Sept. 8 (UPI) -- Pop stars Sabrina Carpenter and Lady Gaga were among the singers to perform at the MTV Video Music Awards Sunday.

Carpenter, 26, rose through a manhole cover reading "Sabrina" to take the stage and performed her song "Tears," which appears on her recent album Man's Best Friend.

The song included a "dance break" as water rained down onto the stage like rain. The singer was joined by several RuPaul's Drag Race stars, including Denali, Willam, Symone, Laganja Estranja and Lexi Love.

Her album Short n' Sweet won Album of the Year.

Lady Gaga, 39, gave a prerecorded performance of "Abracadabra" and "The Dead Dance." The latter song appears on the soundtrack for Netflix's Wednesday Season 2, which features the singer and actress.
