Phoebe Bridgers performed two tracks from her acclaimed album, Lost Weekend, Saturday on SNL.
Bridgers opened with “Bobby,” a reflection on her relationship with comedian Bo Burnham, who co-wrote and sings on the track.
Other contributors to the 16-song
album include fellow Boygenius members Julien Baker and Lucy Dacus, as well as Jack Antonoff and Geese frontman Cameron Winter. The finished product is the 32-year-old singer-songwriter’s “longest and most daring record yet, a tour de force in the art of disappearing, falling in love, and feeling grief so deeply that waking up every day kind of sucks,” Rolling Stone‘s Angie Martoccio wrote in a review. It reached the top spot on several charts, including Billboard’s top Independent Albums in the U.S.
Bridgers’ second performance was of “Still Standing,” a response to the loss of her father in 2023.
Bridgers’ SNL appearance comes a few days after she released her “Live at Madison Square Garden” EP, featuring five songs from Lost Weekend.
Later this month, Bridgers begins an eight-country European tour in support of Lost Weekend. Next year, The Lost Tour 2027 in North America runs from February through May, and includes two weekends at Coachella in April. She will also be a headliner at Iowa’s three-day Hinterland Music Festival in late July.
Bridgers debuted on SNL in February 2021, playing “Kyoto” and “I Know the End” from Punisher, which earned the 10th spot on Rolling Stone‘s list of the best albums of 2020. Bridgers returned in November 2023 when Boygenius performed two tracks from their debut studio album, The Record, an instant classic.
