SIENNA Spiro fans were left confused over her ‘strange’ reaction to meeting Taylor Swift at the VMAs this weekend.

The Die On This Hill hitmaker won Best New Artist at the prestigious awards, while Taylor was awarded three gongs during the bash.

Now, a video of the pair crossing paths backstage is circulating online.

In the clip, Taylor walks past London-born Sienna and seemingly congratulates her with a smile.

Sienna appeared to thank Taylor before looking down and turning to her team and making a face.

In the comment section, some slammed the face Sienna made as disrespectful to the megastar.

“Why did she look mad???” asked one fan.

Another said: “Wait is she mocking TS? I am confused.”

“Wait is she mocking TS? I am confused.” wrote a third.

However, some defended Sienna – who was holding her high heels in her hands after taking them off – and claimed she was simply overwhelmed following the win.

“I think she was still in shock from winning,” said a user.

Another speculated: “I could tell by her body language she was embarrassed because she was holding her heels in her hands. 😭 I felt that for her. And her facial expression after.

“I can’t tell if she’s having a “how can this be real” moment or an “ew” moment /gen,” said another.

The Sun has reached out to Sienna’s representive for comment.

The awards bash saw music’s top stars in attendance, with Madonna opening the show before being joined by Sabrina Carpenter and later followed by Charli XCX.

Taylor’s three prizes included Video of the Year for The Fate Of Ophelia and meant Taylor is now the most-decorated act in VMA history with 33 gongs, overtaking Beyoncé.

Australia-born Jasmin Strange is one of four potential debutants in England’s 23-strong squad for the World Cup.

Sydney Roosters second-row forward Strange, who is set to play in Sunday’s NRLW Grand Final against Brisbane Broncos, has committed herself to England, for whom she qualifies through her mother Adele.

The 23-year-old is the daughter of Roosters women’s head coach John Strange, who played for Featherstone in the 1990s.

Strange is joined by three uncapped players – Leeds Rhinos’ Connie Boyd, Hope Millard of Canterbury Bulldogs, and Wigan Warriors’ Lucie Sams.

In addition to Strange and Millard, whose father Shane was a forward for Widnes, Leeds and Wigan, three other NRLW players have made the squad – including dual code international Fran Goldthorp, who last played rugby league for her country at the most recent World Cup in 2022.

Newcastle Knights’ Georgia Roche and Hollie-Mae Dodd of Canberra Raiders have also been included.

Strange’s inclusion as a heritage player – one who qualifies through parentage – comes after eligibility rules were relaxed this year.

An International Rugby League ruling means that players can now represent more than one of the three tier one nations – Australia, New Zealand and England.

That led to speculation that head coach Stu Barrow might call on more heritage players with NRLW experience – such as Roosters playmaker Jocelyn Kelleher, Bulldogs half-back Tayla Preston and Wests Tigers full-back Caitlin Turnbull.

But Barrow has said he wants to give homegrown players an opportunity to develop.

All three Woman of Steel nominees – Jenna Foubister, Eva Hunter and Megan Williams – have been selected, along with six of their Wigan team-mates. Grand Final winners York Valkyrie have one player in the squad in forward Liv Wood.

Loose forward Jodie Cunningham, who will retire after the World Cup, is selected along with St Helens team-mate Vicky Whitfield, who will be competing at her fourth World Cup.

Barrow said: “Narrowing our squad from 40 players to a final 23 has involved some difficult decisions, but we believe we have the right balance of experience and youth to compete on the world stage.

“It’s also an exciting moment for the programme with the inclusion of Australian-based heritage players for the first time.”

This year’s men’s, women’s and wheelchair World Cups will run concurrently, with England competing in all three. The wheelchair squad was announced last week, while the men’s squad will be confirmed on 5 October.

The tournaments are being staged largely in Australia, with Papua New Guinea’s men and women each playing two pool matches in their own country, and their New Zealand counterparts playing one.

England face three group matches – beginning in Perth against Wales on 17 October and Australia on 24 October, before facing Samoa in Wollongong on 30 October.

The top two sides in England’s four-team group will go through to the semi-finals on 7 and 8 November, with the final on 15 November.
