She shared her humorous goal on Instagram on January 2nd, alongside a series of photos from a winter getaway. The caption, “new year’s resolution no more dick jokes it’s gonna be really hard,” immediately drew attention and amusement from fans, who playfully pointed out the irony of her already breaking her resolution within the caption itself. Comments flooded in, highlighting the clever wordplay and expressing amusement at her self-aware humor.
Carpenter’s Instagram post showcased pictures with friends enjoying snowy landscapes, ski lifts, cozy indoor settings, and puzzles. The singer herself was pictured in a sparkling blue snowflake- adorned dress and a HelloKitty snowsuit. The post offered a glimpse into her winter break, juxtaposing the lighthearted atmosphere with her jokingly ambitious resolution.
The “Please Please Please” singer is currently nominated for six Grammy Awards, including prestigious categories like Record of the Year, Album of the Year, and Song of the Year. Known for her witty and often suggestive lyrics, Carpenter’s playful approach to language is a hallmark of her artistry.

Eric Vetro, Carpenter’s longtime vocal coach, shared insights into the singer’s evolving lyrical style in a December interview. He expressed that the shift towards more mature and suggestive themes didn’t come as a surprise, given her inherent sense of humor and playful risqué tendencies. Vetro emphasized that the transition was gradual and that Carpenter maintains a sense of class and avoids vulgarity in her songwriting.
He also recalled his first impression of Carpenter, being struck by her charisma and confidence on stage even as a teenager. He described her as a natural performer, commanding the stage with the presence of a seasoned professional.
Carpenter’s ability to balance playful innuendo with sophistication is a key element of her appeal. Her lyrics, while often suggestive, are crafted with wit and cleverness, avoiding overt crudeness. This skillful navigation of suggestive themes allows her to connect with audiences on multiple levels, fostering both amusement and appreciation for her artistry.
Vetro highlighted Carpenter’s ability to “ride the line” between playful and provocative, maintaining a sense of class and avoiding anything “trashy.” He characterized her lyrics as “sexy and fun,” emphasizing the use of innuendo as a tool for engaging listeners without resorting to explicit content.
