This rarefied height came about with good company, glitter, and a really good smoky eye. Frankie’s first VMA as a performing artist? Yeah, that’s a pretty important moment in the life of an artist. Glitz and glam were pretty much the opposite of what his sister was feeling. He shared a very eloquent tribute-praise-gush from that very moment down to the Basically Sunlate period for his sister, calling the ‘Brighter Days Ahead’ another light or beacon. He said she can turn pain into beauty, and really, who can argue against that?
There are pictures of this night. This one has Frankie sitting bold in black and yellow prints next to a beauty nodding in polka dots-the vibes were pure joy. Celebration mode: activated.
The comments poured down like showers of love; it literally became one big group hug. One user said, “I just can’t get over when I watch Frankie have fun dancing and living his best life.” Another comment screamed from slide 5 of the carousel: “Sweetest!!”
And that kind of humor translates as ‘munera’ moment and you just know that one’s a tender sibling moment.
Fashion compliments kept rolling: “Your look was so fab! 👏,” says an adoring commenter, with me backing her up on that one, that outfit was flawless. Slide 10 must’ve been the star of the slideshow.
That was also like unsolicited free love for Ariana: “So proud of you both. I love you both from the bottom of my heart,” one commenter said, echoing what seemed like a shared sentiment among many others, “I’m so happy for all of you and I love you all!! CONGRATULATIONS Ari, much deserved!❤️” Because when Ari wins, we all win.
One fan actually got very personal and tied Frankie’s work into their own trajectory: “Loved hotel Rock bottom, Frankie! And it couldn’t have come at a better time for me. 81 days sober and counting! Thanks for your support of Ari! I adore her too 💖 Brighter days was incredible 🤍” That is what art does. It takes away pain and turns into hope one day at a time.
It was that very moment that was their favorite from the whole night; “I cried like a baby.” That mighta be Ariana’s speech about trauma and healing was heavy on some folks’ spirits.
Of course, then there’s love for Labubu: “I love the word ‘glam.’ By the way, I love your labubu, Frankie. She’s dressed up as an astronaut. So cute 🥰.” Really, it’s the little things.
That may have been the most touching comment: “You and your family are all so precious and a light to this world. 😊💜✨.” On days when light is scarce, that counts for something.
Frankie’s post was more than an afterthought—it was a tribute. The tribute to his sister, to the art, and to the night itself. And the floodgates opened, washing away current public displays of affection inequitably resonated: glitz and glamour are never without respectable familial pride behind the scenes, alongside adoring fans.
Here’s to brighter days, for real.
