Sabrina Carpenter addresses viral theory about their alleged relationship in lawsuit against Eric Adams: 'Should we talk about it…'

Sabrina Carpenter, who previously caused controversy for her music video “Feather,” which was filmed in a Catholic church in Brooklyn, is now at the center of a new theory.

During her recent show at Madison Square Garden, she addressed speculation that her video may have led to an investigation into New York City Mayor Eric Adams. The theory suggests a connection between the video, the firing of Monsignor Jamie Gigantiello and the indictment of the mayor.

During her performance at Madison Square Garden on Sunday night, Sabrina Carpenter mentioned the viral rumors that were forming around the charges against her and Eric Adams.

There is speculation that the “Carpenter's Feather” video, filmed at Blessed Virgin Mary Catholic Church in Brooklyn, is somehow connected to the federal investigation that led to Adams' indictment. “Damn, now what?” Carpenter joked to the crowd, then added, “Should we talk about how I indicted the mayor or …”

The light-hearted comment drew cheers from the audience, but revealed a much larger controversy that began last year when her music video led to the firing of Monsignor Jamie Gigantiello, who had allowed Carpenter to film in the church.

According to the New York Post, federal investigators issued a subpoena against the church last week. The subpoena apparently sought information about Monsignor Jamie Gigantiello's ties to Frank Carone, Mayor Eric Adams' former chief of staff.

While the details are unclear, the subpoena is reportedly related to Carpenter's controversial Feather video, which has around 100 million views on YouTube. Some believe the church's role in allowing the video to be filmed may have exposed corruption and accelerated the federal investigation into Adams.

The Diocese of Brooklyn has not released details of the investigation. When asked whether Carpenter's video played a role in the subpoena or the broader investigation, they simply responded, “It would be inappropriate to comment further on this review, which is ongoing.” The diocese is committed to any investigation to cooperate with law enforcement.”

The original backlash to Sabrina Carpenter's Feather video came shortly after it was released in late October last year. The bloody and graphic video, filmed at the Blessed Virgin Mary Catholic Church, sparked strong reactions from the church and its supporters.

Carpenter addressed the backlash at the time, claiming she received appropriate permission to film the video in the church. Carpenter addressed the situation in an interview with Variety, explaining that she received permission to film there. During her performance, she wore a T-shirt that read “Jesus was a carpenter,” referencing both her last name and the ongoing controversy.
