2024 VMAs: Sabrina Carpenter Showcases Romance During Steamy Performance—and Not With Barry Keoghan
lotradecoin review View Date:2024-12-25 22:32:09
Sabrina Carpenter got a taste of a sexy alien during the 2024 MTV VMAs.
While singing a medley of hits off her album Short N’ Sweet at the award show Sept. 11, the “Espresso” singer cheekily paid tribute to iconic Britney Spears moments from the VMAs.
After being introduced by Cyndi Lauper, Sabrina, clad in a white bodysuit encrusted with diamonds, kicked things off with “Please Please Please” while being lowered to the stage from a platform dangling in the air.
Before breaking into her song “Taste,” the 25-year-old—who dates Barry Keoghan—strutted to a backtrack of the bridge to Britney’s song “Oops!… I Did It Again” and welcomed two background dancers, an astronaut in a spacesuit and a blue alien in full large-eyed prosthetics and a short, sheer white dress.
During the performance of the song—which references a love triangle—the alien and astronaut began to fight, with Sabrina breaking them up by throwing the astronaut off the stage. After kicking him off, she turned to the alien and planted some steamy kisses on their lips, which may just be a not-so-subtle homage to Britney’s iconic kiss with Madonna at the 2003 VMAs.
However, after the make out, Sabrina also pushed the alien off the stage, before ending the medley with her breakout hit “Espresso,” for which she later won Song of the Year.
“This is really special,” Sabrina said in her acceptance speech. “The first people I want to thank are the fans. You guys are the reason that I get to do what I love, but also the reason we get to have so much fun and share music with each other and I just feel so grateful to have truly the best fans in the world. I love you.”
In addition to Song of the Year, she is nominated for five other awards, including Artist of the Year where she faces off against Ariana Grande, Bad Bunny, Eminem, SZA and Taylor Swift.
