Ariana Grande & Kacey Musgraves Announced as Next ‘Saturday Night Live’ Music Guests

Ariana Grande and Kacey Musgraves will both promote their upcoming March album releases by performing on Saturday Night Live next month, the NBC late-night comedy show announced Tuesday (Feb. 20).

Musgraves will join Anyone But You actress Sydney Sweeney when she hosts the March 2 episode, while Grande will join host Josh Brolin on the March 9 episode.

Both artists are releasing new albums next month. Grande is set to drop her seventh album, Eternal Sunshine, on March 8, led by the Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 single “Yes, And?” Musgraves will release her sixth album, Deeper Well, on March 15, led by the title track.

Grande has appeared on SNL twice before: once as the musical guest in September 2014 and once pulling double-duty as both host and performer in March 2016. This will also mark Musgraves’ third time on the show, after she was the musical guest in May 2018 and October 2021.

As for the hosts, Sweeney will make her Saturday Night Live debut next month, while Brolin has hosted twice before: in October 2008 and April 2012.

This weekend’s previously announced lineup includes host Shane Gillis — a stand-up comic who was announced as a new SNL castmember in 2019 before having his job revoked after podcast clips featuring ethnic slurs surfaced — and musical guest 21 Savage, who released his No. 1 Billboard 200 album American Dream last month. It will mark the SNL debut for both.

Saturday Night Live airs Saturdays on NBC at 11:30 p.m. ET/8:30 p.m. PT and streams on Peacock.
