Sabrina Carpenter managed to slip in two F-bombs during her performance of “Nobody’s Son” on Saturday Night Live.
The singer, who hosted and sang on the show’s Saturday (Oct. 18) episode, dropped two F-bombs while performing the track that appears on her seventh studio album, Man’s Best Friend.
“He sure fucked me up,” said Carpenter—not once but twice.
Deadline reports that although the word wasn’t censored in the original broadcast, it was properly bleeped out for the West Coast and future airings. The word has been scrubbed from Peacock and YouTube streaming, as well.
Carpenter’s SNL appearance had other wild moments besides her double dose of "fuck." During her opening monologue, the singer joked about her controversial Man’s Best Friend cover.
“Last time I was here, for the 50th anniversary, I got to sing with Paul Simon, and since then, my new album Man’s Best Friend came out,” Carpenter said. “Some people got a little freaked out by the cover. I’m not sure why.
“But what people don’t realize: It’s just how they cropped it,” she joked. "If you zoom out, it’s clearly a picture of me at the 50th anniversary special of Bowen [Yang] helping me up by the hair. After Martin Short shoved me out of the buffet line, saying something like, ‘Daddy need his mini-quiche.'”
Carpenter also wanted to “clear up some misconceptions” about her public image.
“Everyone thinks of me as this, like, horndog pop star, but there’s really so much more to me,” she said. “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."
