This evening, September 11, at the UBS Arena, the singer was both a nominee and a performer.
Additionally, she was nominated for Best Pop, Best Direction, Best Editing, and Best Art Direction.
During her time on stage, Carpenter performed three singles from her latest album, “Short n’ Sweet.”
She then shared a steamy kiss with one of her backup dancers, who was dressed as an alien.
You can catch her entire performance and the unexpected kiss in the video below:
“She’s so iconic for this. She just did the newest version of Madonna x Britney’s moment.”
Another fan, referencing the kiss, joked, “If Sabrina Carpenter is into blue aliens like that, then do I have a movie suggestion for her,” likely referencing the film Avatar.
Sabrina Carpenter first gained significant attention as a star in the “Boy Meets World” spinoff, “Girl Meets World,” on the Disney Channel.
Her single ‘Espresso,’ released earlier this year, quickly captured the title of the internet’s song of the summer.
In a recent interview with The Guardian, Carpenter opened up about her sudden rise to fame and her experiences over this significant year.
She continued, “It’s not the reason I write music and it’s not the reason I’ll ever write music. It’s like the sprinkles on top of the sundae.
“There’s beautiful sides to this and there’s really dark, weird sides to all of it.
“You’re just gonna keep going regardless. I’ve been called a flop many times and here we are, so …”
