Sabrina Carpenter was a standout at this year’s MTV VMAs, winning the Best Album award on Sunday for her album ‘Short n’ Sweet.’ During her acceptance speech, the 26-year-old singer delivered a heartfelt message.
Calling herself the “luckiest girl” in the world, Sabrina began, “Hello. Oh my goodness. There’s so many people here.” She continued, “Thank you VMAs for this. This is my second Moon Person, which feels so crazy. I truly don’t take for granted when you guys take the time out of your lives to listen to an album, and if I’m lucky enough that that is my album.”
The singer then playfully added, “Whether that be ‘Short n’ Sweet,’ this album, or whether that be ‘Man’s Best Friend,’ my new album, or whether it be one of my 29 before that.”
The ‘Expresso’ hitmaker went on to say, “I’m just the luckiest girl in the world, and I do want to say thank you to my incredible cast and dancers and my queens on stage with me tonight.” Addressing the negativity she often faces, the ‘Please Please Please’ singer said, “This world, as we all know, can be so full of criticism and discrimination and negativity.”
She added, “So to get to be a part of something so often, more than not, that is something that can bring you light, make you smile, make you dance and make you feel like the world is your f—— oyster, I am so grateful, so grateful to do that.”
Sabrina concluded her speech by saying, “Thanks, everyone here. But most importantly, my fans have just, you’ve been there for me. So thank you. And the last thing I’ll say is every artist here tonight that is nominated, that’s performing, that is just standing here looking amazing, you all mean so much to me and have inspired me so much. Thanks for letting me be in this room with you. I love you all very much.”
