Katy Perry All Set to Perform on ‘Saturday Night Live’ Later This Month

Katy Perry will appear on Saturday Night Live again later this month, as the musical guest for the show’s January 29 edition. Perry will appear on SNL for the fourth time, following performances in 2010, 2013, and 2017. The episode will be hosted by actor Willem Dafoe.

Perry announced the news on Twitter, indicating that the performance would be based on her current Las Vegas residency, PLAY. “Can’t wait to bring my slice of Sin City to the Big Apple,” she wrote.

Perry’s Las Vegas residency began on December 29 and will run until mid-March at The Theatre at Resorts World resort/casino. Perry rolled out a 16-foot-tall toilet, rode a big snail, and more on the show’s opening night.

Perry performs a career-spanning set that includes songs like ‘California Gurls,’ ‘Hot n Cold,’ ‘Waking Up in Vegas,’ ‘I Kissed a Girl,’ ‘Teenage Dream,’ ‘Roar,’ and more, as well as her current Alesso collaboration ‘When I’m Gone.’

Another scheduled musical guest on Saturday Night Live is Eurovision 2021 winners Måneskin, who will make a debut performance on the show this Saturday (January 22), with actor Will Forte hosting. Last weekend, Jack Antonoff’s Bleachers performed ‘How Dare You Want More’ alongside his father and the Bruce Springsteen duet ‘Chinatown’ on the inaugural Saturday Night Live of 2022.
