Watch Willow Perform "Curious/Furious" and "Ur a Stranger" on 'Saturday Night Live'

The 21-year-old artist took the 'SNL' stage just a day after releasing her fifth studio album, 'COPINGMECHANISM.' She performed her latest single.

Willow is becoming a familiar face at Studio 8H.

The 21-year-old singer-songwriter made her Saturday Night Live debut back in April, when she joined Camila Cabello for a performance of “Pyschofreak.” Less than six months later, Willow returned to the SNL stage to serve as the second musical guest of season 48, following a stellar performance by Kendrick Lamar.

“I’m honestly really, really surprised that I’m going to be on SNL twice in one year, five months apart,” she told Apple Music 1’s Zane Lowe this week. “That’s crazy. I’m really excited. I’m nervous obviously, because being with Camila—a really, really good friend of mine—there’s that feeling of comfortability there where you can look across the stage and be like, ‘Girl, we’re in this together. We’re doing this.’ I’m not baring my soul alone on the stage. But now it’s going to be me baring my soul alone on the stage, and I’m just so grateful and so excited, but also shitting my pants slightly.”

Despite her nerves, Willow pulled off the gig impressively, delivering a moody performance of “Curious/Furious” from her album COPINGMECHANISM.

For her second song, she performed “Ur a Stranger.”


The songs appeared on COPINGMECHANISM, the follow-up to her 2021 album, lately I feel EVERYTHING. The project spanned 11 tracks and include contributions by Yves Tumor, Asher Bank, Chris Greatti, and GRANDMA.
