The 46th season of Saturday Night Live has featured performances from Phoebe Bridgers, Bad Bunny, St. Vincent, Kid Cudi, and others. Miley Cyrus is the musical guest on the upcoming May 7 episode of SNL.

This year, Olivia Rodrigo has released the singles “drivers license” and “deja vu.” The songs will appear on the singer-songwriter’s debut album SOUR, scheduled for a May 21 release.

Lil Nas X returned in March with “MONTERO (Call Me by Your Name).” He’s indicated that he’ll perform “MONTERO” and a new song on Saturday Night Live. Last month on SNL, there was a sketch that addressed the controversy surrounding Lil Nas X’s “MONTERO” video. The rapper was portrayed by Chris Redd.
