Keir Starmer's Downing Street tour video sparks debate over Sabrina Carpenter's racy track

A TikTok video featuring Sir Keir Starmer giving world leaders a tour of No 10 Downing Street has sparked attention. The clip, set to Sabrina Carpenter’s song House Tour, includes appearances by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and French President Emmanuel Macron.

The video was created by a TikTok adviser working for the Prime Minister. It shows Starmer guiding von der Leyen and Macron through the famous residence. The choice of background music, however, has drawn extra notice.

Sabrina Carpenter’s *House Tour* contains lyrics with clear sexual innuendo. Lines like *‘I could take you to the first, second, third floor’* and *‘I just want you to come inside’* run throughout the track. Critics have labelled the song Carpenter’s most provocative release yet.

The video remains online, pairing a formal political moment with a song known for its suggestive lyrics. The contrast between the setting and the music has made the clip stand out. No official comment has been made about the choice of track.
