On the October 18 episode of Saturday Night Live, Sabrina Carpenter, serving as the show’s host and musical guest, delivered an uncensored version of “Nobody’s Son” during her second song of the evening. The Grammy-winning pop superstar sang the explicit phrase, “He sure fu**ed me up” twice without being muted or bleeped during the live East Coast broadcast and Peacock simulcast, likely due to a miscommunication with NBC censors. Edited broadcasts throughout the rest of the country were aired following a slight delay to the start of the episode. The performance featured the 26-year-old Carpenter dressed in a white karate gi and black belt on a dojo-themed stage, with the singer dropping two F-bombs live on air while smashing wooden boards and knocking out her fellow black belt backup dancers. Earlier in the show, Carpenter performed her Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hit, “Manchild,” in a cozy bedroom setting, singing into a hairbrush microphone while wearing a t-shirt with “Live from New York” emblazoned on the front, paired with pink underwear with “It’s Saturday Night” written on the back.
