Charli XCX pulled double-duty on Saturday Night Live this week as both host and musical guest. She performed BRAT songs “360” (introduced by Julia Fox, who’s in the song’s video) and “Sympathy is a knife” (introduced by Bowen Yang, who has impersonated her on SNL and does sp again this week, see below), both solo, no backing musicians or dancers necessary.
Charli was in nearly every sketch, including both of the Digital Shorts: a Lonely Island song/video called “Here I Go” that finds Charli duetting with Andy Samberg, and a Please Don’t Destroy piece called Mean Cute. Other sketches: a sequel to the bridesmaids sketch a while back with Ariana Grande, and this time they sing a parody of recent SNL performer Chappell Roan‘s “Hot to Go!”; ‘Wicked Auditions’ (Charli impersonates Adele, and then Troye Sivan to Bowen Yang’s Charli); a Thanksgiving-themed edition of the recurring Bake-Off sketch (which also features former SNL cast member Kyle Mooney); the “It Girl Thanksgiving Special” with fashionistas Marc Jacobs (Yang) and Julia Fox (Chloe Fineman) and Charli as Victoria Beckham aka Posh Spice; and a sketch about three friends who go to see Shrek: The Musical and and each have unique yet similar experience’s with its star.
Watch those sketches and more from SNL below.
