Madonna and Sabrina Carpenter won Best Collaboration at the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards for “Bring Your Love,” then performed the song during Madonna’s opening set. Accepting the award, Madonna said she waited five days for a connection through Carpenter’s team before sending Carpenter a direct message; Carpenter replied, and the pair soon met in the studio. Carpenter joked that her team was worried backstage and said she responds faster than her representatives. Madonna also described shared habits that helped them work together, while Carpenter expressed affection for her collaborator.
