Dua Lipa Season has started. On the heels of releasing her latest full-length album, Radical Optimism, the Grammy winner will celebrate by hosting Saturday Night Live this weekend. Along with hosting for the first time, the “Training Season” superstar will also pull double duty and return to the Studio 8H stage as the night’s musical guest.
Earlier in the week, Lipa appeared in a teaser clip alongside SNL cast member Chloe Fineman, who offered up a hilarious imitation of the singer and a unique spin on Lipa’s lyrics for “Levitating” from Future Nostalgia. “I’m really feeling the Dua spirit,” Fineman jokes, before Lipa offers up the chance to perform as the musical guest for the episode. “I’m gonna go and grab dinner,” Lipa says, leaving Fineman on her own.

While Hulu has previously offered free trials for its base packages, the streaming service hasn’t promoted a free trial for Hulu + Live TV in ages. That’s all in the past, though, as viewers can now watch SNL online for free with a three-day Hulu + Live TV free trial. After the trial ends, new subscribers will have to pay the standard $76.99 a month for the ad-supported plan if they decide to continue their subscription. The plan includes access to local networks, including NBC, along with 95+ channels.
