The post Raye Performs “Escapism” and “Worth It” on “SNL” appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>It’s been over a year since the release of Raye’s long-awaited debut studio album My 21st Century Blues, and she’s still making waves with this record. After dominating this year’s Brit Awards with historic six wins, Raye was invited to serve as a musical guest on the latest episode of SNL, hosted by Kristen Wiig.
After the episode aired, she shared her rendition of “Worth It” on social media. She captioned it by writing “just a little south London girl performing on SNL”, followed by a series of crying emojis, and added she’s lost for words after her performance on the iconic sketch show.
Raye also delivered a jazz-inspired rendition of her breakout hit “Escapism”. This breakup anthem came out in late 2022, and went on to become a viral sensation, hitting No. 1 in her home country of the UK. It also won her a prize for song of the year at this year’s Brit Awards, where she also won a trophy for the British artist of the year and album of the year for My 21st Century Blues.

]]>Rapp was chosen as the first SNL musical guest of 2024, shortly after the release of Paramount’s Mean Girls musical remake, in which she plays Regina George. Ahead of the film’s release, she joined forces with Megan Thee Stallion for the catchy bop “Not My Fault”, which was featured in the film’s credits.
Rapp and Stallion joined forces for the first live performance of this song on SNL, and they were introduced by none other than Rachel McAdams, who played Regina George in the original Mean Girls film. Stallion is no stranger to the SNL stage, and she served as a musical guest twice, in addition to pulling double duty in 2022.
Rapp also delivered a moving performance of “Snow Angel”, the title song from her debut studio album of the same name, which hit the shelves last summer. Its deluxe edition came out in November and featured three new songs, including the “Tummy Hurts” remix featuring Coco Jones.

]]>Sam Smith delivered the first SNL performance of 2023 alongside Kim Petras. This rendition of “Unholy” was pretty tame compared to some of their other performances, but that added to its charm.
We can count on Karol G to knock it out of the park every time she hits the stage, and she impressed us with two completely different takes on “Tus Gafitas” and “Mientras Me Curo Del Cora “ during her time on SNL.
Bad Bunny is the only SNL host to pull double duty in 2023, and he delivered an epic performance of “Un Preview” and “Monaco” in addition to hosting the show.
Olivia Rodrigo brought pop-punk energy to the SNL stage with a theatrical rendition of “All-American B—h”, which included everything from glass breaking to cake smashing.
Tate McRae gave us one of the biggest viral hits of 2023 with “Greedy” and her amazing dance skills were on full display in this electrifying live performance.

]]>Rodrigo made her SNL debut in 2021 when she was riding on the coattails of her debut album Soar. The 20-year-old singer repeatedly said that its follow-up Guts was written with a tour in mind, and judging by her SNL performance—epic things will happen once she finally hits the road.
Rodrigo kicked off her performance with the stripped-down version of the chart-topping single “Vampire”. She set behind a piano in a dazzling silver dress for a powerful rendition of this soaring ballad, and let her vocals shine with no background singers or other instruments to support her.
Just when we thought her second performance couldn’t possibly be any better, Rodrigo delivered a masterclass in female rage with the theatrical rendition of “All-American B—h”. From dramatically stabbing a cake and smearing it all over her face to chaotically dancing on a dinner table, she did a great job capturing the edgy energy of this pop-punk anthem and made us fall in love with it all over again.

]]>Rodrigo will take the SNL stage on December 9, alongside the host Adam Driver, who’s promoting his new film Ferrari. She made her Saturday Night Live debut in 2021, and having her perform right now is a pretty “logical” choice given the success of her sophomore studio album Guts.
As for Billie Eilish, she’ll be a part of what’s shaping up to be a Barbie-themed episode on December 16, since she’ll perform alongside Kate McKinnon. The SNL alum starred in Greta Gerwig’s box office smash hit earlier this year, while Eilish recorded the song “What Was I Made For?”, which went on to receive Grammy nods for the record and song of the year.
Rodrigo and Eilish will follow in the footsteps of Noah Kahan, who’s the musical guest on the December 2 episode hosted by Emma Stone. Coincidently, they’re both previous winners of the best new artist Grammy, while Kahan was nominated this year.
The list of musical guests on this season of SNL also included the rapper Ice Spice, Puerto Rican sensation Bad Bunny, rock band Foo Fighters, indie supergroup Boygenius, and rising pop star Tate McRae.

]]>The post Jonas Brothers Perform Two New Songs on “Saturday Night Live” appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>“Waffle House” was released as the second single from the band’s upcoming LP The Album just a day before their SNL performance, and it was inspired by the waffle house hangouts in their youth.
“‘Waffle House’ was born from a simple but powerful idea: When you sit down with the people that matter most, anything is possible. This song isn’t about a restaurant, it’s about coming together with the people you love and making your dreams come true,” Jonas Brothers explained in a statement.
Seeing JoBros perform “Waffle House” on SNL wasn’t a huge shocker, but their second performance was a different story. Most people expected them to perform their recent single “Wings”, but they decided to go in a different direction and debuted a new song “Walls” alongside Jon Bellion and a full choir.
Both songs will be featured on the trio’s sixth studio album The Album. It will be released on May 12 via Republic Records and its standard edition will feature a total of 12 tracks.

]]>The chart-topping singer made her SNL debut during the recent premiere of Season 45, and music critics are already hailing her performance as the best one in the show’s history. She performed “Bad Guy” and “I Love You” alongside her brother Finneas O’Connell, and the first track was the one that caught everyone’s eye.
Eilish delivered her chart-topping single from a box that resembled the Grand Central station and defied gravity while inside it, by walking on the walls and jumped up and down the ceiling. Naturally, the entire thing was just an optical illusion, but that doesn’t make her performance any less impressive.
Billie Eilish will be a hard act to follow, but Taylor Swift and Camila Cabello will have to give it their best shot. The two are booked as the musical guests on the upcoming two episodes of Saturday Night Live, set to air on October 5th and 12th.
