How Dax Shepard Explained Sabrina Carpenter’s ‘Juno’ to His 10-Year-Old

Dax Shepard shared a relatable conversation he had with his 10-year-old daughter about Sabrina Carpenter’s music

While Shepard likes Carpenter’s single “Espresso,” including her famous lyric, “I’m working late, ‘cause I’m a singer,” Delta has a preference for the song “Juno.” Shepard said he clarified to his daughter that the titular character in the 2007 film Juno(played by Elliot Page) is “a teenager” who was still “in high school” when she got pregnant. Songwriter Amy Allen, who has collaborated with Carpenter on her albums Short n’ Sweet(2024) and Emails I Can’t Send(2022), confirmed exclusively to Us Weekly last year that “Juno” was, in fact, inspired by the teen-pregnancy movie of the same name.
