Sabrina Carpenter to draw inspiration from classic US music legend film for MTV VMA’s performance
Sabrina Carpenter is gearing up to deliver a spectacular performance at the upcoming MTV Video Music Awards, drawing inspiration from the iconic 1980 film Nine to Five starring Dolly Parton, Jane Fonda, and Lily Tomlin. Known for her hit track Please, Please, Please, Sabrina has enlisted the help of her favorite choreographers to create a routine that pays tribute to the classic movie.
A source close to Sabrina shared that the talented singer is planning to incorporate elements from the film into her performance at the awards ceremony, where she intends to showcase a medley of songs as a culmination of her successful year filled with chart-topping hits. Sabrina’s admiration for Dolly Parton is evident, especially after the country legend made a cameo appearance in the music video for Please, Please, Please, joining forces with Sabrina to create a memorable collaboration.
In a surprising revelation, Dolly Parton mentioned the uncanny similarity in their voices, jokingly stating at times she can’t distinguish between her own voice and Sabrina’s. Both standing at 5ft tall with cheerful blonde locks, the duo also share a striking resemblance, prompting Dolly to affirm that Sabrina could pass off as her little sister. Emphasizing their shared ambition as petite women making significant strides in their respective careers, Dolly humorously remarked, “We’re little women doing big things.”
As Sabrina gears up for the prestigious VMAs where she boasts eight nominations, fans eagerly anticipate her performance at the UBS Arena in Elmont, New York, on September 7. With the potential to secure the coveted Video of the Year award for her song Manchild from the upcoming album Man’s Best Friend, set for release next Friday, Sabrina continues to delight her 48.6 million Instagram followers with teasers of her latest tracks, such as Tears filmed against a picturesque backdrop reminiscent of a movie set.
In a separate development, British singer Raye has left fans speculating about the details of her upcoming track, hinting at a potential release date through cryptic messages imprinted on her merchandise. Building on the success of her album My 21st Century Blues, which garnered her six Brit Awards in 2024, Raye’s formidable talent continues to captivate audiences as she navigates the pressures of producing new music that meets the high expectations set by her previous successes.
Further, Coldplay’s frontman, Chris Martin, recently made headlines for fulfilling the dream of an autistic fan during the band’s electrifying performance at Wembley Stadium. Displaying kindness and warmth, Chris invited the fan on stage, embracing him and granting his request to sing alongside the band, making the evening unforgettable for both the fan and the audience.
Across the entertainment landscape, stars like Samira Mighty and Dua Lipa are seizing opportunities to explore diverse career paths, from music to acting, showcasing their versatility and passion for their craft. As Sabrina Carpenter, Raye, Coldplay, and other luminaries shine on stage, their dedication and creativity continue to inspire fans around the globe.
