Sabrina Carpenter’s BRIT Awards Performance Provokes Divided Reactions

The singer’s pre-watershed routine featuring suggestive choreography drew both praise and criticism from viewers.

Sabrina Carpenter performed a provocative medley of her hits 'Espresso' and 'Bed Chem' at the 2025 BRIT Awards, opening the show before the 9 p.m. watershed.
The performance, which included suggestive choreography and themes, sparked debate over its appropriateness for a family audience.
Some viewers praised the performance as creative and empowering, while others criticized it as overly sexualized and unsuitable for the time slot.
Carpenter responded humorously on Instagram, acknowledging the controversy and joking, 'I now know what watershed is!!!'.
The performance has led to potential complaints to Ofcom, with a report on audience feedback expected to be published on March 5.
