And MailOnline had VIP seats to watch the American singer’s jaw-dropping performance, including the moment she got down on her knees in front of a ‘King’s Guard’.
The set’s finale was so saucy it had to be edited for the ITV broadcast, with the camera focusing on the soldier winking, instead of Sabrina’s suggestive position, which shocked the crowd inside the arena.
MailOnline also caught the moment Sabrina sprinted off stage to make a very speedy costume change halfway through her controversial set.
Sabrina had to dash backstage to strip off her red sparkly military-style blazer dress, which was in homage to Britain.
She belted out her hit Espresso in the dazzling number which was complete with sexy stockings and towering heels before running backstage between songs to slip into racy lingerie.
Turning up the heat for her performance, Sabrina was seen stripping off her blazer dress while a crew member helped her unzip the number and slip into her next costume before breaking out into Bed Chem.
The former Disney star was raised up through a platform on the stage as she sang the hit on her knees surrounded by lingerie-clad dancers.
The performance went down a storm inside the arena, with MailOnline spotting the star-studded crowd, which included the likes of Jade Thirlwall and Maya Jama, up from their seats and dancing along to the anticipated set.

But after being aired by ITV pre-watershed, there was an outraged reaction from viewers at home. Some vowed to immediately contact ITV and Ofcom.
The jaw dropping performance appeared to come close to breaking the Broadcasting Code’s 9pm watershed rules and left some viewers in shock with one father saying he was ‘fuming’.
‘Unsuitable material’ should not be shown before 9pm and ‘can include everything from sexual content to violence, graphic or distressing imagery and swearing’, according to Ofcom.
One mother said her 11-year-old daughter is ‘obsessed’ with Carpenter ‘and I explained to her whilst watching this performance that this is why I’m not taking her to the concert’.
‘Sorry not a good idea to open up with before 9pm! It’s still family time, very inappropriate,’ one viewer wrote on X.
Another said: ‘As a dad of 11 and 13 year old girls I am fuming that this was the opening scenes of #BRITs2025.’
Meanwhile, others warned that not everyone may be a fan of the pre-watershed performance.
‘This performance before the 9pm watershed? oh Sabrina, I love you x some parents will end up complaining though let’s face it #BRITs.’
‘Ofcom after Sabrina’s Brits performance #BRITs #sabrinacapenter’;
‘Me cheering on Sabrina to be even more filthy and promiscuous to make all the Facebook mums complain more #BRITs’;
Ofcom did not confirm to MailOnline whether it has received any complaints about the performance, instead saying it would be in its published report on Wednesday if there were more than 50.
ITV has also been contacted for comment.
