The Big Picture Jenna Ortega stars as Sabrina Carpenter's killer rival in the Death Becomes Her and Kill Bill-inspired "Taste" music video, which was dropped only a few hours after the release of her latest album, Short n' Sweet. The visual features the two Disney Channel alums as immortal leads trying to murder each other, only to form an unlikely friendship at the end of the video.
The two then continue to fight and keep on coming back from the dead, akin to Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn's Robert Zemeckis-directed Death Becomes Her. Their murderous bloodbath comes to a halt when Ortega mistakenly kills the nameless boyfriend with a chainsaw near a pool where she and Carpenter share a kiss. They then realize they are better off as friends as they attend the "very insecure" boy's funeral.
Despite having previously dabbled in a variety of genres as a child star, Ortega shines the brightest on the darkest side of television and cinema. Having starred as Ellie Alves in You Season 2 and the titular Wednesday Addams in Netflix's Wednesday, which is now gearing up for its highly anticipated second season, the actress received praise for her portrayals in a slew of horror-thriller features, including in The Babysitter: Killer Queen, Scream and Scream VI, and Ti West's X.
