Sabrina Carpenter's single "Tears" amplifies her critique of emotionally inept men with disco synths and playful lyrics. The music video opens after a car crash as Carpenter enters a mysterious house and meets Colman Domingo in androgynous, Frank-N-Furter–inspired drag. The five-minute clip moves through a hidden disco filled with queer outsiders and drag divas, a stripping sequence that echoes The Rocky Horror Picture Show, and scenes in a cornfield featuring a lipstick-red tractor and pole dancing. Domingo performs multiple costume changes, and Carpenter and Domingo finish together in tightly choreographed dance routines. The video ends with Carpenter's boyfriend approaching her.
Once inside, she's introduced to two-time Oscar nominee and star Colman Domingo, who is donning a cropped suit, red belt and lipstick and a finger wave wig à la Dr. Frank-N-Furter's androgynous style. The campy, five-minute clip continues with Carpenter being pushed into a hidden disco room among a rabble of queer outsiders and drag divas, before her baby blue skirt suit co-ord is stripped off her by a flurry of hands with extravagantly long red nails.
Carpenter is left in just her lingerie, much like what happens to Susan Sarandon's character Janet in The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Domingo and his new co-star Carpenter then head into a cornfield, where the Euphoria actor straddles a lipstick-red tractor, and the "Please Please Please" singer whips around a pole dancing pole. Domingo makes a quick change or two, donning a black leather corset and towering burnt orange beehive in one scene, and a Kinky Boots-style red lingerie set in another.
