Lyrics ella mai trip6/18/2023 ![]() Ella Mai's European tour ends on 22nd January in Stockholm. See all the dates here.Kanye West and Lil Pump as Perrier and Fiji, respectively, as Adele Givens looms overhead. Saturday Night Live's 44th season ended over the weekend with the help of host Paul Rudd and musical guest DJ Khaled, who brought with him an all-star cast that included J Balvin, John Legend and SZA. As the season's 21st and final featured musical guest, Khaled joined a wildly mixed bag that included K-pop (BTS), blues-rock (Gary Clark Jr.), country (Thomas Rhett), R&B (Khalid, Ella Mai), hip-hop (Lil Wayne, Travis Scott, et al), neo-classic rock (Greta Van Fleet), old-school-classic folk-pop (Paul Simon) and, of course, a performance in which Kanye West rapped from inside an outfit shaped like a gigantic Perrier bottle. SNL's Studio 8H stage is famously unforgiving: The sound can be iffy, the crowd came to see comedy and the energy can be hard to maintain. But, as with previous years, Season 44 unveiled a few gems, as well as a few true head-slappers. It's a fool's errand - a truly cruel and pointless exercise - to attempt a dispassionate rank of 21 vastly different musical performances, especially when they've been spread out over an eight-month-long season.
