Lady Gaga Hosts and Performs on SNL, Balancing Humor and Music

The pop icon showcased tracks from her new album 'Mayhem' and poked fun at her role in the critically panned 'Joker: Folie à Deux.'

Lady Gaga served as both host and musical guest on Saturday Night Live, marking her first hosting appearance since 2013.
She performed two songs, 'Abracadabra' and 'Killah,' from her newly released album 'Mayhem,' featuring dynamic choreography and bold costumes.
In her opening monologue, Gaga humorously addressed the poor reception of 'Joker: Folie à Deux,' in which she starred as Harley Quinn, and joked about winning a Razzie Award for 'worst onscreen duo.'
The episode included surreal and eccentric comedy sketches that leaned into Gaga's unique energy, such as a musical number about a mouse and a parody of a romantic scene with absurd twists.
Gaga also reflected on past controversies, including a 2013 SNL performance with R. Kelly, jokingly acknowledging its problematic legacy while emphasizing her evolution as an artist.
