Sabrina Carpenter to Be Musical Guest on Jake Gyllenhaal-Hosted ‘SNL’ Season Finale

Saturday Night Live airs at 11:30 p.m. every week and continues well past midnight, so the cast and crew will probably appreciate a little bit of Sabrina Carpenter‘s “Espresso” to keep them awake when she makes her musical guest debut later this month. As announced Thursday (May 2), the 24-year-old pop star has been slated to perform on the series’ upcoming season 49 finale on May 18 hosted by Jake Gyllenhaal, while Vampire Weekend will take the stage one week prior.

The “A-Punk” rock band is scheduled for SNL‘s May 11 episode, which Maya Rudolph will lead in her third time as host of the comedy show. The news comes just under a month after Vampire Weekend dropped its latest album, Only God Was Above Us, which debuted at No. 27 on the Billboard 200. It will mark the Grammy-winning quartet’s fourth time on the program.

A week later, Carpenter — who’s fresh off of scoring her first-ever Billboard Hot 100 top 10 hit with “Espresso” recently debuting at No. 7 — will bring her Eras Tour- and Coachella-tested performance skills to 30 Rock. Gyllenhaal, like Rudolph, is hosting for his third time.

The announcement comes just days ahead of Dua Lipa’s upcoming double-duty stint as both host and musical guest of this weekend’s SNL. In a recent promo clip for the episode, the singer — whose new album Radical Optimism drops Friday (May 3) — helped cast member Chloe Fineman perfect her pop star impression, with little luck.

“It’s close enough, you’re going to nail it,” Lipa tells the comedian in the skit, handing her the microphone so she can take over musical guest duties. “I’m going to actually just focus on my sketches, so I thought maybe you could do the performance for me. I’m going to go and grab dinner.”
