Overview
- Carpenter told Late Night with Seth Meyers on Dec. 8 that she fell on a cactus during filming and spent the day removing spines after being seen by an on‑set medic.
- The production ultimately ran three days after she added an extra day post‑edit to make the cut “crazier,” marking her longest music‑video shoot.
- The team filmed 37 outfits at a Santa Clarita movie ranch with desert road‑trip imagery and risky set pieces.
- Scenes depicted her rollerblading while holding onto a truck, fleeing gunfire, and leaping into a shark‑infested pool, underscoring the video’s ambitious scope.
- “Manchild” received four Grammy nominations, including Carpenter’s first for Best Music Video, along with Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Pop Solo Performance.
