Olivia Rodrigo pulled double duty in her hosting debut on this week’s episode of Saturday Night Live. Blondie’s Debbie Harry introduced Rodrigo’s first performance, ‘drop dead’, which we named one of the best songs of April. Rodrigo then sang ‘begged’, the striking ballad she debuted in Los Angeles last weekend with Weyes Blood’s Natalie Mering, who backed her on SNL, too. (That’s her on the screenshot above.) She also starred in sketches about an 1980s television drama, a birthday party attended by her ex, a home security ad, and more. In her opening monologue, she spoofed her debut single ‘driver’s license’ by singing about going to the DMV. Watch it happen below.
Rodrigo’s new album, you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love, arrives on June 12. She recently announced a massive tour in support of the album, featuring support from Grace Ives, Wolf Alice, Devon Again, the Last Dinner Party, and Die Spitz.
