A mother’s decision to cover her child’s eyes during Sabrina Carpenter’s provocative performance at the 2025 BRIT Awards has ignited a fierce debate about the event’s suitability for families. A website named BoredPanda has written a detailed story about it.
The 25-year-old pop star opened the show with a sultry medley of her hits “Espresso” and “Bed Chem”, performing on a heart-shaped bed alongside dancers in lingerie-inspired costumes. The explicit choreography shocked many parents, prompting a wave of criticism online.
One mother tweeted, “It used to be a family event,” capturing the frustration of viewers who felt the act was inappropriate for younger audiences. Another parent voiced concern, stating, “I had to explain to my 9-year-old why this is inappropriate.”
Despite the backlash, Carpenter’s fans defended her bold style, calling the performance confident and empowering. “She’s so freaky and beautiful, I love it,” one fan commented.
Unfazed by the criticism, Carpenter went on to win the Global Success Award and thanked her supporters with characteristic humor. The BRIT Awards have not yet responded to the controversy.
