Role Model, who served as the official musical guest of the second episode of season 51, hit the stage where he performed a rendition of his track, "Sally, When The Wine Runs Out." When performing the song at his live shows, the artist typically brings out a special guest of his own, known better to fans as the "Sally girl." In the past, Role Model has chosen artists like Conan Gray and Charli XCX's dear friend and Sweat Tour co-headliner Troye Sivan to serve the role. The two have taken joking jabs at one another on social media due to faux "Sally girl" drama, which included Role Model featuring the "Rush" singer during one of his shows.

However, it appeared Charli XCX and Role Model officially worked it out on the remix (or SNL stage) as she delivered a surprise cameo during his performance of the beloved song. Eagle-eyed fans also pointed out that the "360" singer wore the same shirt Role Model had on during promo shots that were released earlier this week for the episode. The shirt read, "max's kansas city." Sally, When The Wine Runs Out - @rolemodel pic.twitter.com/4XPqmtQn7H- Saturday Night Live - SNL (@nbcsnl) October 12, 2025 The "Look At That Woman" singer made his SNL debut on Saturday night, where he was joined by host Amy Poehler. The second episode of season 51 proved to be a star-studded night in terms of appearances, as former cast members Tina Fey and Seth Meyers also made unanticipated cameos. Charli XCX hosted SNL for the first time last year, where she also doubled as musical guest. The Grammy winner is known to spotlight fans and (sometimes) surprise celebrities during special segments of her concerts. Set to her track "Apple," Charli XCX regularly picks a concertgoer or public figure to be platformed on the big screen of her shows, where they often recite the popular TikTok dance to the tune of her song. Her SNL appearance comes amid speculation of an alleged feud with Taylor Swift. The latter singer's latest album, The Life of a Showgirl, featured a track entitled "Actually Romantic," which some fans believe is a response to Charli XCX's 2024 track "Sympathy is a knife."
