The Jacksonville Jaguars’ 2025 schedule release had Us wondering, “Have you ever tried this one?”
The NFL team used pop star Sabrina Carpenter for inspiration when they announced their home opponents for the upcoming season on Wednesday, May 14.
In a video posted via TikTok, the team used clips of Carpenter, 26, performing her song “Juno” on her Short n’ Sweet tour, which has become a viral part of each show, to accompany each team on their home schedule.
“Please Please Please buy tickets 🩵🩵🩵,” the Jaguars captioned the video, a reference to another one of Carpenter’s songs.
The video received mixed reactions in the comments section, with one fan commenting, “What does this even mean 😭.”
Another wrote, “The Gen Z women who run this account are the best part of this franchise.”
The video even caught the eye of the Philadelphia Eagles TikTok account, who wrote, “You guys 😂.”
Jacksonville opens up the 2025 regular season on September 7 at home against the Carolina Panthers.
In the lyrics to “Juno,” Carpenter pays homage to the 2007 movie of the same name starring Elliot Page and Michael Cera.
“I know you want my touch for life / If you love me right, then who knows?” Carpenter sings in the chorus. “I might let you make me Juno / You know I just might / Let you lock me down tonight / One of me is cute, but two though?”
When she gets to the second pre-chorus on tour — where Carpenter sings “Wanna try out some freaky positions? / Have you ever tried this one?” — she shimmies up to the front of the stage before mimicking a new sex position every night.
Perhaps Carpenter’s most shocking “Juno” position came at a tour stop in Paris where she mimed an Eiffel Tower pose with two of her dancers.
In an exclusive interview with Us Weekly in December 2024, songwriter Amy Allen, who cowrote “Juno” with Carpenter and John Ryan, said the idea for the song was “all Sabrina.”
“I’m so grateful to have her as a collaborator for moments like that, because I think being a pop songwriter, like, five years ago, if somebody had come in with that concept, that would’ve been like, ‘I’m not sure people will get that,’” Allen, 33, explained. “But because she’s so authentic and her artistry is so intact and she knows who she is, the second she started talking about her idea for that, I was like, ‘Oh, we’re doing this, it’s gonna be great and it’s gonna be witty and it’s gonna be heartfelt.’ She’s such a fearless leader with ideas like that.”
