Taylor Swift returned to Saturday Night Live last night to play two songs from her new record Lover. She did “False God,” as well the album’s title track. Taylor played a stripped down solo piano version of “Lover” in a bright green room surrounded by floating sheet music. For “False God,” she was accompanied by a drummer, saxophonist, and back-up singers. Tonight marked the first time Tay has performed “False God” live. Swift last performed on SNL in November 2017. Check it out below.
Fleabag star and creator Phoebe Waller-Bridge hosted tonight’s episode of SNL. She recently picked up Emmy Awards for Outstanding Comedy Series, Outstanding Lead Actress, and Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series. Watch Waller-Bridge and Taylor Swift’s promo for the episode below, too.
Season 45 of Saturday Night Live kicked off last weekend with an episode hosted by Woody Harrelson. Billie Eilish was the musical guest. She played “bad guy” and “i love you.”
