Sabrina Carpenter delivered a cheeky medley of her chart-topping hits – “Please Please Please,” “Taste” and “Espresso,” which peak at No. 3, No. 4 and No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 – at the 2024 MTV VMAs on Tuesday.

Cyndi Lauper introduced Carpenter, praising the singer as a “wonderful songwriter” and ended her speech by asking the crowd to “prepare to hear the whole room say”asshole!'” Carpenter then began her VMA debut on stage – appropriately, she began with “Please Please Please” on a glittering silver swing that hovered above the audience in the auditorium.

After saying that infamous line, Carpenter hit the runway and transitioned into “Taste,” even recreating the make-out scene from the song’s music video with actors Jenna Ortega and Rohan Campbell—but replacing it with an alien and an astronaut.

Carpenter is nominated for seven awards at this year’s show, including Artist of the Year and Song of the Year for “Espresso.” Her other nominations include Best Pop, Best Director for “Please, Please, Please” and Best Editing for “Espresso.”

Shortly after her visit to the VMAs, Carpenter will embark on her “Short n’ Sweet” tour, which kicks off in Columbus, Ohio on September 23. The tour will visit 33 arenas across the US, including Madison Square Garden in New York and the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, before heading to the UK in 2025.

In a recent diversity In an interview, Carpenter described her album “Short n’ Sweet” as “the hot older sister” to her fifth studio album, “Emails I Can’t Send,” adding, “It’s my second ‘big girl’ album; it’s a companion, but it’s not the same. In terms of having full creative control and being a full-fledged adult, I would consider this a second album.”

In June, Carpenter made Hot 100 history when “Please, Please, Please” and “Espresso” debuted at No. 2 and No. 3, respectively. This would be the first time in the 66-year history of the Billboard charts that a solo artist had two Top 100 hits at the same time.
