The 2025 MTV VMAs took place last night (September 7) at the UBS Arena in Long Island. A highly anticipated moment of the entire awards show was Sabrina Carpenter’s performance, which lived up to fans’ expectations.
For her performance, she played ‘Tears’, taken off her latest album ‘Man’s Best Friend’. The performance saw the singer appear from underneath a manhole cover to join a slew of drag and trans performers and other dancers onstage.
Throughout the performance, dancers in the background held up hand-drawn signs that read “Protect Trans Rights”, “In Trans We Trust”, “Support Local Drag”, “Love Each Other” and “If You Hate You’ll Never Get Laid” among others. Later on, Carpenter ditched her shimmery top for a dance break that saw sprinklers rain down on her and her dancers, a la Flashdance. (NME)
