Last night, Olivia Rodrigo<\/a> hosted Saturday Night Live<\/em> 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<\/em><\/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<\/em> 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<\/em> in 2023, where she sang “Vampire” and “All-American Bitch”<\/a> ahead of the release of her second album, Guts<\/em><\/a>. She\u2019s the third artist to both host and perform on SNL<\/em>\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<\/em> 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 \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source pitchfork.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Last night, Olivia Rodrigo hosted Saturday Night Live for the first time, playing double duty as musical guest.
