Carpenter began with "Please Please Please" and did, in fact, deliver one of the song's memorable lines: "I beg you, don't embarrass me, motherfucker." After that, she did "Taste" and kissed an alien. Surrounded by astronauts, she finished up with "Espresso."

Carpenter got her first-ever nominations for this year's Video Music Awards, too. She was recognized in the following categories: Artist of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Pop, Best Direction, Best Editing, Best Art Direction, and Song of the Summer.
