Last night marked Billie Eilish’s third captivating performance on Saturday Night Live. Showcasing her hit from “Barbie the Album,” “What Was I Made For?” she was accompanied by the talented Finneas on piano. The introduction was charmingly done by Greta Gerwig and host Kate McKinnon, who both also shined in musical sketches alongside Maya Rudolph and Kristen Wiig. Adding a festive touch, Eilish rendered a heartfelt rendition of the Judy Garland holiday classic, “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.” The episode’s highlights are available for viewing below.
Eilish’s appearance was more than just her soulful songs. She showcased her versatility in the whimsical musical sketch “Tampon Farm” and the quirky “Whiskers R We,” where she and McKinnon ran a cat shelter sporting matching glasses and perms. Following the footsteps of Olivia Rodrigo, Noah Kahan, Tate McRae, and Boygenius, Eilish’s guest appearance was a hit. Her last SNL visit was back in 2021, pulling double duty as host and musical guest, while her initial debut was in 2019 with host Woody Harrelson.
Eilish’s “What Was I Made For?” is a critical darling, boasting five Grammy nominations for 2024, including Song of the Year, Record of the Year, Best Pop Solo Performance, Best Song Written For Visual Media, and Best Music Video. It’s also in the running for a Golden Globe for Best Song in a Motion Picture.
