Sabrina Carpenter has spoofed Sex and the City in a new teaser to mark her appearance on this week’s upcoming episode of Saturday Night Live.
Off the back of her new album ‘Man’s Best Friend’, the pop star will appear on the third episode of the iconic show’s 51st season on October 18 as both host and musical guest.
It will be the first time Carpenter has hosted, but she was previously a musical guest on season 49. The musician was also part of the show’s 50th anniversary celebrations back in February, at one point appearing in a sketch where she sang an off-key version of ‘Espresso’.
This year’s season 51 premiere had Bad Bunny booked to host on October 4, while Doja Cat made her SNL debut as musical guest. SNL alumna Amy Poehler returned to host on October 11, with Role Model as the musical guest.
In a teaser for the upcoming episode, Carpenter can be seen channelling Carrie Bradshaw as she sips on a Cosmopolitan, writes on a laptop and meets her ‘Mr Big’. “New York is one big apple, and I’m taking my bite at Saturday Night Live,” she says at the top of the sketch.

Carpenter has also been announced as one of the headliners of next year’s Coachella alongside Justin Bieber and Karol G. After days of speculation, she was confirmed to be closing out the Friday night of both weekends at the desert music festival.
Coachella 2026 will take place between April 10 and 12, and again on April 17 to 19. As for tickets, you’ll be able to get yours here.
‘Man’s Best Friend’ scored a four-star review from NME, with Nick Levine writing: “Musically, this album isn’t markedly different from its predecessor, though it has a few more country-leaning cuts sprinkled among the daytime disco and featherlight funk.
“It also sticks to Carpenter’s winning formula of pairing sticky melodies with pithy lyrics about the flaws and allure of inadequate males. If there were a Bechdel Test for pop albums, ‘Man’s Best Friend’ wouldn’t be in danger of passing it.”
Meanwhile, Carpenter recently joked that her label “really didn’t give a fuck” about her after learning there were only 200 copies of her debut album made for vinyl.
