Stevie Nick’s performance at SNL
Ariana Grande shared the stage with another SNL performer, Stevie Nicks, who returned to the stage as a musical performer forty years after her last appearance.
On 12 October, Stevie Nicks appeared on Saturday Night Live as a guest, hosted by Ariana Grande, to sing some of her most popular songs. She opened with a new song, The Lighthouse, from her forthcoming self-titled 2024 album. She then sang her 1981 hit Edge of Seventeen.
Stevie had to deal with a technical problem during the second half of her performance. Although this was quickly rectified, the technical glitch caused her portrait to appear on the screen for a few moments, followed by some advertising.
However, the Rhiannon singer remained calm and gave an incredible performance, cheered on by the audience.
Stevie was dressed all in black for her performance, wearing a black velvet jacket, skirt, and boots. This was her second appearance on SNL since her last one in 1983.
