Sabrina Carpenter just made driverless cars look impossibly chic.

The pop star teaming up with Waymo wasn’t on our 2025 bingo card, but it’s safe to say we’re obsessed with the new partnership announcement, timed with the release of her seventh studio album, Man’s Best Friend.

The campaign featured custom-wrapped Waymo vehicles and a seriously stylish photo shoot starring Carpenter in full glam and classic retro pinup energy.

“I really loved the conversation and that your car self-drives. Stream @SabrinaCarpenter’s #MansBestFriend now on @spotify in a Waymo 🚙 #HouseTour,” Waymo captioned a carousel posted on the album’s release day, Aug. 29, referencing lyrics from the song “House Tour.”

They followed up with the cheekiest comment: “Also, because we’re all thinking it… Sabrina 🚙penter.”

The 26-year-old stunned in a custom red gingham mini dress by Shushu/Tong Studio, complete with delicate white lace trim along the bust, straps and hem. She wore the sweet-yet-sultry look to her album release party later that night, pairing it with red Christian Louboutin heels and a matching bow that pulled her voluminous ponytail back just enough to show off her freshly blown-out bangs.

In the cover snap, Carpenter stepped out of the self-driving car’s backseat, her flawless face card, sculpted jawline and hourglass figure on full display. Her glam featured rosy cheeks, a radiant base, fluttery lashes that made her blue eyes pop and a vibrant berry-toned lip.

Waymo is Alphabet Inc.’s (Google’s parent company) self-driving ride-hailing service. The electric, fully autonomous vehicles can currently be called via app in select U.S. cities, including Phoenix, San Francisco and Los Angeles, with more expansion on the horizon.

The vehicle itself was fully wrapped with “Sabrina Carpenter Man’s Best Friend” graphics across the side, complete with a Spotify logo nodding to the streaming giant’s sponsorship of the release party. In another slide, the Pennsylvania native crouched beside the car, serving a soft, sultry smirk.

The 12-track album, which became Spotify’s most-streamed album in a single day by a female artist this year on Aug. 30, was preceded by the chart-topping single “Manchild,” and the rest of the songs are on their way up Billboard lists, too.

The Grammy Award-winning artist encourages listening to the whole project in order.

“It kind of sounds like women speaking to each other because it is women speaking to each other,” she told NPR. “The story kind of starts, you know, when you’re still in a relationship, and ends obviously when you’re kind of on the other end of it. Women are the smartest and the dumbest, in my experience. It’s like they are dumb exactly when they want to be. I think that that’s kind of a theme that I tackle throughout the whole album, just because it’s a little bit more about the reflection of my own choices and these relationships and how I get into them and how I get out of them.”
