I know nothing about Sabrina Carpenter but when I saw the image the first thing I thought of was Spinal Tap's "Smell The Glove" album. . . a similar image only described (not seen) in the film - a tribute, perhaps? Probably not.
I also remember how the Rolling Stones chose to very intentionally court controversy with images & lyrics on several of their '70s albums - "Black & Blue" and "Some Girls" come to mind.
Outrage & controversy sells records! Same as it ever was. . .
“Those were the days when you shouldn't show your butt to have a career. Now it's the opposite…” So on point, and so unfortunate. Carpenter is smart enough to know that suggestion is actually more titillating than outright display.

Great reference Hugh! Totally see the Spinal Tap connection

Cool-looking album cover. We need more provocative artists that are willing to create conversations. Today's music and celebrities are so uninspired.
A Grammy for best cover... ABOUT TIME! If we do recognize sound editing in cinema, it was absurd not to acknowledge album cover for music!
