Before Olivia Rodrigo kicks off her Guts tour in February, the “Lacy” singer will be the musical guest on Saturday Night Live, hosted by Adam Driver. Whether or not you still need to get tickets to her tour, you can see her perform live when she joins the comedy skit show on Saturday (Dec. 9) on NBC at 11:30 p.m. ET.
This will mark the second time Rodrigo has joined SNL as a musical guest, which means you can most likely expect to hear songs from her latest album from the comfort of your couch — instead of throwing on her stylish Sony LinkBuds and streaming from your smartphone.
Those without cable don’t have to miss out or wait until short snippets are posted on TikTok and YouTube the next day. With free trials on fuboTV and DIRECTV Stream, NBC is available to stream live online from any device.
Other guests that are slated to host and be musical guests on the show this season include Kate McKinnon as host and Billie Eilish as musical guest on Dec. 16.
