Charli XCX made her Saturday Night Live debut as both host and musical guest, following a whirlwind year marked by her album Brat and collaborations with artists like Lorde and Ariana Grande.
Monologue: Charli’s monologue was a standout, with tongue-in-cheek jokes about her love for auto-tune, her “brat” persona, and her party-loving past. She joked about being “straight” and playfully defined “brat” with a Martha Stewart example before closing by sharing that hosting SNL was a dream come true.
‘Domingo’ Sketch: Charli joined the viral “Domingo” sketch from Ariana Grande’s episode, this time as the bride’s cousin. The group sang a new song about a baby shower, continuing the humorous saga of the character Domingo.
Performances: Charli performed two hits from Brat. In her first performance, she sang 360 against a vibrant backdrop. For the second, she performed Sympathy Is a Knife, with the words “Party Girl” glowing behind her, delivering a high-energy, memorable show.
