Sabrina Carpenter Loves Kevin Bacon’s Cover of Her Song

Sabrina Carpenter might be singing “When Did You Get Hot?” to a random ex — but Kevin Bacon? He’s dedicating it to the pigs on his farm. The actor shared a guitar-backed reimagining of the Man’s Best Friend favorite from his farm, and Carpenter absolutely loved it.
“We’re big fans of @sabrinacarpenter here on the farm!” Bacnon accepted his post.
Wearing an Iron Maiden shirt, Bacon plays the song, adding a little personalized twist to Carpenter’s original lyrics: “Now I’m at the prospect convention / My friend looks in your friend’s direction / Said, ‘I’m Bacon, you must be Kevin,’ / And I was like, ‘Huh.’”
Bacon then continues into the chorus, looking back at his roaming pigs and horses in the background: “I did a double take, triple take / Take me to pigs in the blanket, back in the farm. / Piggy, piggy, you’re thickening the plot. When did you get hot?”
Carpenter shared the video of Bacon on her Instagram Story, writing, “least expected but best cover of the year award!!” She also left a comment under his video, writing, “The vibes on the farm are immaculate.”
Bacon previously spoke to Rolling Stone about his love for Carpenter and her album Man’s Best Friend. At the time, he said he was particularly enjoying “Never Getting Laid.”
“Just today, I was walking around Manhattan, listening to the new Sabrina Carpenter album,” he said at the time. “I think that she’s such a talent and, I mean, so many clever songs and clever lyrics.”
The cover may be unexpected, but the Carpenter-Bacon love runs deep. The pop star actually references Bacon’s “Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon” game in her song “Taste,” from Short n’ Sweet. “Well, she clearly has taste. See what I did?” Bacon previously reacted to the shoutout in a shared FaceTime call with his daughter Sosie.
