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, styled
by

Jared
Ellner
in
a
custom
Victoria’s
Secret
bodysuit
adorned
with
over
18,500
crystal
beads,
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.
