Charli XCX Joins Ariana Grande’s Viral ‘Domingo’ Sketch on SNL With Julia Fox Cameo

On Saturday Night Live’s latest broadcast, Charli XCX performed as both host and musical guest, showcasing her comedic abilities. The 32-year-old singer took part in a number of sketches during the evening, including a humorous reenactment of the widely shared ‘Domingo’ sketch that Ariana Grande first did in October while hosting Saturday Night Live.

In the original ‘Bridesmaid Speech’ sketch, Grande portrayed a bridesmaid who was singing off-key to ‘Espresso’ by Sabrina Carpenter because she was having trouble hitting her notes. Together with Sarah Sherman, Heidi Gardner, and Ego Nwodim, they sang a funny song about their bachelorette celebration. In Charli XCX’s rendition, ‘Babymoon,’ the sketch was modified to include Chloe Fineman as a pregnant bride attending her baby shower.

A somewhat off-key rendition of Chappell Roan’s ‘Hot To Go,’ performed by Charli, Gardner, Nwodim, and Sherman, humorously suggested that Domingo, a figure also mentioned in Grande’s original skit, might have been the father of the bride’s child.

The song ‘360,’ which Charli XCX sang during her musical performances, featured a special appearance by Julia Fox, whose name was humorously inserted into the lyrics. ‘Sympathy is a Knife,’ a song from Charli’s Brat album that she remixed with Ariana Grande, was also performed.

Charli also made an appearance in a number of other sketches, such as one in which she played Victoria Beckham in an ‘It Girl Thanksgiving Special’ and another in which she mimicked Adele in a parody titled ‘Wicked Auditions.’ After appearances in 2014 and 2022, this was Charli XCX’s third appearance as an SNL musical guest.

In addition to releasing a remix of her Brat album with Ariana Grande, Billie Eilish, and Lorde, Charli recently concluded her Sweat Tour with Troye Sivan.
