    Sabrina Carpenter dedicated her first BRIT Award to her UK fans at the BRIT Awards 2025 with Mastercard

    The 25-year-old pop star has enjoyed a meteoric rise since the release of her track 'Espresso' in 2024 and was handed the Global Success Award at Saturday (01.03.25) evening's ceremony but joked that it was such a big honour since the UK is a "primarily tea-drinking" country


    Speaking live on stage at the O2 Arena in London, she said: "Hello! How are you guys? The first time I ever came to the UK was 10 years ago. I was with my mom and nobody knew who I was.

    "Maybe 10 people. But all I kept thinking about one day how exciting it would feel if anyone in the UK knew my music and now this week, I get to headline the O2 because of you guys.

    "And the BRITs have given this award, which feels like such an insane honour. In a very primarily tea-drinking country, you guys stream the s*** out of 'Espresso' and you streamed 'Short n Sweet' and you really understood my dry sense of humour because your sense of humour is so, so dry."

    Sabrina was presented the award by 'Stranger Things' star Millie Bobby Brown, and Diana Ross had sent in a pre-recorded message to acknowledge the accolade as well.

    The 'Please Please Please' songstress had released five albums before 'Short n Sweet' took off, and started her career on the Disney Channel before that so insisted that her award was for all those who had supported her from the beginning.

    She said: "So I love y'all more than you even understand. I wanna thank Island, I wanna thank Polydor, I wanna thank Universal, I wanna thank my incredible hard-working team that never sleeps.

    "I wanna thank my family, my sisters, my friends.

    "Most importantly, I wanna thank the fans, the ones who have followed me since the beginning. I love you so much, this is all because of you and this is for you. Thank you so much. Cheerio!"
