Following up on last week’s Bad Bunny feature, Season 49 of Saturday Night Live continues its stacked lineup of hosts, performers and surprise guests. With Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce appearing in this season’s Pete Davidson-and-Ice Spice-led premiere, and Pedro Pascal and Lady Gaga showing up in Benito’s episode, Foo Fighters kept the surprise guest momentum going, bringing out H.E.R. for the band’s performance of “The Glass.”
Christopher Walken introduced the band for its first televised appearance since Taylor Hawkins‘s death in 2022, leading with But Here We Are‘s opening track, “Rescued.” H.E.R. then joined the Dave Grohl-fronted band for its second song, “The Glass,” on which the songstress contributed vocals and electric guitar alongside Grohl. “There is something between us / Between me and you / There is something between us / I see right through,” the duo harmonizes on the chorus.
Grohl also appeared in two skits throughout the episode, which ended with a silent tribute to Matthew Perry. It was also revealed that next week’s episode will see the likes of Timothée Chalamet and boygenius.
Watch the full performances of “Rescued” and “The Glass” above.
Elsewhere in the music world, Kendrick Lamar re-recorded his “Bad Blood” verse for Taylor Swift’s 1989 (Taylor’s Version) re-release.
