Dua Lipa<\/strong> has ascended to that rare level of pop stardom where she gets to both host and perform on Saturday Night Live.<\/em><\/p>\n

During the April 13 episode of the show, Dua\u00a0was announced<\/a> as the special guest for the May 4 episode. On Instagram, she wrote<\/a>, “DOUBLE DUTY DUA!!!!!!!!”<\/p>\n

Dua’s new album Radical Optimism<\/em> is out the day before, May 3. So far, she’s released three songs from the project: “Houdini,” “Training Season” and “Illusion.”<\/p>\n

Dua has had some acting experience since the last time she appeared on Saturday Night Live<\/em> back in 2020. She had a cameo in Barbie<\/em>, and a more substantial part in the comedy spy movie Argylle<\/em>.<\/p>\n

It was fitting that Dua’s appearance on the show was announced April 13, because the episode was hosted by her fellow Barbie<\/em> actor Ryan Gosling<\/strong>, and featured a guest appearance<\/a> by Kate McKinnon<\/strong>, who was also in Barbie<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Dua now joins the ranks of pop stars who’ve hosted and performed on SNL<\/em>, including Taylor Swift<\/strong>, Justin Timberlake<\/strong>, Britney Spears<\/strong>, Janet Jackson<\/strong>, Bruno Mars<\/strong>, Elton John<\/strong>, Ariana Grande<\/strong>, Lizzo<\/strong> and Lady Gaga<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
