Last night’s MTV Video Music Awards were a real showstopper, with Sabrina Carpenter dazzling on stage. But when it comes to the ultimate seal of approval, it looks like Britney Spears has stepped in with her own flair for drama.
- Sabrina Carpenter performed at the VMAs
- She kissed an alien on stage
- Britney Spears has weighed in
Britney was shocked
It truly was an... interesting... way to do a show... let's just say that. Here is the video in case you didn't see it:
Britney, who’s been enjoying a well-deserved break from the spotlight (unless you count her occasional Instagram antics), watched Sabrina Carpenter’s high-energy VMA performance and decided to weigh in. And weigh in she did—like a judge on "So You Think You Can Dance," but with more glitter and less professional critique.
“Why is she kissing an alien onstage?” Spears said in the video. “I love her. I adore her to death [but] I didn’t understand that part. Why didn’t she kiss a girl? That was weird.”
In true Britney fashion, she took to social media to express her excitement, giving Sabrina’s performance an enthusiastic nod. She wasn’t just impressed; she was practically doing the robot in her living room. Britney’s reaction? Let’s just say it was full of the kind of energy that screams “I may be on a break, but my inner pop star is always on.”
Britney praised Sabrina with all the excitement of someone who just found out their favorite snack is on sale. She might have even thrown in a few classic Spears emojis for good measure—those cheeky little icons that convey more than words ever could.
“This Sabrina girl, she said my name on the red carpet and I thought that was kind of cool,” Spears said. “Because I forget I’m famous sometimes … but that was kind of cool. This Sabrina girl, Carpenter, she said something about me and I was like, ‘Thanks! That’s cool!’ She made me cool.”
During Carpenter’s performance, the singer appeared to pay homage to Spears by playing a snippet from her song “Oops!…I Did It Again” during the transition from “Please Please Please” to “Taste.” While performing “Taste,” Carpenter also adopted a space theme similar to Spears’ music video for “Oops!”
In a classic twist of Britney’s signature humor, she couldn’t resist adding a playful jab about her own past performances. “I’m pretty sure I was on the stage at one point, but Sabrina made it look like I was just practicing in my backyard,” she quipped. It’s clear Britney’s still got it when it comes to self-deprecating humor and genuine admiration.

Fans were thrilled to see Britney’s support for Sabrina, proving once again that while Britney’s social media game might be unpredictable, her love for fellow artists is always spot-on.
So, if you’re wondering what Britney’s up to these days, just know she’s probably somewhere still jamming out to last night’s VMA performances and making everyone around her question why they’re not also dancing.
