{ "title": "Sabrina Carpenter's Music Video: The Unlikely Catalyst for NYC's First Muslim, South Asian Mayor?", "article": Zohran Mamdani made history by becoming the first Muslim, South Asian mayor of New York City. However, a viral claim on social media suggests that Sabrina Carpenter's music video, Feather, may have inadvertently contributed to his mayoral election win. A chain reaction of events, sparked by the controversy surrounding Carpenter's music video, allegedly led to the indictment of former Mayor Eric Adams. The music video, filmed at the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary Church in Brooklyn, drew criticism for its depiction of violence and impropriety. The Diocese of Brooklyn condemned the video, and a Catholic priest, Monsignor Jamie J. Gigantiello, was stripped of his administrative duties. The church was subsequently subpoenaed by authorities, who were investigating Gigantiello's business dealings with Adams' office. This led to Adams being indicted in September 2024 on charges of bribery and other offenses. While the charges were later dropped without prejudice, Adams stepped down as a mayoral candidate, citing media speculation. This narrowed the candidate pool, ultimately contributing to Mamdani's win. While there is no direct link between Carpenter's actions and Mamdani's victory, fans have connected the dots between the music video, the church controversy, and the subsequent indictment of Adams. The theory remains speculative, but it highlights the unpredictable nature of politics and the power of social media to shape public opinion.
