Jenna Ortega has debuted a surprising new project, with the star set to feature in a music video from pop star Sabrina Carpenter.
Best known for her roles in Wednesday and Scream, Ortega will appear in the video for Carpenter’s latest single, ‘Taste’, which comes from her upcoming studio album, Short n’ Sweet.
In a post on her social media channels, Carpenter wrote that the video for ‘Taste’, the follow-up to smash hits ‘Espresso’ and ‘Please Please Please’, would be released at the same time as the album on Friday (August 23).

The post also included a 16-second teaser of the video, which showed Carpenter overseeing a variety of weapons on her bed, before entering a house with a knife as she discovers Ortega in the shower with a mystery man.
The homage to Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho sees Carpenter opening the curtain as she prepares to attack Ortega, with the clip ending as the singer remarks that she “leaves quite an impression” whilst doing her makeup from the reflection in the knife.
Ortega, who will next be seen on the big screen in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, recently addressed some of the criticism she received after sharing that she had altered lines of dialogue during filming for Wednesday, admitting that she was occasionally “unprofessional”.
“To be fair, I think I probably could have used my words better in describing all of that,” she said. “I think, oftentimes, I’m such a rambler. I think it was hard because I felt like had I represented the situation better, it probably would’ve been received better.“Everything that I said felt so magnified. It felt almost dystopian to me. I felt like a caricature of myself. You’re never going to please everybody, and as someone who naturally was a people pleaser, that was really hard for me to understand.
“Some people just may not like you, and that’s entirely fine. I got sick of myself last year. My face was everywhere, so it’s like, fair enough, if I were opening my phone and I saw the same girl with some stupid quote or something, I would be over it too.”
