BEST ALBUM
Winner: Short n’ Sweet by Sabrina Carpenter
This year’s VMA for Best Album is one of the most competitive ever. The nominees are Bad Bunny’s Debí Tirar Más Fotos, Kendrick Lamar’s GNX, Lady Gaga’s Mayhem, Morgan Wallen’s I’m the Problem, Sabrina Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet, and The Weeknd’s Hurry Up Tomorrow. All these albums secured massive success, topping global charts and amassing billions of streams.
Our pick for the winner is Short n’ Sweet by Sabrina Carpenter. The LP features several tracks that defined the past year and a half, including chart-topping hits like “Espresso,” “Please Please Please,” and “Taste.” The album’s impact was further solidified earlier this year, when a deluxe edition featuring the smash hit “Busy Woman” was released.
