Carpenter had already been named as the recipient of the Global Success Award going into the ceremony, and was also nominated for two further prizes for International Artist Of The Year and International Song Of The Year for ‘Espresso’, but lost out to Chappell Roan for both.

Her set last night (March 1) opened with a version of 2024 megahit ‘Espresso’, where the singer was joined by a troop of dancing King’s Guards, with the pop singer incorporating strains of ‘Rule Britannia’ into the track. “Hello Brits!” she declared as she descended the steps onto The O2 stage.

From there, she segued into a seductive performance of ‘Bed Chem’, dancing on a giant pink bed, alongside a team of backing dancers with their own boudoirs. One choice moment that has proved controversial saw her kneel in front of a male dancer, who winked at the camera as she disappeared offscreen.

She kicked off the night before the 9pm watershed, sparking social media debate about how appropriate the performance was. Some, like one user on X/Twitter who called it “iconic”, saw the funny side.
