Sabrina Carpenter Shakes Up Snl With Racy Monologue And Performance

Sabrina's Bold SNL Debut

Sabrina Carpenter had audiences doing double takes as she made her Saturday Night Live debut, serving as both host and musical guest. Known for her playful persona, the 26-year-old singer seized the opportunity to address some of the backlash she's faced recently. Specifically, she tackled critiques about her Man's Best Friend album cover, which some have deemed too "horny." During her opening monologue, Sabrina quipped about SNL's Bowen Yang helping her off the floor after a humorous buffet incident with Martin Short. She had the crowd in stitches, setting the stage for an evening of entertainment with her usual flair.

“People think of me as this, like, horn-dog pop star, but there’s so much more to me,” she joked, adding, “I’m not just horny, I’m also turned on, and I’m sexually charged, and I love to read. My favorite book is the encyclopedia. It’s so big, and it’s hard — wait, seriously, okay, sorry!”

Electrifying Performances

But Sabrina didn’t stop with just laughs. She took things up a notch by performing her hit song Manchild in a vibrant display that saw her dancing around in a young woman’s bedroom set, wearing nothing but a cropped yellow shirt emblazoned with "Live from New York" and pink underwear that cheekily declared "It’s Saturday Night!" The tongue-in-cheek wardrobe choice matched the playful nature of her performance, leaving a lasting impression on her audience.

Another Showstopper

Later in the night, Sabrina switched up the vibe for a performance of Nobody’s Son, set against the backdrop of a martial arts dojo. The contrasting themes showcased her versatility and flair for the dramatic, proving she’s more than just a pop sensation; she's an all-around entertainer.

Viewers couldn’t get enough of Sabrina's dynamic SNL appearance. Social media lit up with fans praising her bold choices and comedic timing. The episode also featured the return of a fan-favorite character, Domingo, which added to the night’s excitement.
Fans were quick to express their delight over the episode, with many calling it one of the most entertaining of the season. Sabrina’s fearless approach to her SNL debut definitely has people talking.
