Rae then praised Spears, a fellow Louisiana native, for the Princess of Pop’s big moments at the awards show: “My favorite VMAs looks of all time are probably every single time Britney came on and performed, but especially when she did ‘Satisfaction' [at the 2000 VMAs].”

Bridal-inspired looks seem to be a trend on the 2024 VMAs red carpet, asAnittaandSabrina Carpenterhave both appeared in white dresses.

“Diet Pepsi” was released last month, marking Rae’s second music drop of the year afterCharli xcx’s remix of “Von Dutch” with her and A.G. Cook came out in March.

In February, Rae toldPEOPLEshe’s “always in the studio” and teased that fans will “see what happens.”
