The Madonna Blueprint: Coincidence or Deliberate?

So, I was thinking (dangerous, I know) and BAM! The dots start connecting. Could there be a conspiracy going on with Sabrina Carpenter? Like, seriously—have y’all noticed her blueprint feels oddly familiar? Hint: it’s giving major Material Girl vibes. Yes, I’m talking about Madonna herself.

Here’s the tea: In her recent Christmas special (you know, the one I mentioned last time) click here to visit that blog post, Sabrina starts the show in an outfit that screams Madonna’s Marilyn Monroe homage from Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. Coincidence? Maybe.

But wait there’s more.. I attended her Short n Sweet Tour and during her concert, she breaks out into a cover of Material Girl. And if that wasn’t enough, during her 2024 MTV VMA performance, she’s surrounded by men who are holding her up as she is laying down—eerily similar to Madonna’s aesthetic of being worshipped by men. The plot thickens, my friends!

But here’s where my brain spirals: Madonna is a legend of reinvention, controversy, and pushing boundaries. Is Sabrina low-key following in her footsteps? And if so, is it an artistic homage, or are we witnessing the next phase in some grand cultural conspiracy?

A Pop Icon in the Making: That Bob Mackie Moment

Speaking of the 2024 MTV VMAs, let’s talk about Sabrina Carpenter’s showstopping VMAs look. After a monumental summer that’s solidified her rise to pop stardom (and rightfully so, because that album is pure gold), Sabrina stepped onto the black carpet in a vintage Bob Mackie dress. Sound familiar? It should—this is the same dress Madonna wore to the 1991 Academy Awards! Wild!

The dress alone is enough to make a statement, but Sabrina wearing it feels like a direct nod to Madonna’s legacy. It’s almost like she’s saying, “I know the blueprint, and I’m not afraid to use it.” Whether intentional or not, the parallels between Sabrina and Madonna just keep stacking up.

Madonna’s “Satan Year” vs. Sabrina’s Feather Moment

Let’s circle back to Madonna for a sec. Madonna has been wrapped in conspiracy theories for literal decades—especially when it comes to her supposed ties to the occult. Madonna started rebelling early in her life specifically, in a more risque and provocative nature. She had an overall understanding of good vs evil and had a fascination with the latter – allegedly. According to a 1996 interview she had promoting Evita “Many people see Eva Perón as either a saint or the incarnation of Satan. That means I can definitely identify with her.”

Remember the Satanic Panic? Yeah, they basically crowned her the queen of devil worship. She’s also been deep in the Kabbalah game, which only added fuel to the fire. And let’s not forget the drama surrounding her 66th birthday, dubbed her “Satan Year” by Culled Culture—because apparently, she doesn’t do subtle milestones.

Madonna’s whole career has been a masterclass in controversy. From writhing around in a wedding dress during her 1984 “Like a Virgin” MTV performance to the scandalous and questionable imagery in her 1989 “Like a Prayer” music video, she’s always known how to push buttons. The “Like a Prayer” backlash even made Pepsi pull her ad faster than you can say “outrage.” Controversial?

Now, fast-forward to Sabrina’s Feather music video. Filmed in a Catholic church? Check. Stirring up controversy? Double check. Sure, the Catholic Church has had its share of, um, questionable headlines, But like… let’s be real, the Catholic Church has its own skeletons, so maybe this isn’t the hill to die on. Just saying. Like Madonna before her, Sabrina seems to be poking the bear—whether intentionally or not.

And honestly? It works. Drama sells, people.

The Parallels Keep Coming

Let’s not forget that both Madonna and Sabrina have faced their fair share of backlash over provocative lyrics, racy performances, and their unapologetic confidence. Sabrina isn’t just the former Disney princess anymore. She’s fully stepped into her “grown and sexy” era, and it’s turning heads.

But the real question is: Is this just a natural evolution, or is Sabrina leaning into the Madonna blueprint to make her mark? It’s hard to ignore the similarities. The edgy humor, the boundary-pushing aesthetics, the ability to make headlines without even trying—it’s all giving Material Girl 2.0.

Final Thoughts

At the end of the day, Sabrina Carpenter is undeniably talented and charismatic. Whether she’s subtly channeling Madonna or just living her best life, she’s got us all talking. And that, my friends, is the sign of a true pop icon in the making.

So, is there a conspiracy here? Maybe. Is Sabrina Carpenter secretly planning to take over the world, one feathered church video at a time? Honestly, I wouldn’t even be mad.

Until next time, keep questioning everything, drink your water, and remember: I’m just a girl.
