For more context, ONCEs also know how much Sabrina loves Carpenter TWICE. This can be seen on her previous cover of Candy Pop during the artist’s Japan tour in 2018. With someone like her honoring her historic award TWICE, ONCE couldn’t be happier.
The singer then presented the award to TWICE and called them onto the stage. Member Chaeyoung took the helm for her speech and expressed her gratitude in full English.
