Saltburn, even topping the Spotify Viral Chart in the US.

All we can say is, it’s too bad Saltburn didn’t get released a few weeks earlier, we might have had The Cheeky Girls at Christmas number one…

Saltburn’s cultural footprint extends far beyond the Sophie Ellis-Bextor resurgence, though.

One key scene from the film (we’re sure you can guess which) has inspired a viral cocktail on TikTok, as well as its own candle.

Saltburn is available to stream now on Amazon Prime. Watch the (frankly, iconic) music video for Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s Murder On The Dancefloor below:
