Katy Perry will perform on Saturday Night Live later this month, the show announced Tuesday (Jan. 18).
The multiplatinum pop superstar will join first-time host Willem Dafoe, who recently reprised his role of Green Goblin/ Norman Osborn in the 2021 blockbuster Spider-Man: No Way Home, on the Jan. 29-dated episode. This marks Perry’s fourth time performing on the show following her stints in 2010, 2013 and 2017.
But before she takes over Studio 8H for the late-night sketch comedy series, she’s been taking over The Theatre at Resorts World resort and casino for her first-ever Las Vegas residency, “Katy Perry:Play.” The global phenomenon also recently notched her fourth top 10 hit on Billboard‘s Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart with her latest club banger “When I’m Gone,” alongside DJ Alesso.
“Live from New York, it’s PLAY,” Perry wrote on Twitter while sharing the classic corkboard SNL post with her and Dafoe’s names pinned to it. “Can’t wait to bring my slice of Sin City to the Big Apple (and ur [TV]).”
