Sabrina Carpenter to Honor Dolly Parton With Nine to Five Inspired Performance at 2025 MTV VMAs
Sabrina Carpenter is set to light up the stage at this year’s MTV Video Music Awards with a performance that carries a nostalgic twist. The pop star is drawing inspiration from the 1980 classic Nine to Five, a film that cemented Dolly Parton’s place as both a music and cultural icon. Her routine is expected to mix modern pop energy with a playful nod to the movie’s style.
This year is already huge for Sabrina. She’s heading into the VMAs with eight nominations, a clear sign of how much momentum she has right now. At the show, she’ll premiere a medley that includes her hit single Manchild, the lead track from her upcoming album Man’s Best Friend, which drops later this month.
The Dolly Parton connection makes it more exciting. Sabrina recently teamed up with the country legend on a special version of her track Please, Please, Please. Their chemistry was so natural that Dolly even joked they could be related. That collaboration seems to have sparked the idea of paying tribute to Nine to Five, giving her VMA set both a fresh and nostalgic edge.
The 2025 MTV VMAs will take place on September 7 at the UBS Arena in Elmont, New York. For the first time, the ceremony will air not just on MTV but also live on CBS and Paramount+. The night will be hosted by LL Cool J, with special honors going to stars like Mariah Carey, Busta Rhymes, and Ricky Martin. Lady Gaga leads the nomination list with 12, while Sabrina ties with Rosé at eight.
Nigerian singer BNXN has made a claim online that has generated mixed reactions. The singer stated that living in Lagos is more expensive than living in Los Angeles, drawing from his personal experience in the United States.
Speaking about life abroad, BNXN explained that there are fewer financial obligations and requests for money compared to Nigeria, where people are often expected to support relatives and acquaintances.
“I was telling someone, since I got to the United States, I haven’t seen one egbon adugbo asking me to press money. Lagos is too expensive abeg. Lagos is more expensive than LA (Los Angeles),” BNXN stated.
It can be recalled that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has filed charges against Blessing CEO over an alleged ₦13 million fraud case.
The case is reportedly linked to claims that the influencer obtained ₦13 million through an alleged cancer-related fundraising scheme.
It can also be recalled that Blessing CEO previously claimed she was battling Stage 4 breast cancer, a revelation that drew sympathy from many people and reportedly led to financial support from members of the public.
While investigations are still ongoing, the influencer remains innocent until proven guilty by a court of law.
Nigerian fashion designer Veekee James celebrated her 31st birthday and shared pictures on social media with her daughter.
The influencer spoke about how her life has changed and described motherhood as the greatest gift she has received.
“A year older, but the greatest gift isn’t the age… It’s the title I earned this year: MOTHER! This birthday hits differently because my heart now beats outside my body.”
“Before this year, birthdays were about me. Now, they’re a reminder of the little soul who made me a mom and changed my life forever.”
