Rosalía brought theatrical flair to Studio 8H.
The Spanish singer-songwriter returned to Saturday Night Live on Oct. 11 to deliver two striking performances from her fourth studio album, LUX .
Following an introduction from host Shane Gillis, Rosalía opened with “Reliquia,” delivering a ballet-inspired performance that appeared to keep her en pointe for nearly its entirety. The singer trained with a professional ballerina to prepare for the choreography featured on her LUX tour.
Dressed in a dark, ballet-inspired outfit, Rosalía delivered the song — which reached the top 10 on Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs chart in November 2025 — as shadows of orchestral musicians played across the flowy curtain behind her.
For her second performance, Rosalía took to the dimly lit stage in a sheer gown to sing “Magnolias,” the devastating closing track from LUX . Halfway through the performance, in-studio rain began to pour over the singer as she finished the song.
The appearance marked Rosalía’s second time as a musical guest on SNL . She made her debut in 2022 , performing “Chicken Teriyaki” and “La Noche de Anoche” from her album MOTOMAMI . She also made a cameo during Bad Bunny’s 2021 appearance on the show, when the pair performed “La Noche de Anoche.”
Released to widespread attention, LUX made a strong debut on the Billboard charts, entering the Billboard 200 at No. 4. The album also debuted at No. 1 on five Billboard charts, including Top Latin Albums, Classical Albums, Classical Crossover Albums and World Albums.
Rosalía recorded LUX in 13 languages, a creative approach that helped the album reach audiences across multiple musical genres, including classical and classical crossover.
