Charli XCX pulled double-duty as host and musical guest on last night’s episode of Saturday Night Live. This was Charli’s first time hosting and third performing, after appearances in 2014 and 2022. She sang the BRAT tracks “360” (introduced by Julia Fox) and “Sympathy is a Knife” (introduced by Bowen Yang), and starred in sketches as Victoria Beckham, a producer for a bro podcast, and a commercial acting teacher’s star student. Charli was also featured in a cut-for-time Please Don’t Destroy video, which is now on YouTube. Check out all of her sketches and performances below.
SNL shared two promos in advance of Charli’s appearance. In one, she had a conversation with Chloe Fineman using only the word “Brat”; in the other, she revealed her “real name”—“Charleston 10-100-10”—alongside Marcello Hernandez. Watch both of those below, too. In October, Charli shared the remix album Brat and it’s completely different but also 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 currently in its 50th season. Recent musical guests have included Billie Eilish, Chappell Roan, and Mk.gee.
