Taylor Swift fans lose it over ‘messy’ SNL lineup as close pal Sabrina Carpenter AND ex-boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal are set to appear on the same episode
Taylor Swift fans are sharing their hilarious reactions to the ‘wild’ Saturday Night Live lineup that sees the popstar’s close pal Sabrina Carpenter performing as the All Too Well superstar’s ex-boyfriend, Jake Gyllenhaal, hosts.
On Thursday night, the comedy TV show announced that the Espresso songstress – who opened up for Taylor on the Latin America, Asia, and Australian legs of her Eras Tour – would be teaming up with her friend’s past lover and 43-year-old actor Jake.
The actor dated the Bad Blood singer in October 2010 into early 2011 and is believed to be the inspiration behind the hit song All Too Well.
And after Sabrina, 24, performed at Taylor’s shows, the blonde duo developed a close friendship and fans have now become ‘obsessed’ with the ‘messy’ decision to have the Nonsense hitmaker on stage with her friend’s former flame.
Floods of reactions came onto Instagram and Twitter when SNL announced the update on their Instagram, which revealed that Sabrina would be the musical guest alongside host Jake on May 18.
Fans immediately ran to the comments section to express their shock and ‘excitement.’
One person said: ‘This is so messy, I’m so excited.’
Someone else added: ‘Having Sabrina and Jake is literally the funniest thing I’ve ever seen.’
‘Pairing one of Taylor Swift’s best friends with her ex is kind of wild,’ another fan added.
‘Awkward,’ one person wrote.
Others brought up the ‘scarf’ Taylor mentions in her song All Too Well, which reads, ‘And, I left my scarf there at your sister’s house, and you’ve still got it in your drawer, even now.’
One fan quipped: ‘Sabrina is taking back that scarf for real.’
