Bacon reworked the track, which comes from her latest album ‘Man’s Best Friend‘, earlier this week, dedicating his version to the pigs on his farm.
In a video posted to Instagram, the actor played guitar while surrounded by pigs, singing: “Now I’m at the prospect convention / My friend looks in your friend’s direction / Said, ‘I’m Bacon, you must be Kevin,’ / And I was like, ‘Huh.‘”
He then continues into the chorus: “I did a double take, triple take / Take me to pigs in the blanket, back in the farm. / Piggy, piggy, you’re thickening the plot. When did you get hot?”
Now, Carpenter has reacted, sharing the video on her own Instagram, saying: “least expected but best cover of the year award!!” She also left a comment under his video, writing, “The vibes on the farm are immaculate.”
In other news, Carpenter is set to host Saturday Night Live for the first time ever.

The pop star will pull double duty on the third episode of the iconic show’s 51st season on October 18. It will be the first time she has hosted, but she was previously a musical guest on season 49. She was also part of the show’s 50th anniversary celebrations back in February, at one point appearing in a sketch where she sang an off-key version of ‘Espresso’.
Meanwhile, Carpenter was also announced as one of the headliners of next year’s Coachella alongside Justin Bieber and Karol G. After days of speculation, she was confirmed to be closing out the Friday night of both weekends at the desert music festival.
As for upcoming live dates, she is gearing up for the second North American leg of the ‘Short n’ Sweet’ tour in late October, which will mark her first time back on the road since sharing the latest record, ‘Man’s Best Friend’.
It scored a four-star review from NME, with Nick Levine writing: “Musically, this album isn’t markedly different from its predecessor, though it has a few more country-leaning cuts sprinkled among the daytime disco and featherlight funk.
“It also sticks to Carpenter’s winning formula of pairing sticky melodies with pithy lyrics about the flaws and allure of inadequate males. If there were a Bechdel Test for pop albums, ‘Man’s Best Friend’ wouldn’t be in danger of passing it.”
Meanwhile, Carpenter recently joked that her label “really didn’t give a fuck” about her after learning there were only 200 copies of her debut album made for vinyl.
