Sabrina Carpenter is taking NYC by storm, so it's only fitting that her new Saturday Night Live promo video evokes one of its most fashionable TV icons: Carrie Bradshaw.

How to Watch

Watch Saturday Night Live Saturdays at 11:30/10:30c on NBC and next day on Peacock.

The "Manchild" singer is Host and Musical Guest for SNL's October 18 episode, and she may also be losing her mind. The first promo follows Carpenter through the halls of 30 Rockefeller Plaza as she obliviously takes every question as innuendo, and sees every colleague as a fan. 

"New York is one big apple, and I'm taking my bite at Saturday Night Live," she says in a Sex in the City-style voiceover.

"Sabrina!" says new cast member Tommy Brennan as Carpenter exits the elevator into Studio 8H. "What are you up to?" 

"In these heels?" she cracks. "Probably like 5'4." 

"Are you excited for the weekend?" asks Sarah Sherman

"Sorry hun, I prefer a strong end," she replies, with a slap to Sherman's butt. Watch the clip above.

And Just Like That…Sabrina Carpenter is hosting SNL 

When Carpenter sees her old friend Marcello Hernández aka Domingo, she gets excited. The two have shared a stage a couple of times now, most recently during Carpenter's cameos in the SNL50 special's Domingo sketch and then Season 50 Host Quinta Brunson's monologue. And yet, she seems to have forgotten his name. 

"Oh my god, it's Mr. Big!" she says, suddenly sipping a cosmopolitan. 

"Oh, hey," he responds, as she hands him her empty glass. "It's actually Marcello, but I'll take it." 

When writer Martin Herlihy approaches Carpenter to ask about changes to a script, she simply gives him an autograph, saying "Anything for a fan!"

She ends the promo in a familiar place for Sex and the City fans: typing up her latest column on a laptop, just like Carrie.

"The woman wondered what she'd gotten herself into," she says in voiceover. "Having won over the cast and crew, the only thing left to do was..." 

As she types, Hernández, Sherman, Herlihy, and Brennan watch over her shoulder. 

"What's she writing?" asks Brennan. 

"No idea," says Sherman. "The computer's not even on."
