\"Sabrina<\/p>\n

Memorable moments from the 2025 Video Music Awards<\/p>\n

1:00 <\/p>\n

\n Sabrina Carpenter\u2019s performance Sunday night at the MTV Video Music Awards seemed meant to inspire both dancing and resistance.\n <\/p>\n

\n The petite powerhouse performed her new song, \u201cTears<\/a>,\u201d with backup support from drag performers made famous by the reality series \u201cDrag Race,\u201d as well as dancers dressed as police officers.\n <\/p>\n

\n One of the drag performers, Honey Balenciaga, was recently featured on Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s Cowboy Carter tour.\n <\/p>\n

\n Carpenter, who started out in what appeared to be a silver, sparkly, fringe dress before a quick costume change, delivered an energetic performance that also contained a message.\n <\/p>\n

\n Some of those on stage with her held signs with messages that read, \u201cIn Trans We Trust\u201d and \u201cProtect Trans Rights.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n It comes at a time when many in the trans community are raising concerns about state and national legislative efforts to limit gender identity care<\/a>.\n <\/p>\n

\n Carpenter is a well known ally to the LGBTQIA+ community and her performance Sunday night felt inspired by the music video for \u201cTears.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n Emmy-winning actor Colman Domingo appears in drag in that video<\/a>, which pays homage to the classic, campy film \u201cThe Rocky Horror Picture Show.\u201d\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Facebook Tweet Email Link Memorable moments from the 2025 Video Music Awards Memorable moments from the 2025 Video…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":129052,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[49,48,75,341],"class_list":["post-129051","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-entertainment","tag-music"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129051","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=129051"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129051\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/129052"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=129051"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=129051"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=129051"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
