Rosalía performed ‘Reliquia’ and ‘Magnolias’ on last night (October 10), delivering two theatrical performances from her 2025 album ‘Lux’.

The singer was the musical guest on the third episode of the US sketch show’s 52nd season, hosted by comedian Shane Gillis.

For her first performance, Rosalía wore a black ballet tutu and remained almost entirely motionless as she sang ‘Reliquia’, standing en pointe for the duration of the four-minute song.

Towards the end, a group of dancers joined her on stage, with the performance culminating in a burst of strobe lighting.

Later in the episode, she returned for ‘Magnolias’, the closing track from ‘Lux’. This time dressed in white, she sang beneath an on-stage rain shower that began midway through the song, leaving her drenched by the end.

Rosalía also made a brief appearance in a comedy sketch, appearing in a thought bubble to encourage Gillis to abandon his sick mother’s bedside to attend a Jelly Roll concert at the Sphere in Las Vegas.

It was her second appearance as an musical guest, having previously performed ‘Chicken Teriyaki’ and ‘La Fama’ on the show in March 2022.

The performances followed the conclusion of Rosalía’s global ‘Lux’ tour, which included a five-star reviewed show at London’s O2 Arena in May.

also awarded ‘Lux’ five stars upon its release last November, describing it as an “astonishing record” that “continuously stops you dead in your tracks, encourages curiosity, and builds a new world for you to dive into”.

Earlier this week, Rosalía revealed that Bono had contacted her for advice about Spanish lyrics for ‘The Mirror Maker (Rosalía)’, a song written about her for U2‘s forthcoming album ‘Carnaval De Luz’.

‘Lux’ marked a dramatic musical shift for Rosalía, following her 2022 album ‘Motomami’, a sprawling, orchestral record featuring vocals in 13 different languages. Among its contributors was Daft Punk‘s Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, who co-wrote ‘Reliquia’.

The album also featured a collaboration with Björk on ‘Berghain’, which the pair performed together at the BRIT Awards in Manchester in February.

In May, Rosalía was named International Songwriter Of The Year at the Ivor Novello Awards, where she used her acceptance speech to call for more diverse voices in the music industry. She said she had created ‘Lux’ because she “found the world lacking in tenderness”, and urged the industry to make space for perspectives beyond those of “white middle class Europeans”.
