Charli XCX brings the heat to 'SNL,' hosting and performing hit songs while declaring what is 'brat' or not! Dive in for all the hysterical highlights!

Charli XCX is officially the ‘It Girl’ of Saturday Night Live, and she proved it as she not only hosted the iconic sketch show but also dazzled as a musical guest! Fresh off her mega viral hit "Apple," the British pop sensation captured hearts with her infectious energy and quirky charm. With her undeniable genius, as noted by fellow artist Waxahatchee, Charli showcased her versatility on the SNL stage, flipping from live performance to sketch comedy in what felt like a breeze.

Not only did Charli XCX perform fan favorites like "360" and "Sympathy Is a Knife" from her Grammy-nominated album, Brat, she played a crucial role in some hilarious sketches, including a highly entertaining spoof of Chappell Roan’s song "Hot To Go" — proving that laughter and funkiness can go hand in hand! On top of that, Charli straight up declared what’s brat in her hilarious segments, giving us all a needed distinction on celebrities like Martha Stewart (definitely brat material!) and Kyle Mooney (sorry, not brat).

As if that wasn’t enough, Charli teamed up with Andy Samberg of The Lonely Island, hitting it out of the park with their comedic musical collaboration titled "I Report You to the Cops," which hilariously critiques suburbia's fascination with law enforcement. The famous duo made quite the impression in their digital short, prompting viewers to both laugh and groove. Charli’s brave and playful spirit shines through on the SNL stage, making her a perfect fit for midnight television mayhem!

In a world where artists juggle catchy tunes and comedic genius, Charli XCX stands out like a sparkling gem. The attention doesn’t look like it will vanish anytime soon, as she continues to ride the wave of her success and innovative artistry. Does anyone really know how to juggle like she does? Did you know? Charli XCX was a prominent feature ten years ago as a musical guest on SNL, marking her journey from indie darling to pop sensation. She’s also collaborated with a plethora of artists across genres, proving her versatility and cementing her status in the industry! Whether hosting a show or making beats in the studio, Charli XCX’s influence continues to grow day by day!
