Sabrina Carpenter’s Controversial Brit Awards Performance

Sabrina Carpenter’s performance at the 2025 Brit Awards has stirred controversy due to its perceived provocative nature. Dressed in a red lingerie ensemble, Carpenter performed her hit songs “Bed Chem” and “Espresso” before the 9 p.m. watershed, leading to calls for complaints to the UK broadcasting regulator, Ofcom. Viewers criticized the performance, labeling it as “cheap and tacky,” and unsuitable for early evening viewing. Some described it as “soft porn,” sparking debate over its appropriateness. However, other fans defended the performance, applauding its fun and energetic nature. Despite the mixed reactions, Carpenter won the Global Success award at the show and reacted to the controversy with humor on social media. Ofcom plans to publish a complaint report, which will document the performance if they receive over 50 grievances.
