Rosalía was the musical guest on Saturday Night Live on Oct. 10, performing “Reliquia” and “Magnolias” from her 2025 album Lux. She also appeared in a sketch about Shane Gillis’s character wanting to leave his dying mother to see Jelly Roll and Teddy Swims at the Sphere.
Rosalía returned to Saturday Night Live as musical guest on Oct. 10, performing “Reliquia” and “Magnolias” from her 2025 album Lux and appearing in a sketch built around Shane Gillis’s character hoping to see Jelly Roll and Teddy Swims at the Sphere. Gillis hosted the episode.
Rosalía performed “Reliquia” en pointe, then sang “Magnolias” in a rain-soaked staging, according to Stereogum’s account of the episode. Both songs are from Lux, released in 2025. The performances marked her first time as a musical guest on the show since March 2022; she had also joined Bad Bunny during his 2021 appearance.
She appeared in a separate sketch in which Gillis played a man reluctant to stay with his dying mother because he wanted to attend a show by Jelly Roll and Teddy Swims at the Sphere. Ben Marshall played Jelly Roll, Marcello Hernández played Cool Jesus, and Rosalía played a recent divorcée seeking “a man to roll this jelly,” as described in the report.
Another sketch featured Gillis and cast member Mikey Day in a Dr. Seuss-inspired scene involving green eggs and ham. Gillis said an uncensored swear word during the live East Coast broadcast, after which the characters began fighting. Day’s character told him, “I want you out of this house. You’re a loser,” then added, “And you said a bad word.” Stereogum reported that Gillis apologized for the slip during the goodnights.
Rosalía Pairs New Songs With Comedy
The episode gave Rosalía a high-profile television showcase for two songs from Lux while placing her in a comic role beyond the musical performances. The staging of “Reliquia” and “Magnolias” also made the appearances distinct: one performance used pointe work, while the other was staged in rain.
For viewers following the album, the SNL set brought two tracks to a broad broadcast audience. The sketch, meanwhile, linked the singer to the episode’s comedy through an appearance alongside Gillis and cast members, rather than limiting her role to the musical portions.

Her Previous SNL Appearances
Rosalía last performed as a musical guest on SNL in March 2022. She had also joined Bad Bunny’s performance on the program in 2021, making the Oct. 10 episode her return as a featured performer after those earlier appearances.
Gillis’s hosting history with the show has also drawn attention. SNL hired him as a cast member in 2019, then dismissed him before his first appearance after backlash over racist remarks he had made on a podcast. The source report notes that he later hosted the Oct. 10 episode; it does not provide further details about the show’s decision to book him.
Stereogum also noted two upcoming releases connected to Rosalía: a collaboration with Fontaines D.C. expected the day after the episode and a U2 tribute song to her expected the following month. The report did not provide release details beyond those timelines.
