Sabrina Carpenter's 'Espresso' Wins Song of the Year at 2024 MTV VMAs

The 2024 MTV Video Music Awards took place at UBS Arena in New York

Sabrina Carpenter has won her first-ever VMA!

Carpenter, 25, scored big at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards at UBS Arena in New York on Wednesday, Sept. 11 when she took home the award for her hit song "Espresso."

"I've literally never won one of these," she began her acceptance speech. "This is really special."

"The first people I want to thank are the fans," Carpenter said before she was met by a round of applause, and joked: "If you clap after everything I say they're gonna, they're gonna call me off the stage, so one second."

"But I just want to say you guys are the reason that I get to do what I love, but also the reason that we get to have so much fun and share music with each other," she added. "And I just feel so grateful to have the best, truly the best, fans in the world. I know it sounds cheesy, but I love you."

As she concluded her speech, she thanked her managers, her family, her "cats and dogs that are at home watching," as well as the people who made "Espresso" with her, including songwriters Steph Jones, Amy Allen, and Julian Bunetta. "I just, I love you guys so much. I love making music with you, and I can't wait to share more with the world."

Carpenter delivered a cheeky sign-off to her monologue by thanking the much-discussed lyric: "And thank you to that's that me espresso."

The "Fast Times" performer, 25, released her pop hit "Espresso" in April as a single from her sixth and latest studio album Short n’ Sweet. The song peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100, while the album spent two weeks atop the Billboard Hot 200 chart after being released in August.

The singer is nominated for six awards at the ceremony, including artist of the year, best pop song and song of the summer. Last year, she performed a mash-up of her two songs "Nonsense" and "Feather" at the 2023 VMAs preshow.

In June, the Disney alum poked fun at "Espresso" eclipsing her previous single on the global Spotify chart, writing on X (formerly Twitter), "This bitch.”

Carpenter has skyrocketed to fame over the last year, having opened for her friend Taylor Swift throughout the pop star's Eras Tour.

The 2024 MTV VMAs air on Sept. 11 at 8 p.m. ET/ PT live from the UBS Arena in New York.
