Ariana Grande Dazzles On SNL With New Album Performances

Ariana Grande

Ariana Grande graced the Saturday Night Live stage with a captivating performance of two songs from her latest album, Eternal Sunshine. The 30-year-old singer made her third appearance on SNL as the musical guest, showcasing 'We Can't Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)' and 'Imperfect for You' from her seventh studio album released on Friday.

Host Josh Brolin introduced Grande for both performances, setting the stage for an unforgettable night of music. During her first set, Grande delivered a soulful rendition of her track while seated in a home-like set, elegantly dressed in a black dress with a brown coat.

For her second performance, Grande donned a stunning nude-colored gown as she sang against an outdoor backdrop that transitioned from day to night on a virtual screen. The visual spectacle added an extra layer of artistry to her performance.

Earlier this year, Grande revealed the cover and title of her album, Eternal Sunshine, drawing inspiration from the 2004 film of the same name. The album features 13 tracks, including a special collaboration with her beloved grandmother, affectionately known as “Nonna.”

In a recent interview, Grande shared her initial reluctance to work on new music until after her involvement in the movie musical, Wicked. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, including production delays, Grande found herself back in the studio with renowned hitmaker Max Martin, leading to the creation of her latest musical project.

Grande's passion for her upcoming role as Glinda in the movie adaptation of Wicked is evident, with the star expressing her long-standing desire to be a part of the production. Her dedication and enthusiasm for the role shine through as she eagerly anticipates the premiere of the first part of Wicked in theaters this November.

Don't miss the electrifying performances and exciting updates from Ariana Grande by tuning in to Saturday Night Live, airing Saturdays at 11:30 p.m. ET on NBC.
