“[M]y new holiday EP ‘fruitcake’ will be coming out next Friday, November 17th!!” she wrote in the body of the “email,” and included a track list and a pre-save link. She also attached an image of herself holding up a, frankly, unappetizing-looking fruitcake, but chances are her new EP will be much sweeter than that particular holiday tradition.

Carpenter has recently dropped more new content, such as the music video for her song “Feather” from emails i can’t send fwd:, the deluxe version of her 2022 album. In the horror-themed video, which dropped on Halloween, Carpenter decked out a historic church with pastel pink and purple coffins and cutesy funereal paraphernalia. Throughout the video, she played a Jennifer’s Body-type character causing mayhem and tragedy for misbehaving men. (Americansongwriter reports).
The video humorously drew on slasher movie tropes to address toxic masculinity and men behaving badly, such as fighting each other for Carpenter’s attention or whistling at her on the street. In the end, she poses on her pink hearse in a beautiful black tulle mini-dress and veil, “mourning” the doomed men with a wicked smile.
