Charli XCX Surprises Fans with Role Model on Late Night

NEW YORK, N.Y. — Charli XCX made a surprise appearance during Role Model‘s debut performance on “Saturday Night Live” on Oct. 11, 2025. The 28-year-old singer, known for her viral hit “Sally, When the Wine Runs Out,” captivated the audience alongside the 33-year-old artist.
The live studio audience erupted in cheers as Charli stepped onto the stage, wearing her signature style: a leather skirt, black sheer tights, and stylish boots, topped off with a pair of sunglasses. Her unexpected entrance added an extra layer of excitement to the night.
Many fans took notice of Charli’s choice of attire, particularly a t-shirt featuring the phrase “Max’s Kansas City.” This attire sparked speculation that Role Model might be siding in a rumored feud involving Charli and Taylor Swift. Observers noted that Swift reportedly spends time in Kansas City with her fiancé.
Fans also theorized that Swift’s new song, featured in her album “The Life of a Showgirl,” might reference Charli. Notably, Charli recently married a member of The 1975, who is the ex-boyfriend of Swift.
The t-shirt could also be linked to Role Model’s last album, released in July 2024, which is titled “Kansas Anymore,” suggesting a double meaning behind the choice of clothing. Regardless of the implications, the performance was a thrilling moment for fans of both artists.
