What to Know
You don’t perform songs like “Manchild” or “Dumb & Poetic” without having a certain affinity for calling our guys on their worst behavior. That’s Sabrina Carpenter for you, and when someone on X (formerly Twitter) thought they would get the best of her by calling her out on something, she clapped back in a way that only she can.
Then, her fans came together and responded to her X post with digital applause for the singer and disdain for the incel-like behavior of the man who tried to seemingly put her in her place. Isn’t that how those incels talk? Or, something like that. Either way, Sabrina held her own, and her simple reply quickly went viral.
Sabrina Carpenter’s fans showed proof that she can, in fact, get into an SUV unassisted.

The X user’s post was actually a response to a clip of Sabrina singing at Lalapalooza. In the clip, per its title, Sabrina gets the crowd of 100,000 people to sing along with her to “Manchild.” Apparently, the guy who saw this didn’t love it despite not knowing Sabrina personally, like, at all.
He shared the post and wrote, “Women are always like ‘men are useless’ but Sabrina Carpenter is like 4 foot 11, she can’t even climb into a mid size SUV without help.”
To that, Sabrina replied, “Yes I can?” it might not sound like much, but that’s sort of the point. If Sabrina can make her point without saying much at all, while this apparently pressed X user felt the need to insult her capability to get in a car on her own while insulting her height, she already won. And her fans seem to think so too.
“She didn’t say men are useless, she’s talking about the ‘manchild’ in the song being useless,” someone replied to the X post. “But if you got identified… Oh well.”
When another incel bro troll on X replied to that with, “It’s not about being identified with it. It’s that people like you would never label a woman as being useless but are completely fine by giving that label to men so easily,” that same Sabrina fan was ready with a reply.
“Women get labeled way worse than this,” she wrote. “For example, Tyler, the Creator was at the same festival yesterday and no men were complaining. He’s written lyrics like these and is still famous and idolized. Y’all will be okay.” She shared a screenshot of Tyler, the Creator’s more controversial lyrics to go along with her point. Boom. Mic drop.
Her fans called out the user for his incel behavior.

The internet troll later replied back to Sabrina to tell her that he and his wife are apparently huge fans and that he knows some great guys on social media, seemingly to fix her up. Something tells me she won’t be taking dating advice or suggestions from him, though. What might have started out as a joke without much humor to it evolved into a battle of Sabrina’s dedicated fans continuously clapping back at the incels who replied to her X post about how men handle her security and concert details.
Then one of Sabrina’s fans very un-seriously replied, “Men wanna be needed so bad LMAO what SUV is even that tall?”
Others actually debated about Sabrina Carpenter needing help to get into an SUV without help.

After Sabrina replied to the troll with her now viral and iconic one line, people left comments to show photos or videos of Sabrina getting into an SUV totally unassisted.
“Girl could have clapped back and said, ‘OK maybe I lied, men are great to use as a step stool…’ But instead she just said. ‘nuH uH,'” someone joked in response to Sabrina’s X post.
And just so we’re clear, Sabrina might be pushing five feet even, so if this guy is going to try and poke fun at her height, he might want to make sure he is accurate. Also, have you seen the platform shoes she wears? Those add on at least a few inches.
