Lady Gaga Delivers Eccentric Performances as Host and Musical Guest on SNL

The pop icon showcased her theatrical flair with bold musical acts and surreal comedy sketches promoting her new album, 'Mayhem.'

Lady Gaga returned to Saturday Night Live as both host and musical guest, marking her second time in this dual role and promoting her latest album, 'Mayhem.'
Her musical performances of 'Abracadabra' and 'Killah' featured elaborate choreography, striking costumes, and a commanding use of the studio space.
Gaga's comedic sketches leaned heavily into absurd and surreal humor, with standout moments including a zany romantic farewell involving motorized luggage and a heartfelt ballad to a bullied mouse named Pip.
The episode included a mix of live and pre-recorded sketches, with Gaga's dedication to embracing the bizarre elevating segments like 'Wonderful Tonight,' a parody duet with Bowen Yang that blended nostalgia and offbeat humor.
While some sketches, like the 1920s-themed funeral pitch, felt less impactful, Gaga's charisma and willingness to take creative risks defined the night.
