Billie Eilish made her SNL debut last night (September 28) – and she made it a performance to remember.
Hosted by Woody Harrelson, the first episode of the popular NBC comedy series’ 45th season saw Eilish perform her hit song ‘bad guy’ inside a small rotating set that made it appear as if she was walking on walls and dancing on the ceiling.
‘bad guy’ recently helped Eilish make history. The song has put her in rarefied company, joining Alanis Morissette and Sinead O’Connor as the only female soloists to notch multiple No. 1 singles on Billboard‘s Alternative Songs list since its inception 31 years ago.

Later, Eilish returned to perform an acoustic version of ‘i love you’ with her brother Finneas O’Connell. Less a visual spectacle and more a display of Eilish’s vocal talent, you can watch the performance below.
