Harry Styles channeled Lord of the Dance in a hilarious St. Patrick’s Day–themed sketch on Saturday Night Live.

Pulling double duty as both host and musical guest during the late-night comedy show’s March 14 episode, the 32-year-old pop superstar appeared in a pre-recorded bit about a group of male friends who get an unexpected surprise while hitting the club.

The clip, titled “She’s an Irish Dancer,” opens with Styles smoothly crooning about partying in the VIP section with some girls who claim they’re dancers. “She says that she’s a dancer/ That means she’s a freak,” Styles sings.

After a bit of flirtation, one of the ladies (played by Chloe Fineman) pulls Styles aside for a private dance, only to reveal that she’s not the kind of dancer he expected. She then calls over her friends and breaks into over-the-top Irish dancing, complete with traditional costumes and headpieces, in full Riverdance-style fashion.

By the end, Styles has no choice but to “match their freak” before the scene cuts to him wearing a puffy, silky white shirt and black headband, proclaiming, “I’m about to go Lord of the Dance up in here.” Against a starry dark blue backdrop, he launches into an elaborate Irish-inspired routine, eventually joined by his friends on a foggy dancefloor.

The sketch concludes with Styles flashing a wink and wishing viewers a “Happy St. Paddy’s Day.”

Earlier in the show, Styles reflected on his time away from music during a hilarious opening monologue and later performed two tracks from his fourth album, Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally.

Harry Styles returned to Saturday Night Live on Saturday (March 14) for his second turn as host and musical guest, using his monologue to address years of queerbaiting allegations with a joke that brought down the house — and made headlines before the credits rolled.

In the monologue, Styles reflected on his time away from music following the end of his Love on Tour in 2023, joking that he had become “tremendously boring” and that people only pretended to find his hobbies interesting because of who he is.

He then pivoted to the queerbaiting discourse that has followed him throughout his career, noting that fans had fixated on his clothing choices and personal life.

After building to the punchline — in which repertory players Chloe Fineman and Sarah Sherman each appeared and left in dismay as Styles made increasingly pointed remarks about kissing — featured player Ben Marshall appeared onstage and Styles leaned in for a brief kiss.

“Now that’s queerbaiting,” Styles concluded with a wink.

The episode also featured a pair of high-profile surprise guests. Ryan Gosling appeared to introduce Styles’ first musical performance of the night, returning the favor after Styles crashed Gosling’s monologue during the previous week’s episode.

Paul Simon then introduced Styles’ second performance, with Styles performing “Coming Up Roses” from his new album at the piano — a fitting tribute given Styles has spoken publicly about Simon’s influence on his songwriting, including describing One Direction’s “Walking in the Wind” as a homage to Graceland.

Styles performed two tracks from his fourth studio album Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally — opening with “Dance No More” before closing with “Coming Up Roses.” The 12-track album, produced by Kid Harpoon and Tyler Johnson, was released on March 6.

Styles is supporting the album with the Together, Together Tour, a 50-show residency run across seven cities worldwide including Amsterdam, London, New York, Melbourne and Sydney.

It was Styles’ eighth overall appearance on SNL and his second time pulling double duty as host and musical guest, having first hosted during Season 45 in 2019. He is a three-time Grammy winner, taking home Best Pop Solo Performance for “Watermelon Sugar” in 2021 and both Best Pop Vocal Album and Album of the Year for Harry’s House in 2023.

“Tonight y’all will understand why I been here doing what I been doing and why they say the things about me,” Don Toliver promised newer fans in an interview with Billboard hours before taking The Stage at SXSW on Friday (March 13).

The hard work has paid off for Toliver, as 2026 has been a year of raising the bar. He earned his first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 with OCTANE, which arrived in late January, and saw all 18 tracks from the LP hit the Billboard Hot 100.

Following performances from openers like Chase B, Yakiyn and Sosocamo, Toliver hit the Moody Amphitheater stage shortly after 9:30 p.m. CT in front of nearly 5,000 raucous fans in Austin.

It was a victory lap of sorts for Toliver, who has been steadily climbing the ranks in rap’s food chain before making the quantum leap to join his mentor Travis Scott as part of the genre’s A-list with OCTANE.

Draped in a dove white jacket with matching pants and boots courtesy of designer Dingyun Zhang, the Texas native kicked off his set with a slowed-down intro riding into his OCTANE opener “E85.”

The temperature got turned up several notches on a mild Austin night with Toliver’s Justin Timberlake-sampling anthem “BODY” sending the crowd into a frenzy, which was followed by the moshpit-inducing nature of “OPPOSITE.”

With the 31-year-old on his fifth album, the anniversaries are starting to pile up. Friday also marked the sixth anniversary of Toliver’s Heaven or Hell, which was released just before the world shutdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020.

The Houston native thanked the fans for being on this ride with him and commemorated his debut’s anniversary by taking them back to Heaven or Hell staples like “Cardigan,” and finished the 75-minute set with “After Party.”

The crowd saw a mix of Gen-Z ragers and millennials filling the Moody Amphitheater, as Toliver jumped around his discography for his 2018 ASTROWORLD introduction “Can’t Say” to fan-favorites like “No Pole,” “Bandit” and “Lemonade.”

Fans were still rapping along to OCTANE deep cuts such as “TMU,” “Call Back” and “Pleasure’s Mine,” a testament to the project’s staying power (it remains in the Billboard 200’s top five).

