She admitted that it was a plus that Keoghan was sitting right next to her. "I was like, 'Who's the greatest actor that I can find for this music video?' And he was next to me in a chair," Carpenter said. "And he was so excited about it."

The Grammy Connection

After the Recording Academy announced its picks for the 2025 Grammy Awards on Nov. 8, Keoghan expressed his pride in Carpenter. Reacting to her six nominations, including a song of the year nod for "Please Please Please," the Irish actor said, "Brilliant, I know. Absolutely brilliant. Feckin' brilliant, lads." He continued on the SiriusXM show, teasing the hosts for putting him "on the spot."

He added, "I don't know anyone who works as hard. I'm in awe watching her work and how committed and the standards that she sets. Especially being on that music video, just, she knows the vision. She knows what she wants."
