The 2024 VMAs blew us all away, but we really want to know whose pets steal the show. Check out our list of our top VMAs winners, and their performing cats and dogs.

The MTV VMAs featured a fantastic breadth of artists and talent across the board, signifying 2024 as an awesome year for music. But what about the pets behind the performers? Nothing helps an artist relax more than coming home to a furry friend at the end of a long day, and some of the most famous musicians have the cutest cats and dogs around. Check out our list below to see our favourite winners with their best furry friends, and which Tilly & Ted meal we think they'd vibe with.

1. Sabrina Carpenter

Sabrina Carpenter blew everyone away this year with summer smash, 'Espresso'. Her album Short n' Sweet features banger after banger, that everyone has been singing along to nonstop. She took home the award for Song of the Year, for her aforementioned smash hit, solidifying her as one of the most influential artists of 2024. She even thanked her cats and dogs in her acceptance speech, as Sabrina is accompanied by a whole host of furry friends. Her biggest buddy is Maltese-mix, Goodwin. After receiving him for her 13th birthday, Sabrina and Goodwin have been best friends ever since, and the family has only grown with the addition of puppy, Louie, and cats, Bennie and Bjorn. We think their stylish and fun vibe matches our Turkey Loaf perfectly, as it is crafted to please even the most discerning canine palates, and keep hair shiny and soft.

2. Billie Eilish

Billie Eilish has had everyone on the edge of their seats all year with the release of her new album, Hit me Hard and Soft, as well as with iconic collaborations, such as 'Guess' with Charli XCX. The incredibly influential star has been a success since her career launched in 2015, and shows no signs of slowing down. She took home the award for Video For Good, with her 'What Was I Made For?' music video from the Barbie movie soundtrack. To give her a helping paw with the musical process, Billie has many four-legged friends. On the waggy side, we've got family dog Pepper, and her Pit Bull, Shark, to add some puppy love into the mix. On the purry side, we've got cat, Misha, to give some fluffy cuddles after a long day of recording. We reckon these cheeky chaps would love our Turkey Pâté with Chicken and Squash meal, to help the creative juices flow with it's delicious and unique flavours.

3. Ariana Grande

This smash star has been on everyone's minds this year; Ariana Grande's album 'Eternal Sunshine' has been making a huge splash in the music scene. With her upcoming performance as Glinda in 'Wicked', her name has certainly carried a lot of buzz. This year, she took home the award for Best Cinematography, with her video for superb song 'We Can’t Be Friends (wait for your love)'. Ariana is also a huge dog lover and has a whole pack of pups at home, with ten rescue dogs! Her fur family includes Ophelia the Labradoodle, Fawkes the Shiba Inu, Cinnamon the American Pit Bull Terrier, Coco the Dachshund-German Shepherd, Lafayette the Bloodhound, Sirius the Labradoodle, Strauss the Yorkshire Terrier, Pignoli the Chihuahua, Toulouse the Beagle-Chihuahua, and Myron the Pit Bull-mix. We think Ariana and her dogs would have the best time with our sweet and sassy Duck Terrine, as it has a unique flavour profile whilst being packed with superfoods.

4. Katy Perry

Katy Perry has been a staple of the pop industry since the early 2000's, and continues to dominate the game year after year. After releasing new single 'Women's World', Katy has been the centre of music media, and pleased the crowd with a fantastic live performance at the 2024 VMAs. She won the award for VMAs Most Iconic Performance, with her 2013 performance of iconic song 'Roar'. When she's not on stage, Katy has two adorable teacup poodles to cuddle up with, Nugget and Butters. Both paw-fect pooches have featured on Katy's Instagram many times, and continue to delight fans with their waggy antics. Our Lamb Kebab meal seems like an obvious choice here, as it combines a classic taste with a flavourful twist, providing plenty of hearty protein along the way.

5. Taylor Swift

Unsurprisingly, the 2024 VMAs were swept with one of the most popular artists of current times, Taylor Swift. Her sold-out Eras tour has created a universe of its own amongst fans, and latest album 'The Tortured Poets Department' captured hearts and excitement all over the world. She took home not just one award, but seven, winning Song of the Summer, Best Editing, Best Direction, Best Pop, Artist of the Year, Video of the Year, and Best Collaboration, making her the most awarded artist in VMAs history. Every superstar needs their purr-fect pets to come home to, and Taylor Swift hasn't been shy about declaring her endless love for cats, Benjamin Button, Meredith Grey, and Olivia Benson. For this happy family, our Tuna with Salmon Mousse is the ultimate whisker-licking delight, and we think each and every one of Taylor's kitties would adore this oceanic treat.
