This weekend’s edition of “Saturday Night Live” featured a first-time musical guest.
Singer-songwriter Dua Lipa made her debut on the iconic Studio 8H stage.
Naturally, she performed her smash “New Rules.” A number one hit in the UK, “New Rules” has reached the Top 10 on the US Billboard Hot 100. It is also poised to spend a second week as US pop radio’s most-played song.
Later in the broadcast, Dua Lipa performed “Homesick.” Co-written with Coldplay’s Chris Martin, “Homesick” appears on Dua Lipa’s self-titled album.
Videos and photos of Dua Lipa’s inaugural “SNL” appearance follow. A photo from the “Goodnights & Credits” bit is also embedded:
