Charli XCX finally performed as the musical guest on Saturday Night Live during this weekend’s episode hosted by Oscar Isaac. Watch the musical numbers below. The pop star first ran through a solo version of her single “Beg For You.” Sans Rina Sawayama — or recent remix collaborator VERNON of SEVENTEEN — the singer hit the stage in an all-white ensemble and long, talon-like nails, flanked by two giant hanging plastic sheets rather than backup dancers.

Charli XCX Comments on the Unfortunate but ‘Iconic’ Nickname Cardi B Gave Her
Ahead of her SNL appearance this weekend, Charli XCX stopped by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to reminisce about the time Cardi B made an unforgettable mistake with her name. “We did a song together with Rita Ora and Bebe Rexha,” the “Baby” singer said of their 2018 track “Girls.” “It was one of those scenarios where we never actually met when we made the song. We shot the music video separately, and we were sending verses and whatever.” Explore See latest videos, charts and news As she recalled to Fallon: “And then she tweets the song, and I’m like, “Oh my god, Cardi B tweeted my name!

Dominic Fike Releases Studio Version of That God-Awful Euphoria Song: Stream
Rather than addressing the missing child in that Jacobs family photo, the future of Cassie and Maddy’s friendship, or the $8,000 Rue still owes to a bone-chilling drug dealer, Sam Levinson decided to dedicate almost four minutes of the disastrous Euphoria Season 2 finale to Dominic Fike singing. For the crowd who kept hitting fast-forward during that threadbare scene, Fike has given “Elliot’s Song” a proper release today. Believe it or not, the official studio version of “Elliot’s Song” is only two minutes and 30 seconds — shorter than the version Fike’s character sang to Zendaya’s Rue in Euphoria. But despite its limited runtime, “Elliot’s Song” still seems to trudge on for way too long, using platitudinous lyrics in a futile attempt to make us swoon: “I hope it was worth i...

Eilish first released “When the Party’s Over” back in October 2018 as the second single off her smash 2019 debut album, WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO?. At the time, Bridgers was busy teaming up with Julien Baker and Lucy Dacus as Boygenius,...
Dua Lipa Surprises 80-Year-Old Superfan on Fallon: Watch
No matter how much you love Dua Lipa, nobody adores her quite as much as Papa Richy, a man who went viral on TikTok recently after his granddaughter gifted him tickets to the pop star’s “Future Nostalgia” Tour. But the 80-year-old superfan was in for an even more personal surprise when he got to meet Lipa during her appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Thursday night (March 3rd), and fulfilled his dream of getting to dance with her. “We reached out to [Papa Richy] pretending that we were a radio station in new York and told him that he won a contest for the number one TikTok video of the year — he believed this, he loved it,” Fallon explained to the audience. “He thinks he’s about to be interviewed on a radio show and get a tour of 30 Rock.” Shortly after, Richy and his ...

Performing New York’s Madison Square Garden “was surreal. It exceeded all my expectations,” she told Fallon when she stopped by The Tonight Show on Thursday. “Everyone rode the wave with me, it was amazing, they were all up for it, the floor was shaking.” If the place was bouncing, a throw-back dance move had a part to play.
