Sabrina Carpenter voices Trans rights at VMAs: Singer advocates for Drag Queens during her speech

Sabrina Carpenter didn’t have tears running down on stage at the VMAs, but her smile sparkled when she won Best Album, Best Pop Artist, and Best Visual Effects. The 26-year-old performed a whole choreography on her latest single from the album ‘Man’s Best Friend’ – and advocated for Trans Rights.While accepting the ‘Moon Man’ for the Best Album (Short n’ Sweet), Carpenter took the opportunity to thank the audience for listening to her songs. Furthermore, she shed light on the marginalised community, citing that the world is full of criticism, discrimination, and negativity. “So to get to be part of something that can bring light, make you smile, make you dance, and make you feel like the world is your f***ing oyster. I’m so grateful to do that,” she added in the speech, according to Deadline. Moreover, during her ‘Tears’ performance, Trans people and Drag Queens joined the pop star on the stage, dancing along her beats. As the performance concluded, the dancers took out their placards and displayed them in front of the crowd. Thanking her queens, the signs said, ‘In trans we trust,’ ‘Support drag,’ ‘Dolls, dolls, dolls,’ ‘Love each other,’ ‘If you hate, you’ll never get laid,’ ‘Protect trans rights,’ and many more.Elsewhere in the speech, Sabrina Carpenter jested at her previous albums. Expressing her gratitude, the singer mentioned that she doesn’t take the listeners and their time for granted. "If I’m lucky enough that that is my album, I am so grateful, whether that be Short n’ Sweet or whether that be Man’s Best Friend, my new album, or whether it be one of my 29 [albums] before that," she said in the speech, adding that she’s the luckiest girl in the world.
