Britney Spears has garnered immense support from her former husband Sam Asghari after their divorce.
The Toxic singer took to her Instagram account to share the reaction video to Sabrina Carpenterâs 2024 MTV Video Music Awards performance on Thursday, September 12.
To mock Spears, the social media influencer Michael Pavano dropped an insulting reenactment of Spearsâ now-deleted post.
Sam remarked, âNot cool,â Asghari wrote, reflecting the view of many social media users who commented the likes of, âYour [sic] mean,â and, âPoor woman âŠ. leave her alone.â
Carpenter, 25, answered numerous questions from Spears in the original video before performing a space-themed combination of her songs Espresso, Please Please Please, and Taste at the VMAs.
During the medley, Carpenter seemed to honour Spears by playing a brief passage from her song Oops! I Did It Again as Please Please Please gave way to Taste.
Carpenter also used a space motif for Taste, emulating Spears' Oops! music video.
After admitting that she didnât watch the awards ceremony, she did catch clips from the event on YouTube.
âWhy is she kissing an alien onstage?â Spears said in the original video. âI love her. I adore her to death [but] I didnât understand that part. Why didnât she kiss a girl? That was weird.â
âThis Sabrina girl, she said my name on the red carpet and I thought that was kind of cool,â Spears said, adding, âBecause I forget Iâm famous sometimes ⊠but that was kind of cool. This Sabrina girl, Carpenter, she said something about me and I was like, âThanks! Thatâs cool!â She made me cool.â
Notably, Sam Asghari and Britney Spears tied the knot in June 2022 and filed to divorce her in August 2023, their coupleâs divorce was finalized in May 2024.
