Charli XCX did double duty as host and musical guest on last night's episode Saturday Night Live. This was Charli's first time hosting and third appearance, following appearances in 2014 and 2022. She sang the BRAT The tracks “360” (introduced by Julia Fox) and “Sympathy is a Knife” (introduced by Bowen Young), and starred in sketches as Victoria Beckham, a producer for a podcast and a star student of a commercial acting teacher. Charli was also involved in a cut Please Don't Destroy video which is now on YouTube. Check out all of her sketches and performances below.
SNL shared two promos before Charli's appearance. In one, he had a conversation with Chloe Fineman using only the word 'Brat'. in the other, she revealed her “real name”—”Charleston 10-100-10″—along with Marcelo Hernandez. See both below. In October, Charli shared the remix album Brat and it's totally different but still brat. She was recently nominated for seven awards, including her first nominations as a solo artist, at the 2025 Grammys.
SNL is in its 50th season. Recent musical guests include Billie Eilish, Chappell Roan and Mk.gee. Roan performed “Pink Pony Club” and debuted an unreleased song titled “The Giver,” while Mk.gee played his new single “Rockman” and Two Star & the Dream Police track “Alesis.” Last month, Ariana Grande hosted an episode — along with musical guest Stevie Nicks — where she appeared in skits including the viral “Bridesmaid Speech.” Next week will feature Jean Smart and musical guest Jelly Roll, and then, after a week off, SNL will return on December 7th with Paul Mescal hosting and Shaboozey scheduled to perform.
