Dua Lipa on SNL

Dua Lipa will host and perform as the musical guest on the May 4 episode of Saturday Night Live. Her upcoming album, Radical Optimism, will be released the day before. This marks her third appearance on the iconic show, but her first as host. She has been dipping a toe into the acting recently, with roles in films like Argylle and Barbie. Lipa recently spoke about the statement she’s trying to make with her new album. “I think for me, the importance of understanding that when things are bad, there’s always some light at the end of the tunnel,” she told Variety. “That’s just optimism. It’s probably the most daring thing we can do.”
