A Taxonomy of Role Model’s Sallies

18

Justin Bieber had his “One Less Lonely Girl.” Charli XCX has her designated “Apple” dancer. Sabrina Carpenter has her fuzzy pink handcuffs. And now, the viral pop-concert trend filling everyone’s TikTok feeds is Role Model’s Sallies. Since his hit song “Sally, When The Wine Runs Out” dropped in February, Role Model — a.k.a. 28-year-old musician Tucker Pillsbury — has been inviting one lucky attendee onstage at each show to dance as that night’s titular Sally. If you’ve seen someone in cowboy boots bopping around on a stage in the past few months, chances are it was at a Role Model concert.

At first, the honor typically went to fans plucked straight from the crowd. But as the concert moment — and Role Model himself — started blowing up, the Sallies have become more varied, and also a lot more famous. Here are all the celebrities who’ve been Sally so far, from the A-listers to the ones you’re probably too old to know about.
