Potty mouth.
Sabrina Carpenter dropped the F-bomb two times during her live performance on “Saturday Night Live” last night.
The 26-year-old pop star, who was both the host and musical guest of the episode, performed “Nobody’s Son” from her new album “Man’s Best Friend” and didn’t censor herself when she sang the lyrics “he sure f–ed me up” on two occasions.
The expletives played during the live NBC telecast and the live Peacock simulcast, but were censored during the West Coast airing and in versions that were later posted online, including on YouTube.
“SABRINA SAYING F–K UNCENSORED LIVE ON SNL IS KILLING ME,” one fan wrote on X.
“oh NBC about to be fined so bad for letting Sabrina say f–k 2 whole times on SNL,” another fan wrote.
“So was Sabrina Carpenter meant to censor herself, the NBC people do it, or had they just agreed to pay the fine cause Sabrina definitely just sang f–k twice,” a different viewer tweeted.
A fourth fan wrote, “Did NBC just slip up and forget to censor and let Sabrina Carpenter say f–k twice ???? or am I trippin rn !!”
Carpenter sang “Nobody’s Son” in a martial-arts setting while wearing a white bejeweled karate gi. Earlier in the episode, she performed “Manchild,” the lead single from her latest album.
During her opening monologue, Carpenter poked fun at her provocative persona.
“Now since I’m here, I want to clear up some misconceptions people have about me,” she said. “Everyone thinks of me as this, like, horndog pop star, but there’s really so much more to me. 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…”
After showing the cover of her “Man’s Best Friend” album, Carpenter continued, “Some people got a little freaked out by the cover. I’m not sure why. It was just this me on all fours with an unseen figure pulling my hair. But what people don’t realize is, that’s just how they cropped it. If you zoom out, it’s clearly a picture from the 50th anniversary special of Bowen [Yang] helping me up by the hair.”
As the image zoomed out further, Carpenter added: “After Martin Short shoved me out of the buffet line.”
Later in her monologue, the “Espresso” singer went into the audience and asked a fan what he does for work. When he said “venture capital,” she immediately moved on.
