Harry Styles returned to Saturday Night Live as host and musical guest, using his monologue to address queerbaiting allegations with a joke that brought down the house. He reflected on his time away from music, joking that he had become “tremendously boring” and that people only pretended to find his hobbies interesting because of who he is. Styles then pivoted to the queerbaiting discourse, noting that fans had fixated on his clothing choices and personal life, before sharing a brief kiss with featured player Ben Marshall, concluding with a wink, “Now that’s queerbaiting”.
Styles performed two tracks from his new album, opening with “Dance No More” and closing with “Coming Up Roses”. The episode also featured surprise guests Ryan Gosling and Paul Simon, with Styles supporting his new album with the Together, Together Tour. This was Styles’ eighth overall appearance on SNL and his second time pulling double duty as host and musical guest, having first hosted during Season 45 in 2019. Styles is a three-time Grammy winner, taking home awards for “Watermelon Sugar” and Harry’s House in 2021 and 2023.
