“DOLLS, DOLLS, DOLLS!”<\/p>\n
Sabrina Carpenter<\/a> transformed her 2025 VMAs performance into a fierce celebration of queerness, featuring drag icons and a rallying cry to protect trans lives.<\/p>\n On 7 September, Drag Race<\/em><\/a> stars including Denali, Lexi Love, Laganja Estranja, Symone and Willam \u2014 alongside ballroom legends Honey Balenciaga and Malik Brehon \u2014 joined Carpenter for a performance of her disco-pop hit \u2018Tears\u2019.<\/p>\n After emerging from a sewage vent to open the song, she delivered pitch-perfect vocals, a fierce costume reveal and rain-filled choreography, before the stage flooded with entertainers holding signs that read \u201cIn Trust We Trust,\u201d \u201cDolls Dolls Dolls,\u201d \u201cLove Each Other,\u201d \u201cSupport Local Drag\u201d, \u201cProtect Trans Rights\u201d and more.<\/p>\n It echoed the critically-acclaimed music video for \u2018Tears\u2019<\/a>, a camp homage to The Rocky Horror Picture Show<\/em> starring Academy Award nominee Colman Domingo in full drag as Dr. Frank-N-Furter.<\/p>\n Following the performance, Logo TV and RuPaul\u2019s Drag Race<\/em> shared a joint Instagram post of the drag entertainers proudly displaying their signs backstage, praising Carpenter for \u201cmaking a statement at the VMAs\u201d and adding: \u201cProtect the dolls. Defend drag. ALWAYS.\u201d<\/p>\n Between advocating for trans rights in a volatile political climate and raising over a million dollars for mental health, animal welfare and LGBTQIA+ causes, Carpenter has firmly cemented her place as one of pop\u2019s most powerful allies.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n A post shared by Logo (@logotv)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
