Sabrina Carpenter dominates VMAs 2025 with Best Album win
Sabrina Carpenter dominated this year’s MTV VMAs as she won the Best Album award on Sunday.
The 26-year-old singer, who received the trophy for her Short n’ Sweet album, delivered a heartfelt speech while accepting the award.
Calling herself the “luckiest girl” in the world, Sabrina said, “Hello. Oh my goodness. There’s so many people here.”
“Well, thank you VMAs for this. This is my second moon man, which feels so crazy,” she continued. “I really 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.”
“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,” quipped the beautiful songstress.
The Expresso hitmaker further said, “I’m just the luckiest girl in the world, and I do want to say to my incredible cast and dancers and my queens on stage. And my queens on stage with me tonight.”
Addressing how often the world can be “full of criticism” for her work, the Please Please Please songstress said, “This world, as we all know, can be so full of criticism and discrimination and negativity.”
“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,” she added.
“So thanks, everyone here. But most importantly, my fans are 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,” said Sabrina.
Concluding the speech, the musician said, “So thanks for letting me be in this room with you. I love you all very much.”

Ice Spice slapped at McDonald’s by fan: Here’s what actually happened
American rapper Ice Spice got involved in a physical altercation at McDonald’s when a female fan approached her table and slapped her.
The incident reported by TMZ took place on Wednesday, April 15, when the 26-year-old was enjoying a meal with a friend.
The female fan approached their booth and tried to squeeze in next to the rapper’s companion.
When both of them asked her to leave, she became frustrated and hit Ice Spice.
The fight began inside the restaurant but quickly moved outside, where more video footage reveals the aggressor delivering a second punch. Both women fell to the ground during the brawl on the street.
Bradford Cohen, legal counsel for Ice Spice, issued a statement referring to the attack as an “unprovoked attack” that was reported to the LAPD.
Cohen clarified: “We will be pursuing any and all avenues to hold the perpetrators responsible for their actions, including criminally and civilly. We are also exploring holding the location responsible for their lack of appropriate security.”
The attacker is identified as Vayah, who told a different story. She said that Ice Spice behaved rudely and called her a “bit*h” when she tried to show her “some love.”
The video of the incident revealed that the rapper picked up the fan’s phone and threw it out of the restaurant.
For now, nobody has been arrested by the LAPD.

Duchess Sophie says ‘peace is the only option’ in tribute to Sudan victims
Duchess Sophie marked the third anniversary of the war in Sudan with a deeply focused visit to the headquarters of Plan International in London.
She joined youth advocates and government representatives to highlight world’s worst humanitarian crisis.
As patron of the children’s charity, the Duchess took part in a roundtable discussion examining the devastating impact the conflict has had on civilians.
Speaking during the event, she described Sudan as experiencing “the most horrendous human cost on the planet.”

Despite her experience speaking to women affected by conflict globally, the accounts emerging from Sudan stood out as some of the most distressing she has encountered.
She went on to stress the importance of sustained attention and international responsibility, saying, “No human should ever have to encounter such devastation and violence.
We must not forget them and I will keep raising my voice where and when I can.”
During the Plan International gathering, Sophie also added a handwritten message to a “tree of reflection,” writing: “Peace is the only option. The people of Sudan are not forgotten.”

Prince Michael of Kent makes rare appearance at Submariners’ London reception
Prince Michael of Kent hosted submariners for a formal dinner in London on Friday to recognise the growing contribution of reservists in front-line underwater operations.
The gathering took place at the historic Naval and Military Club known as the “In and Out Club,” where members of the Royal Navy Reserve Submarine Operations Specialisation joined senior naval officers for a special reception and dinner.
As Commodore-in-Chief Maritime Reserves, Prince Michael met personnel from the submarine reserve community and was briefed on recent achievements.
The event shows how modern training pathways are enabling reservists to step into demanding operational environments.
One of the key examples discussed was last year’s Operation Highmast carrier strike group deployment, during which a Submarine Operations reservist served aboard HMS Prince of Wales as part of the Submarine Advisory Team.
Their role supported underwater warfare coordination, ensuring smooth integration between surface and submarine operations during the task group’s return from the Pacific.
