Sabrina Carpenter Joins Seth Meyers for Day Drinking in Playful Late-Night Segment

Pop star Sabrina Carpenter stopped by Late Night with Seth Meyers this week for a spirited edition of the show’s popular “Day Drinking” segment, delivering laughs, lighthearted revelations, and holiday chaos in equal measure.

The segment aired on Tuesday, December 17, and opened at New York City’s Ripple Room bar, where Meyers and Carpenter kicked things off by chugging a beer. The daytime drinking tradition, a fan-favorite on the NBC late-night show, quickly escalated into a mix of games, personal questions, and festive antics.

Personal Questions—and Strategic Sips

As is customary in the segment, Meyers and Carpenter took turns asking each other pointed questions. When either declined to answer, they were required to drink from a shared bowl of Long Island iced tea.

When Meyers asked Carpenter who inspired her song “Manchild,” the singer opted to drink rather than reveal details. However, she did answer when asked to rate Meyers, giving the host a 7 out of 10. Meyers jokingly pressed her to reconsider with another drink, keeping the tone playful and self-aware.

The pair later donned red masks as the game continued, adding to the absurdity as the drinks kept flowing.

Games, Gifts, and Holiday Chaos

The segment went beyond simple Q&A. Meyers and Carpenter attempted to open wrapped gifts while wearing oven mitts, then sampled mystery drinks hidden inside each other’s boxes. The unpredictable challenge led to laughter and visible confusion as neither knew what they were about to taste.

The segment concluded on a festive note, with Carpenter decorating Meyers like a Christmas tree, fully embracing the holiday spirit and the increasingly chaotic nature of the day drinking tradition.

A Busy Year for Sabrina Carpenter

Carpenter’s appearance comes during a major year for the singer. In September, she won the Best Album Award at the MTV Video Music Awards for Short n’ Sweet, further solidifying her position as one of pop music’s most prominent young stars.

She has also been a frequent presence on high-profile red carpets, including the Met Gala, TIME100 Next, and other major industry events, as her music career continues to gain momentum.

A Viral-Friendly Late-Night Moment

The Late Night with Seth Meyers “Day Drinking” segments are designed for shareability, and Carpenter’s appearance is likely to resonate with fans across social platforms. Her willingness to joke, dodge questions, and lean into the silliness made for a memorable late-night moment.

With humor, holiday flair, and just enough chaos, Carpenter’s visit offered a lighter side of the chart-topping artist—one beer chug at a time.
