Role Model secured a major pop star for his Saturday Night Live debut. He performed his song “Sally, When the Wine Runs Out” with Charli XCX as his guest “Sally” last month. The appearance helped settle a playful feud between the two musicians.

According to People magazine, the collaboration was a last-minute triumph. It resolved a public joke about Role Model not being invited to Charli XCX’s wedding. The moment created significant buzz online after the live broadcast.
The Last-Minute Sally and a Playful Debt
Role Model explained the cameo was arranged the day of the show. He told People he never expected Charli XCX to agree. Her text message after the performance was clear and humorous.
She stated he was “forever in debt” to her and “in her pocket.” Role Model accepted those terms, noting it was a fair price for such a notable Sally. The tradition involves bringing a different person on stage for each performance of that specific song.
The singer called it a beautiful moment and a major highlight. He expressed his love for Charli and confirmed they had worked things out. The SNL stage served as the perfect place to bury their hatchet.
From Enemies List to Center Stage
The cameo ended a lighthearted public spat. Charli XCX had previously placed Role Model on a cheeky “Enemies List.” This was reportedly because he did not receive an invitation to her wedding.
The SNL collaboration effectively removed him from that list. It demonstrated how viral internet jokes can translate into real, memorable performances. Fans of both artists celebrated the unexpected partnership on social media.
The event highlights SNL’s continuing role as a cultural connector. It provides a unique platform for resolving pop culture moments in real time. For Role Model, it was a career milestone made even sweeter by the surprise guest.
The Charli XCX SNL cameo was a perfect blend of music and meme, proving that playful online drama can lead to unforgettable live television. Role Model’s debt is now part of pop lore.
