Sienna Spiro Lives Up to ‘Great Expectations’ With Debut MTV VMAs Performance

The singer is nominated for Best New Artist

On September 27, Sienna Spiro made her VMAs debut with a powerful performance of her song "Great Expectation." Donning a silver dress and perched atop a large record and turntable, the British singer-songwriter wowed both the audience at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles and viewers at home through a live band and singers. Her performance was met with a standing ovation, reflecting the impact of her musical talent.

Sienna was in the running for the best new artist award, competing against six other artists including Magnus Ferrell, Malcolm Todd, Myles Smith, Stella Lefty, Bella Kay, and CORTIS. She won the award, beating out her competitors and the fans who had voted for her. In her emotional acceptance speech, Sienna expressed her gratitude to her fans, team, family, and the incredible women in her life, including her mother, sister, and producers Miriam and Thalia.

This September has been a successful one for Sienna, with "Great Expectation" maintaining its position at No. 1 on the U.K. Official Singles Chart for three consecutive weeks.
