Lady Gaga Shines on SNL: A Night of Music and Laughter

Lady Gaga steals the show on SNL with her performances and humor, showcasing her talent and charm.

An Unforgettable Night on SNL

Lady Gaga truly brought the house down last night (March 8) during her dual role as both host and musical guest on NBC’s Saturday Night Live. With her spectacular performances of “Abracadabra” and “Killah” from her latest album, MAYHEM, she captivated the audience while also participating in several music-themed sketches.

Keeping It Light with Humor

During her opening monologue, Gaga set a playful tone, humorously addressing the critical reception of her recent film, Joker: Folie à Deux. “I select films that would showcase my craft as a serious actor — films such as Joker 2. Apparently, people thought it was awesome,” she quipped. “Joaquin [Phoenix] and I even got nominated for a Razzie, which is an award for the worst films of the year. So, we won worst onscreen duo. But, joke’s on them. I love winning things. My Razzie brings me one step closer to an EGORT. It’s like an EGOT, but it’s hurtful.”

Gaga's witty banter not only showcased her comedic timing but also her ability to laugh at herself, something that resonates with fans.

A Nod to the New Generation

She didn’t shy away from poking fun at the changing landscape of pop music. “The last time I hosted SNL, I was 27. I’m 38 now, which is scientifically the best age for a female pop star to be. I see that most pop stars are over 40. Chappell Roan is 58. Charli xcx, she’s 75. Tate McRae is my biological grandmother,” she joked, reflecting on the impressive longevity of artists in today’s music industry.

Sketch Highlights

The sketches of the night were as entertaining as her musical numbers. One memorable skit featured a first-date scenario with Bowen Yang, parodying Eric Clapton’s classic “Wonderful Tonight.” Another highlighted a humorous collaboration between Gaga and Yang, advocating for the abolition of the annoyingly popular slang term “slay.”

In a delightful twist, Gaga donned a dazzling 1920s flapper outfit in a sketch that involved a darkly comedic take on insensitive staff at a funeral home.
