BRITs: Sabrina Carpenter dedicates first BRIT to UK fans: 'This is insane!'
Sabrina Carpenter dedicated her first BRIT Award to her UK fans at the BRIT Awards 2025 with Mastercard. The 25-year-old pop star has enjoyed a meteoric rise since the release of her track 'Espresso'; in 2024 and was handed the Global Success Award on Saturday (01.03.25) evening's ceremony but joked that it was such a big honour since the UK is a "primarily tea-drinking" country. Speaking live on stage at the O2 Arena in London, she said: "Hello! How are you guys? The first time I ever came to the UK was 10 years ago. I was with my mom and nobody knew who I was. "Maybe 10 people. But all I kept thinking about one day how exciting it would feel if anyone in the UK knew my music and now this week, I get to headline the O2 because of you guys. "And the BRITs have given this award, which feels like such an insane honour. In a very primarily tea-drinking country, you guys stream the s*** out of 'Espresso' and you streamed 'Short n Sweet' and you really understood my dry sense of humour because your sense of humour is so, so dry." Sabrina was presented the award by 'Stranger Things' star Millie Bobby Brown, and Diana Ross had sent in a pre-recorded message to acknowledge the accolade as well. The 'Please Please Please' songstress had released five albums before 'Short n Sweet' took off, and started her career on the Disney Channel before that so insisted that her award was for all those who had supported her from the beginning. She said: "So I love y'all more than you even understand. I wanna thank Island, I wanna thank Polydor, I wanna thank Universal, I wanna thank my incredible hard-working team that never sleeps. "I wanna thank my family, my sisters, my friends. "Most importantly, I wanna thank the fans, the ones who have followed me since the beginning. I love you so much, this is all because of you and this is for you. Thank you so much. Cheerio!"

Sabrina Carpenter's 6-Word Response To Brits Performance Controversy
Sabrina Carpenter took home the Global Success Award at the Brit Awards on Saturday. She also performed at the event, opening the ceremony with a Rule Britannia/Espresso mash-up (it sounded a lot better than you might think). During the act, the singer suggestively crouched down to a backup dancer's waist with her mic in her hand, while the dancer, dressed as a Beefeater, looked at the camera and winked. That controversial moment from the famously flirty singer led to some furore online ― as an X user wrote, 'she had two minutes and singlehandedly triggered boomers'. she had two minutes and singlehandedly triggered boomers lol thats my girl #BRITs# — sangyifan brainrot (@sprinkleflakes) March 1, 2025 Another wrote: 'Ofcom is gonna be getting lots of complaints tonight #BRITs2025.' Ofcom is gonna be getting lots of complaints tonight 😂 # — Charlie Watts (@char1iewatts) March 1, 2025 Sabrina has since written an Instagram post about the performance, sharing six words in response to criticism online. One X post, for example, suggested she was 'oversexualising herself'. sabrina oversexualising herself to compensate for her beyond mediocre music — ْ (@fleabaghs) March 2, 2025 'I now know what watershed is!!!!' she joked in a caption above a picture of her red carpet outfit. The watershed refers to the time of day when TV programmes which might be unsuitable for children can be broadcast – in the UK, it's 9pm. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sabrina Carpenter (@sabrinacarpenter) During her Global Success Award acceptance speech at the ceremony, the Espresso singer expressed her love for her British fans. 'The first time I ever came to the UK was 10 years ago with my mum, and nobody knew who I was,' she said, adding that she's grateful for all her current UK fans. 'In a very primarily tea-drinking culture, you streamed the shit out of Espresso,' she added jokily, before signing off: 'Cheerio!' Speaking of the watershed, Sabrina's was far from the only controversial moment of the night. Comedian Danny Dyer was bleeped multiple times. The Eastenders star introduced a video message from singer and winner of two Brit Awards, Chappell Roan, as the artist couldn't attend the event in person. Speaking to The Mirror, a source claimed that Danny's bleeped comment was about the singer's absence. Reportedly, the Eastenders star said: 'She couldn't be f****d to be here.'
