The "Espresso" singer will appear as musical guest this Saturday with Gyllenhaal hosting

Leading up to Sabrina Carpenter‘s Saturday Night Live debut this weekend, and host Jake Gyllenhaal‘s return, the pair teamed up with Bowen Yang to tease the upcoming season finale.

In the video, in seeming reference to her sun-kissed hit song “Espresso,” Yang exclaims: “Sabrina, your song is stuck in my head!” After the cast member proceeds to sing, “Summertime is coming everybody is into board shorts,” Carpenter gently informs him that it’s not her song.

Regardless, Gyllenhaal joins Yang’s enthusiam as they declare, “Board Shorts Summer!” and Carpenter approves of the beach-themed ballad.

Later in the clip, The Covenant actor asks Carpenter where her last name comes from, to which she quips: “It comes out of the woodwork.”

Following the announcement of Carpenter’s upcoming appearance as musical guest and Gyllenhaal reprising his hosting duties on the show, Swifties were quick to point out the Taylor Swift-esque connection between Gyllenhaal to Carpenter. The actor dated Swift, whom Carpenter opened for on the Eras Tour over the last several months. (For those hoping for a Swift cameo at 30 Rock … Swift has a show in Stockholm that night.)

Saturday will mark Gyllenhaal’s third time hosting, as he previously appeared on the show in 2007 and 2022. He is currently promoting his new film Road House, a remake of Patrick Swayze ’80s cult classic.

As for Carpenter, the artist took to the Coachella stage for the first time last month, where she debuted “Espresso.” In an interview with Cosmopolitan published Thursday, Carpenter discussed how she stays energized and motivated by her work. “With this industry, if you’re focused on the wrong things, it can be easy not to feel that way,” she said. “If you’re focused on the things that excite you and the things that bring you that inspiration, that joy, it’s a more lighthearted experience.:
