Connor Storrie Introduces Olivia Rodrigo as She Debuts New Song on SNL

Olivia Rodrigo made a stunning appearance on Saturday Night Live, with Connor Storrie from “Heated Rivalry” introducing her for her second performance on the show. The highlight of the night was Rodrigo debuting a new, unreleased song from her upcoming album.

The track, titled ‘begged,’ was performed by Rodrigo while she sat on a swing, a visual that reflects the cover art of her third album, “you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love,” where she is depicted upside-down on a swing. Fans can expect the album to be released on June 12.

The song ‘begged’ is a poignant ballad that delves into themes of longing and uncertainty. Rodrigo’s soulful vocals express her desire for reassurance and connection, as she sings, “All that I want is to know undoubtedly that you just have eyes for me.” The lyrics further explore feelings of devotion and introspection, with Rodrigo lamenting, “What a shame you’re not here to witness my devotion and my endless well of needs.”

Collaborating once again with Dan Nigro, who worked with her on “Sour” and “Guts,” Rodrigo describes her new album as a collection of “sad love songs” that are written from a more reflective emotional standpoint.

Prior to her performance, Rodrigo took on the role of host for the night, reminiscing about her Disney Channel days on “Bizaardvark” in her opening monologue. She also treated the audience to a musical parody of her hit song “drivers license,” reimagined as a DMV story about obtaining a Real ID.

Rodrigo’s busy schedule also included a performance at Coachella alongside Addison Rae and a special one-night-only show at The Echo in Los Angeles. With the success of “Sour” and “Guts,” Rodrigo has quickly risen to prominence in the pop music scene, earning multiple Grammy Awards and Album of the Year nominations for both albums.
