When Role Model (Tucker Harrison Pillsbury) was announced as the musical guest on *Saturday Night Live*, fans immediately wondered who would play the coveted role of “Sally” alongside him. Those unfamiliar with the show had even more questions: What *is* a Sally? Is Role Model a solo act, like Tame Impala? And why are his tattoos so perfectly spaced? We found out on October 11th when Charli XCX was revealed as Saturday Night’s Sally. This effectively ended a playful rivalry, as both Role Model and Charli XCX have jokingly battled for custody of Conan Gray and Troye Sivan, both of whom have previously held the roles of Sally and the “Apple Girl” on the show.

Charli D’Amelio’s recent appearance sparked speculation that she was subtly addressing several ongoing disagreements at once. People noticed she was wearing a t-shirt referencing Max’s Kansas City, a famous New York City club. Some wondered if this was a pointed message to Taylor Swift, referencing Swift’s recent song and alluding to a contrast between them – Swift representing Kansas City, and Charli aligning herself with the edgy, artistic history of Max’s Kansas City. Charli is known for using clothing to make statements, but this might not have been one of them. It turned out Role Model wore the same shirt during promotional appearances earlier in the week as part of Charli’s performance as Sally. It seems she’s intentionally crafting a story, playing into her persona as an actress.
