Last night, Olivia Rodrigo<\/a> hosted Saturday Night Live for the first time, playing double duty<\/a> as musical guest. With a little luck on her side<\/a> courtesy of last week\u2019s musical guest Jack White<\/a>, Rodrigo ; played \u201cDrop Dead<\/a>,\u201d the lead single off her forthcoming album You Seem Pretty Sad For a Girl So in Love<\/a>; and performed her new song \u201cBegged,\u201d which she debuted late last month at an invite-only show in LA, with Weyes Blood<\/a>. Watch it all go down below.<\/p>\n

During her monologue, Rodrigo shared footage from her earliest acting job, an Old Navy commercial at age six, and performed a parody of \u201cDriver\u2019s License\u201d about the begrudging process of getting a Real I.D. Throughout the episode, she appeared as a recently jilted girlfriend trying to make her ex a little jealous; an amateur baker whose bundt cake looks suspiciously like an anus; and a soap opera character with a penchant for pushing her foes down many, many stairs. Rodrigo also performed a song about living in a perfect bedroom in a zoo on a bug people planet, in a short produced by Dan Bulla.<\/p>\n

Beyond Weyes Blood, Rodrigo\u2019s guest list included Heated Rivalry star Connor Storrie, who introduced her performance of \u201cBegged,\u201d and Debbie Harry<\/a>, who did the honors ahead of \u201cDrop Dead.\u201d Aziz Ansari also made a guest appearance on the episode, playing FBI Director Kash Patel.<\/p>\n

Rodrigo most recently appeared on SNL in 2023, where she sang “Vampire” and “All-American Bitch”<\/a> ahead of the release of her second album, Guts<\/a>. She\u2019s the third artist to both host and perform on SNL\u2019s 51st season thus far, following Harry Styles<\/a> and Sabrina Carpenter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You Seem Pretty Sad For a Girl So in Love is due out on June 12. On Thursday, she announced the Unraveled Tour<\/a>, a run in support of the album that will feature four-night residencies in London, New York, and Los Angeles. On select dates, she\u2019ll have openers including Grace Ives<\/a>, the Last Dinner Party<\/a>, and Wolf Alice<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Last night, Olivia Rodrigo hosted Saturday Night Live for the first time, playing double duty as musical guest.…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":770829,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[171,173,67,132,68,989],"class_list":{"0":"post-770828","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entertainment","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-tv","10":"tag-united-states","11":"tag-unitedstates","12":"tag-us","13":"tag-video"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/770828","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=770828"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/770828\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/770829"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=770828"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=770828"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=770828"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
