Sabrina Carpenter Sizzles With 'Espresso' Performance on 'SNL ...

Sabrina Carpenter brought the heat to Studio 8H.

The 25-year-old pop star made her musical guest debut on Saturday Night Live, performing her Billboard Hot 100 chart top 10 song “Espresso,” along with a medley of “Feather” and “Nonsense.”

The season 49 finale on May 18 was hosted by Jake Gyllenhaal, who returned in the role for the third time.

For her first musical performance, Carpenter donned a red minidress while delivering her hit single “Espresso” on a bar-themed set. The theatrical performance included the backing of a full band and dancers male dressed as in black and white suits.

“Espresso” has spent four straight weeks in the top 10 of the Hot 100 chart after logging the best debut of the the singer’s career, getting meme’d in countless ways and setting off dance parties at Coachella.

Carpenter returned later in the episode for a medley of “Feather” and “Nonsense,” which appear on her 2023 album, Emails I Can’t Send. In honor of her SNL musical guest debut, the singer changed the lyrics to “Nonsense,” singing before the chorus, “I’m on SNL and you’re not.”

Carpenter has spent much of her time recently as an opener for Taylor Swift on the superstar’s global Eras Tour, playing stadiums in Latin America, Australia and Singapore.

Elsewhere during the show, Carpenter appeared alongside Gyllenhaal in a pre-taped Scooby Doo-themed skit playing the character Daphne.
