Sabrina Carpenter channeled her inner Carrie Bradshaw on Wednesday in a promo for an upcoming episode of Saturday Night Live.
Carpenter will both host and appear as musical guest on the show’s Oct. 18 episode, marking her first time hosting and second time performing.
NBC released a new promo for the episode, invoking the the looks and sounds of the opening to long-running HBO series Sex and the City.
A curly-haired Carpenter narrates the scene as she steps out of an elevator into the SNL studios. Featured player Tommy Brennan greets the pop superstar, asking, “What are you up to?”
“In these heels, probably like 5’4″,” she jokes.
Carpenter flirts with Sarah Sherman and refers to Marcello Hernández as Mr. Big before handing him her cocktail — which seems to appear out of thin air. She confuses a writer for a fan and autographs the script he’s working on, blissfully believing she’s existing in the world of Sarah Jessica Parker’s Manhattan.
She sits down to a computer to type:
“The woman wondered what she’d gotten herself into. Having won over the cast and crew, the only thing left to do was … .”
Brennan interrupts, asking what Carpenter is writing.
“No idea. The computer’s not even on,” Sherman responds.
