While Gomez has appeared on SNL as a musical guest in the past, she has never taken on hosting duties. Post Malone will join the show as well, for his debut as musical guest.
It’s been an exciting year for Gomez, as she is gearing up for the season 2 premiere of the hit Hulu series, Only Murders in the Building, on June 28. The “Rare” singer’s close friend Cara Delevingne will be joining the cast as Gomez’s love interest.
She also launched a new campaign called “Your Words Matter” about the importance of language for Mental Health Awareness Month. The initiative — which aims to “educate on the power of your words when talking about mental health,” according to a statement — is a partnership between Gomez’s makeup company Rare Beauty and Mental Health First Aid.
Watch her take on SNL this Saturday (May 14) at 11:30 ET/8:30 PT on NBC.
