At the start of the visual, the “Nonsense” singer approaches a pink bed full of instruments that can be used for murder and grabs a knife, using it as a mirror as she applies lipstick. She then runs into a mansion, where she attempts to kill theYouactress, whom she thinks is in bed with her man.

However, it’s a decoy, and Ortega emerges with a shotgun, blasting Carpenter over a balcony. The pair duel in the hospital, with voodoo dolls and in the shower.

While Ortega is seemingly kissing her “beloved boyfriend,” he turns into Carpenter, whom she cuts with a chainsaw. (She quickly learns she actually killed her beau.) At the end of the visual, the pair attend his funeral in black funeral garb and leave giggling while holding smoothies.

In June, Carpenter’s released the music video for theJack Antonoff-produced single"Please Please Please,“featuring another actor — her boyfriendBarry Keoghan.

In the visual, Keoghan, 31, appears throughout most of the music video. But more directly in the lyrics, Carpenter even made a cheeky reference to his profession, singing, “I heard that you’re an actor, so act like a stand-up guy.”

The music video kicks off with the rising singer-songwriter getting released from jail, which appears to nod to the arrest at the end of her"Espresso” music video. She then locks eyes with a fellow inmate (Keoghan).

Later, theTall Girlactress pleads with Keoghan as he returns to his criminal ways.

“Please, please, please don’t prove I’m right,” Carpenter sings. “And please, pleasе, please don’t bring me to tеars when I just did my makeup so nice. Heartbreak is one thing, my ego’s another. I beg you, don’t embarrass me, motherf—er. Please, please, please.”
