Joey King showered love on her longtime friend Sabrina Carpenter's latest live rendition of Manchild.

After taking on double duties as first time host and second time musical guest on the October 18th episode of Saturday Night Live, the Espresso hitmaker took to Instagram to share highlights from her performance.

As she posted videos of her live performances of Nobody’s Son and Manchild, The Kissing Booth star dropped a supportive comment on one of her posts.

"This is so amazing," wrote the 26-year-old actress, who is married to director Steven Piet, under Manchild video as the Grammy winner was seen singing in a hairbrush as mic, exuding all the teen or high school girl vibes.

The latest live version began with the Disney star-turned pop sensation performing from a bed, wearing a yellow T-shirt and pink underwear. 

Her vocal magic wowed both the live audience and online fans, with some even praising her, saying it's better live than in the recorded version.

Notably, the Please Please Please chart topper and Joey have been friends for a long time. They've been spotted together on casual outings and often mention each other in interviews and on social media, showing mutual support and affection.

Sabrina, 26, once even posted a birthday shoutout for A Family Affair actress, calling her one of her closest friends.
