Dionne Warwick Clarifies Her Remark After Saying She Can’t Relate To THIS Sabrina Carpenter Lyric: ‘This Was A Joke’

As a seasoned veteran of the music industry with a career spanning over six decades, I, Dionne Warwick, have seen it all – from the rise of Motown to the digital age of Spotify. I’ve shared stages with the greats and collaborated with the legends, yet I find myself today in the midst of this new generation of artists, trying to make sense of their music and their ways.


For artists like Sabrina Carpenter and Dionne Warwick, renown comes with its own set of challenges. Notably, a statement made by Warwick generated controversy when she revealed she couldn’t connect with certain lyrics penned by Carpenter. In a recent appearance on NPR’s “Nobody Asked for This (But I’m Gonna Tell You Anyhow),” Warwick openly shared her opinions about some of the songs, sparking debate among fans and critics alike.

On September 27th, a segment that Warwick posted on the X platform showcased her evaluating popular tracks from artists like Chappell Roan, Charli XCX, Kendrick Lamar, Sabrina Carpenter, and others, assigning them ratings of one to five ‘Dionnes’.

As a lifestyle expert, I’ve recently shared my thoughts on a couple of tracks that have caught my attention. The song “Please, Please, Please” by Sabrina, I must say, truly struck a chord with me and earned a well-deserved 4.5 out of 5 Dionnes from yours truly.

When it was appropriate, Warwick commended Sabrina as a promising young artist in the entertainment industry. Furthermore, Warwick advised the media not to distort her quotes or feature her name prominently in headlines. The sensationalism and uproar led Warwick to take action on platform X. She clarified that her remarks were intended to be humorous and no significant consequences should be anticipated from them.

In response, she playfully retorted, “It’s a jest, but how could it relate to me? I don’t stay up late. I rest instead… Sabrina, a talented young vocalist, is making waves. I hope only the best for her, success and a long career.

Specifically, she held high regard for every young artist involved in that part, and found it frustrating when certain media outlets prioritized sensational news over important issues.

Dionne Warwick praised Chappell Roan’s “Good Luck, Babe!” for its unique vibe similar to ABBA, scoring it 4.5 out of 5 Dionnes. Charli XCX’s track “Guess” received a decent four, although Warwick wasn’t sure about the meaning behind “Brat Summer.” She humorously suggested she could be considered a brat as well. Regarding the feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar, Warwick showed little interest and questioned why they would argue publicly.
