Carpenter's performance comes after a fairly successful summer for the artist. “Espresso” and “Please Please Please” were both in contention for our 2024 “Song of the Summer,” and she's currently gearing up for a 33-date North American headlining tour — the “Short n' Sweet Tour” (get tickets) here) In fact, it was such a crazy few months for Carpenter that he is said to have had the unique experience of achieving immense popularity so quickly with Chappell Roan.
Though this is only her first nomination, Carpenter racked up no fewer than six VMA nominations at this year's ceremony, including Artist of the Year, Song of the Year (“Espresso”), Best Pop, Best Direction (“Please Please Please”), Best Editing (“Espresso”) and Best Art Direction (“Please Please Please”).
