Halsey is making her big return to Saturday Night Live, except this time the singer is serving double-duty as both host and musical guest on Saturday.
The New Jersey native made her first big splash on SNL back in January 2018. The Hopeless Fountain Kingdom singer made a return to the sketch comedy show in November, when she performed with musical guest Lil Wayne.
While details surrounding Halsey's latest hosting gig have been kept under wraps—aside from the NBC show promo of the star prepping to do every SNL job, including being her own assistant—there's a possibility Halsey could debut a new song or two during her SNL appearance. The 24-year-old revealed she was back in the studio working on her third studio album in late January.
"I just started," she wrote in response to a fan question regarding new music. "Could be done quick. Could take a while. All I know is this is my favorite one yet so far."
