Charli XCX Makes Surprise 'SNL' Cameo as Role Model's 'Sally'

Role Model says she wore his Max’s Kansas City T‑shirt, a detail that has fueled unconfirmed Taylor Swift feud chatter.

Overview

  • During the Oct. 11 episode hosted by Amy Poehler, Role Model called out for “Sally” mid‑song and Charli XCX briefly joined him, danced, handed over her sunglasses, and exited.
  • Charli wore a Max’s Kansas City shirt matching Role Model’s earlier SNL promos, and he later noted on Instagram that she borrowed it from him.
  • Fans debated whether the shirt referenced Taylor Swift, though outlets pointed to alternative explanations tied to Role Model’s album Kansas Anymore and the historic New York club.
  • No artist statements have confirmed a feud, even as some listeners read Swift’s new track “Actually Romantic” and Charli’s Brat‑era songs as connected.
  • The appearance continued Role Model’s recurring ‘Sally’ tradition from live shows, and his SNL debut also included “Some Protector” plus surprise cameos by Tina Fey and Seth Meyers.
