Sabrina Carpenter, ‘Man’s Best Friend’ (Island Records)
Sabrina Carpenter is now just one degree from Kevin Bacon — because he’s covered one of her songs.
Bacon, who’s also a musician, posted a video of himself standing in a pen on a farm, playing the guitar while surrounded by animals — mostly pigs — and singing Sabrina’s new song “When Did You Get Hot?” from her album Man’s Best Friend.
He changed some of the lyrics, though: Instead of “Sabrina, don’t you know Devin?/ and I was like ‘Huh'” he sings, “I said I’m Bacon/ You must be Kevin/ and I was like, ‘Huh?'”
And instead of “Take me to naked Twister back at your place/ baby baby mm, it’s thickening the plot,” he sings, “Take me to pigs in the blanket back on the farm/ Piggy piggy, you’re thickening the plot/ When did you get hot?”
Bacon captioned the video, “We’re big fans of @sabrinacarpenter here on the farm!” Sabrina replied in the comments, “the vibes on the farm are immaculate.”
On her Instagram Story, Sabrina reposted the video and wrote, “least expected but best cover of the year award!!”

A unique piece of John Lennon memorabilia is set to go up for auction in October.
The tinted prescription glasses the Beatles legend wore during his “Lost Weekend” era of 1973 to early 1974 are set to go on the auction block as part of Propstore’s Music Memorabilia Live Auction.
Lennon’s “Lost Weekend” was a period of 18 months where he was separated from wife Yoko Ono and in a relationship with his former assistant May Pang.
The round metal frames, known as Windsor Glasses, were first worn by Lennon during the filming of the 1967 Richard Lester movie How I Won The War. They also appeared on the cover of his 1973 single “Mind Games.”
Lennon infamously lost the glasses during a fight at the Troubadour in Los Angeles in March 1974, which started after Lennon and musician Harry Nilsson got drunk and began heckling the Smothers Brothers during their performance at the venue.
The glasses were originally part of a Sotheby’s Collector’s Carousel auction in June 1987. They were then sold again during Christie’s Popular Culture: Rock & Pop Memorabilia Auction in July 2008.
They are estimated to sell for somewhere between $200,000 and $400,000. Bidding will open in person and online on Oct. 23. More info can be found at Propstoreauction.com.
