LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Acclaimed singer-songwriter Olivia Rodrigo made a triumphant return to 'Saturday Night Live', adding unique twists to two of her chart-topping songs.
The young artist, at just 20 years old, reportedly graced the 'SNL' stage for the second time as a musical guest, sharing the spotlight with host Adam Driver, according to People magazine.
In this performance, she offered her fans a fresh interpretation of her songs 'Vampire' and 'All-American B****' that has left fans and critics alike in awe, with many describing Rodrigo as "like a mother and a total machine."

People magazine reports that Rodrigo commenced the evening with a heartfelt piano version of 'Vampire'. Dressed in a shimmering silver halter dress and sporting a sleek bun, she delivered the song’s melody with profound emotion.
Interestingly, she adorned her right hand with multiple rings that spelled out 'Guts' — the title of her sophomore studio album.
The stage was designed to resemble a dream, with blue mist enveloping the stage floor beneath the piano and numerous silver star cut-outs hanging from the stage ceiling.
For her subsequent performance, she escalated the drama. The stage initially appeared simple and pure, with Rodrigo, dressed in a high-neck pink gown, casually sipping tea behind a table laden with cakes and assorted treats.
However, as she reached the song’s chorus, she unveiled her edgier side, leaping onto and reclining on the table, slicing the cake with a knife, and dancing amidst the pastries as the lighting transitioned to mirror her mood.
The illumination shifted from a brilliant white to rapid red flashes, signifying the ensuing chaos.
To accentuate the lyrics, she even smeared some crimson cake on her face, dress, and white stockings — possibly a nod to the 'guts' theme of her album.
Upon concluding her performances, she cheekily stuck out her tongue at the cameras.
