Sabrina Carpenter and Jake Gyllenhaal being teamed up on an episode of Saturday Night Live raised many eyebrows, especially among Swifties.

Fans couldn’t help but speculate about possible references to Swift during Carpenter’s performance on SNL and imagined funny scenarios where she confronts Gyllenhaal on the show. The buzz and excitement surrounding this unexpected pairing have been growing as the airing date approaches on May 18.

Swifties took to social media to express their opinions on the SNL lineup, with some eagerly anticipating a possible exchange between Swift and Carpenter about the situation. Others praised SNL for the clever pairing, acknowledging the potential for drama and entertainment that it brings. Lyrics from both Carpenter and Swift’s songs were cleverly combined by fans to create witty remarks about the upcoming episode.

One Twitter user humorously pointed out that the selection of Gyllenhaal and Carpenter for SNL was a bold and humorous move, showcasing the potential for some comedic tension. The idea of seeing the text messages between Swift and Carpenter was so intriguing to another fan that they claimed they would pay millions to have access to them. Overall, the reaction from fans has been a mix of anticipation, excitement, and curiosity about how the episode will unfold.
