What's Happening?
Olivia Rodrigo is set to host Saturday Night Live (SNL) for the first time, also performing as the musical guest. The new SNL promos recall her being named Billboard's Woman of the Year in 2022, a title
that was humorously doubted by SNL cast member Ashley Padilla. Rodrigo, who gained fame with her hit 'drivers license,' is promoting her upcoming third studio album, 'You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love,' with its lead single 'Drop Dead' debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. The SNL episode will air on NBC and stream on Peacock.
