Charli XCX Crashes Role Model's SNL Debut as Surprise 'Sally Girl'
12 Oct
Summary
- Role Model makes SNL debut as musical guest
- Charli XCX joins him on stage for 'Sally' performance
- Fans speculate about Taylor Swift diss track
On October 11, 2025, musician Role Model, whose real name is Tucker Pillsbury, made his debut as the musical guest on Saturday Night Live. During his performance, he sang two tracks: 'Some Protector' and 'Sally, When the Wine Runs Out'. As is customary for a Role Model set, he invited a special guest to join him on stage for the 'Sally' song.
To the surprise of viewers, that guest turned out to be none other than Charli XCX. The two had been joking on social media about 'faux Sally girl drama' after Pillsbury had his former 'Sweat Tour' co-headliner Troye Sivan join him onstage.
This unexpected appearance by Charli XCX comes just a year after she herself hosted SNL for the first time, where she also pulled double duty as a musical guest. Fans have been speculating that her song 'Sympathy Is a Knife' may have been a diss track aimed at Taylor Swift, who recently released an album with a song called 'Actually Romantic' that many believe is a response to Charli.
As the music world continues to buzz with this potential feud, Role Model's SNL debut has certainly made waves, thanks to the unannounced appearance of Charli XCX as his 'Sally girl'.
