Although having a prosperous career in music, Grande will only host SNL tonight. With no double duty for Grande, the show will welcome none other than the iconic Stevie Nicks for the second time. For those who might be trying to remember, the last time Nicks made it on SNL was during the 1980s. With decades passing, the night is sure to be memorable not only for fans but for Nicks.

With a lineup featuring both Grande and Nicks, tonight’s episode of SNL is a must-watch. A part of the historic Fleetwood Mac, Nicks discussed her time in the spotlight and the sudden passing of her friend Christine McVie back in November 2022. Discussing her late friend, Nicks said, “She was like my soul mate, my musical soul mate, and my best friend that I spent more time with than any of my other best friends outside of Fleetwood Mac.”
Although exploring new music and appearing on SNL, Nicks insisted, “Without Christine, no can do. There is no chance of putting Fleetwood Mac back together in any way. Without her, it just couldn’t work.”
While not looking to put the band back together, Nicks continued to honor the legacy of Fleetwood Mac and McVie. “Fleetwood Mac is all over my set. Now that there is no more Fleetwood Mac, that opens the door for me to do other songs, like The Chain, that I’ve never done [solo]. I will keep the music of Fleetwood Mac alive, for as long as I can.”
Don’t miss Nicks and Grande on tonight’s episode of Saturday Night Live, airing tonight at 11:30 p.m. ET/PT on NBC and available to stream on Peacock.
