‘SNL’ Swaps Donald Trump for Taylor Swift—and Domingo—in Cold Open

Saturday night’s episode of Saturday Night Live made use of host and musical guest Sabrina Carpenter, opening with a musical medley in what is now the show’s fourth Domingo-themed sketch.

As now-married couple Kelsey and Matt, played by Chloe Fineman and Andrew Dismukes, celebrate Matt’s 30th, Kelsey’s friends—played by Carpenter, Sarah Sherman, Ashley Padilla and newcomer Veronika Slowikowska—emerge to serenade the birthday boy.

The quartet started with a song about their friend group’s recent trip to Nashville, sung along to the sound of Taylor Swift’s “The Fate of Ophelia” off her most recent album, The Life of a Showgirl. (Carpenter features on another song on the album, the titular “The Life of a Showgirl.”)
