The pop queen, dressed in all black, graced Saturday Night Live to bring out host/performer Bad Bunny
Last week, Taylor Swift dropped in on Saturday Night Live for its Season 49 premiere to introduce the night’s musical performer (and her onetime collaborator), Ice Spice. Her NFL boyfriend, Travis Kelce, also joined host Pete Davidson for a skit mocking the sport’s obsession with their high-profile union.
Not to be outdone, after a cold open featuring Bowen Yang as a baby-carrying George Santos, tonight’s second episode of the season saw Pedro Pascal cameo with host Bad Bunny during his cheeky monologue before popping up later for a redux of his overprotective Latina mom sketch.
And there was also Lady Gaga (and later, a certain Rolling Stones frontman).
Clad in all black, with black lipstick and her face obscured by giant shades, Gaga came out and, trying out her best Latina accent, shouted-out “Nueva York” and “Puerto Rico” before introducing Bad Bunny.
The musician performed a spirited rendition of “Un Preview” in front of a coin-operated rocking horse — the type you’d see on the streets of his native Puerto Rico, and one that also featured in his music video for the song.
At the conclusion of his performance, he softly petted the horse.
Later in the night, Bad Bunny was introduced by a pair of violinists before sitting atop a dining table surrounded by masked men in suits for a performance of his hit “Monaco,” before sipping a flute of champagne.
