Katy Perry was the musical guest on last night’s episode of Saturday Night Live. She performed their song “When I’m Gone” with Alesso on a stage filled with giant dancing mushrooms. Perry also performed “Never Really Over” on the Willem Dafoe-hosted episode. Watch both performances below.
Perry and Alesso first shared “When I’m Gone” to kick off Perry’s residency at Resorts World Las Vegas. They debuted the track with a music video during ESPN’s broadcast of the 2022 College Football Playoff National Championship earlier this month. Perry released her last LP Smile in 2020.
It was revealed during last night’s episode that SNL will welcome back host John Mulaney on February 26 with musical guests LCD Soundsystem.
