No actual skinny dipping here; instead it's a magical story of Sabrina Carpenter reminding herself to be brave, both creatively and othewise.

Crossover country/pop star Kacey Musgraves shares a clip from her longform star-crossed: the film landing via the Paramount+ streaming service. "Simple Times" starts as a simple trip to the mall, but then reveals itself itself to be a caper.

FINNEAS and director Sam Bennett collaborate on what looks like another tightly choreographed one-take video.

This video lives up to its title "Skinnydipped," so, consider it not safe for work.
