Spanish singer Rosalía delivered two captivating performances on "Saturday Night Live" (SNL) on October 10, 2026, showcasing tracks from her 2025 album, Lux. Hosted by comedian Shane Gillis, the episode featured Rosalía's unique blend of music and theatrical artistry.
For her first performance, Rosalía presented "Reliquia" while standing en pointe throughout the entire four-minute song. Dressed in a black ballet tutu, she remained almost entirely motionless, demonstrating remarkable poise and control. Towards the end, a group of dancers joined her on stage, culminating the performance with a burst of strobe lighting. (nme.com)
In her second performance, she sang "Magnolias," the closing track from Lux. Adorned in white, Rosalía performed beneath an on-stage rain shower that began midway through the song, leaving her drenched by the end. This visually striking presentation added an emotional depth to the performance. (nme.com)
Beyond her musical numbers, Rosalía made a brief appearance in a comedy sketch, appearing in a thought bubble to encourage Gillis to attend a Jelly Roll concert at the Sphere in Las Vegas. (nme.com)
This marked Rosalía's second appearance as an SNL musical guest, following her debut in March 2022. Her return to the SNL stage underscores her growing international acclaim and her ability to seamlessly blend music with performance art, leaving a lasting impression on audiences.