It’s only a taste of what’s to come with Toliver’s OCTANE Tour, which will take over arenas across North America starting with his headlining set at Rolling Loud in May.

After making waves with his most recent album, DEPR</3$$ED MFKZ, his fifth release to reach No. 1 on the Regional Mexican Albums chart, Junior H joined the Billboard House @ SXSW on Saturday (March 14) to talk about vulnerability, his chart success and his future ambitions. The event — held at Mohawk Austin as part of the South by Southwest festival, where he sat down with Billboard‘s co-chief content officer Leila Cobo — served as a prelude to his headlining concert at the Moody Amphitheater for THE STAGE x SXSW, presented by Billboard.

Junior kept things laid-back, donning a striped, red-and-white long sleeve shirt paired with white sneakers, exuding his signature “sad boy” charm. “A ‘$ad Boy’ is practically the meaning behind all the music we’ve shared,” he explained. “It doesn’t mean I’m sad all the time, but that’s how my fans identified me… That’s how they made me, how they labeled me. You could say I’m the godfather of sad kids.”

That melancholic but honest identity has captivated fans across borders, making Junior H a voice for a new era of Mexican music. Yet fame did not come easy for the young artist. He recounted how his journey started in solitude, in his childhood closet, where he would record music unbeknownst to his busy parents.

“I worked, went to school, was busy all day, and still managed to save up some money to buy my first guitar, which I learned to play through YouTube. There are no excuses […] If you don’t put yourself out there, if you don’t do it, nothing will happen. You have to make it happen.”

Since those days of secret closet recording, Junior H’s music has become a very personal form of creative expression. He shared that many of his songs function as an emotional “diary” — reflections of his own experiences, an ode to love and heartbreak, and stories of those close to him. “I write and sing for myself. They are events that have happened in my life, my friends’ lives, anecdotes.”

The artist has become a prominent voice in conversations around vulnerability and masculinity in modern Mexican music, breaking away from the traditional “macho” stereotype often associated with the genre. When Cobo asked about the impact of his songs, Junior H was candid about the messages he receives from his followers.

“I feel like my fans have a strong connection with me. They open up, they share personal stories with me. There are a lot of people who need support. But the beautiful thing is seeing them embrace these kinds of feelings. There’s nothing wrong with feeling. Just because you’re a man, there’s nothing wrong with crying, you know. We all feel, we’re not made of plastic.”

Aside from his “$ad boy” identity, Junior H showed off his lighter side during the conversation, shedding light on a surprising obsession: Disney. “I’m always watching Disney, I’m a Disney fan. My favorite character is Mike Wazowski,” he revealed. “A lot of people think I’m emo… but if they knew how I am with my close friends, I’m very cheerful.”

While he’s busy leading $ad Boy Records and launching Gael Valenzuela’s career, Junior H remains laser-focused on his own artistry. With vaults of unreleased music — particularly corridos currently shelved due to government restrictions in Mexico — Junior H sees his career as fluid and adaptive. He also teased several possibilities for his next release, from a solo album to collaborations or even a covers project. “I have so much music saved […] about two albums, they’re practically aging, but I’m also working on new things. Very interesting new projects are coming.”

In addition to panel conversations all weekend, Billboard House is also hosting daily performers, with Karina Galicia, EddyJae, Mosmo, Oscar Ortiz, Lena Dardelet, Sofish, BrunoOG and Hermanos Espinoza taking the stage on Saturday’s day 2. DJ Cortez also provided daytime sounds for the space.

Doja Cat is opening up about her mental health struggles.

The 30-year-old pop star revealed through TikTok on Friday (March 13) that she has been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder (BPD).

“I’ve learned from a very young age to pretend that I like stuff, to pretend that I’m happy, to pretend that I don’t like stuff that I do, to appear like everything is okay,” Doja said in the video. “I’ll get it done. And it caught up with me, and I think it always does for people. I’m now struggling with BPD.”

Borderline personality disorder “is a mental health condition that affects the way people feel about themselves and others,” according to the Mayo Clinic. The condition can make it difficult to function in everyday life and “includes a pattern of unstable, intense relationships, as well as impulsiveness and an unhealthy way of seeing themselves.”

Doja added that she has been “struggling” with BPD for “probably forever” and that it has been “agonizing.” “I’ve been in therapy for years now, and I am so relieved and so proud of myself,” she said. “I’ve made it so far and I still make mistakes, but it is an eight-year process of curing, treatment and healing.”

This isn’t the first time Doja Cat has opened up about her mental health. The “Kiss Me More” singer told Rolling Stone in 2021 that she struggles with ADHD and dropped out of high school at 16 because of it.

“It felt like I was stuck in one spot and everybody else was progressing constantly,” she said at the time.

In her TikTok video, Doja also defended Chappell Roan following the artist’s recent run-in with paparazzi at Paris Fashion Week, praising her for staying true to herself.

“I had to learn how to be honest,” Doja said. “I had to learn how to be honest with myself. I lied to myself for years, for most of my life, and to see her sit there, and I love it. I love that she can do that without hurting people. She hasn’t hurt one person by being herself, and that shows that I can do the same.”

Doja added that she respects Roan for embracing her discomfort and standing up for herself. “She can be uncomfortable, comfortably in front of people, and protect herself and be honest,” Doja said.
