Geena Davis Replaces Susan Sarandon in Sabrina Carpenter’s Coachella Monologue

The shorter cameo suggests Carpenter trimmed the theatrical bit after fans questioned the length of Susan Sarandon’s first-week speech.

Overview

  • Sabrina Carpenter brought out Geena Davis to play an older version of herself in a spoken interlude, delivered from a vintage white car with a blonde wig and lines about fame and youth.
  • Weekend one featured Susan Sarandon in the same role, with a monologue reported at nearly seven minutes that left some attendees confused.
  • The updated segment ran shorter on weekend two, which outlets say likely reflects a pacing tweak in response to that reaction.
  • Corey Fogelmanis, Carpenter’s Girl Meets World co-star, briefly interrupted the monologue both weekends as a recurring bit.
  • Surprise cameos extended beyond the speech, with Will Ferrell posing as a stage technician earlier in the run and Terry Crews later doing a strip tease and singing A Thousand Miles a cappella.
