Global music sensation Rosalía captivated the Saturday Night Live audience on October 10, 2026, with a mesmerizing performance of two tracks from her latest album, ‘Lux.’ The Spanish artist delivered powerful renditions of “Reliquia” and “Magnolias,” showcasing her distinctive artistic presence and vocal prowess.
The performance marked Rosalía’s second time as the musical guest on the iconic sketch comedy show. Her debut appearance was in March 2022, during which she promoted her album ‘Motomami.’ This return highlights her continued impact on the international music scene and her unique ability to connect with a broad audience.
During her rendition of “Reliquia,” Rosalía performed on pointe, a demanding classical ballet technique, adding a layer of artistic sophistication to her performance. Reports indicate that the staging for her performances, particularly “Magnolias,” featured a dramatic effect of falling rain, creating a visually stunning and immersive experience for viewers.
Rosalía’s appearance on SNL comes at a pivotal moment in her career, with the Grammy Awards voting deadline for nominations approaching on October 12, 2026. Her performances are seen by some as a potential boost for any last-minute consideration for nominations, particularly for her critically acclaimed album ‘Lux.’ The album itself has been noted for its expansive, genre-bending sound, incorporating orchestral arrangements and drawing from diverse influences, which has earned it considerable critical attention and commercial success, including a debut in the top 10 of the Billboard 200.
The episode, hosted by comedian Shane Gillis, aired live on NBC and was also available for streaming on Peacock. Rosalía’s presence on SNL underscores her growing international fame and her consistent ability to deliver impactful live performances that resonate with fans and critics alike.
