Watch Olivia Rodrigo play new song "begged" with Weyes Blood on SNL
Taking on both hosting and performing duties on last night's Saturday Night Live, it was up to Heated Rivalry's Connor Storrie to introduce Olivia Rodrigo for a brand new song from you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love, which featured Weyes Blood on backing vocals
Rodrigo played the song seated on a swing – a nod to the cover art for her third album which is released on 12 June, with Natalie Mering - aka Weyes Blood – singing backup. The lyrics included the lines "All that I want is to know undoubtedly that you just have eyes for me / All that I want is to sit here silently and watch movies on TV".
Rodrigo also played her current single "drop dead" with Blondie's Debbie Harry making a surprise appearance to introduce her. The song, released two weeks ago, is currently No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Elsewhere in the show, she monologued by revisiting her Disney Channel beginnings on Bizaardvark, and performed a parody "drivers license" around getting a real ID at the DMV.
