Olivia Rodrigo Debuts "drop dead" and "begged" on Saturday Night Live

Olivia Rodrigo pulled double duty on this week’s episode of Saturday Night Live , taking her inaugural turn as host as well as serving as musical guest in support of her forthcoming album you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love .

Rodrigo previewed the album by performing the lead single “drop dead” and debuting a new ballad called “begged.” For the former song, she was introduced by Blondie’s Debbie Harrie, while recent SNL host Connor Story returned to Studio 8H to intro Rodrigo’s second performance.

As host, Rodrigo appeared in several sketches, including as a baker showing off her sexually suggestive lava cake on Shop TV (a sequel to a sketch which previously starred fellow pop star Sabrina Carpenter). She also starred opposite Ben Marshall as two exes trying to make each other jealous; played a conniving heiress in a spoof of an ’80s television show; the passenger of an Uber driver who realized a hidden talent; and a TikToker in a home security ad. Meanwhile, for the opening monologe Rodrigo spoofed her debut single “driver’s license” by singing a song about going to the DMV.
