Cardi B brought both music and laughs to Saturday Night Live.

In addition to performing as the musical guest on the Jan. 31 episode, the 33-year-old rap star made a surprise cameo in the latest installment of the “Immigrant Dad Talk Show” sketch, joining Marcello Hernández as he complained about his children (mostly sons) alongside other immigrant fathers.

The skit opens with the lively, cigarette-smoking host Joaquin Antonio Gonzalez Suarez (played by Hernández) reassuring his white viewers not to worry about immigrants being deported in the U.S. “Don’t worry, we’ll be back,” he says with an exaggerated laugh.

He then welcomes his stoic Finnish neighbor Heikki, played by SNL host Alexander Skarsgård, who shows little emotion while coldly explaining how he would punish his son if caught smoking marijuana at school. “I’d kneel down, look into his soul, and say, ‘The shame is yours to live with,’” he says. Hernández’s character immediately contrasts with a completely different parenting style. “So you talk to him?” he asks. “I don’t talk, buddy. I shoot.”

Later, in a segment called “Arguing With Your Wife,” Hernández explains that he and his spouse “scream and scream and scream,” before it goes quiet and he asks, “You want to have sex with me, baby?” He usually receives a no. The host adds that he and his wife have a “beautiful relationship” and that he does whatever he wants because “it’s my house and it’s my rules.”

Just then, Cardi — wearing a colorful nightgown and hair curlers — bursts in, yelling at her husband and scaring off his guests. She sits down, snatches his cigarette and threatens to whack him with her pink sandal, scolding him for bringing unwanted visitors into their home.

The sketch closes with Hernández advising viewers to “do whatever your wife says,” while Cardi takes an angry puff from a cigarette.

Elsewhere during the episode, the Bronx rapper performed “Bodega Baddie” and “ErrTime” from her Billboard 200 chart-topping album, Am I the Drama? Check out the performances here.

Cardi B returned to Saturday Night Live to deliver a pair of tracks from her latest album, Am I the Drama?

The Bronx rap star took over Studio 8H on Saturday (Jan. 31), delivering electrifying performances of “Bodega Baddie” and “ErrTime” during the Alexander Skarsgård–hosted episode of the long-running sketch comedy series.

For her first performance, Cardi launched into the merengue- and dembow-influenced “Bodega Baddie,” filling the brightly lit stage with high-energy dancers and welcoming renowned Dominican accordionist El Prodigio for the celebratory set.

“It’s such a honor for me to perform on one of the most prestigious stages in America… SNL with THEE @elprodigiord!” she wrote on Instagram after the performance. “Bringing real Dominican sound, real Dominican culture, infused with the sounds and culture of the Bronx! Yall don’t understand I’m sooo happy!”

Cardi later returned to the stage backed by a crew of male dancers for a commanding performance of “ErrTime,” which is nominated for outstanding hip hop/rap song at the 2026 NAACP Image Awards.

Elsewhere in the episode, the superstar rapper also made a cameo in the “Immigrant Dad Talk Show” sketch alongside cast member Marcello Hernandez and host Skarsgård.

The appearance marked Cardi’s first time back on SNL since 2018, when she performed on an episode hosted by the late Chadwick Boseman and appeared in the pre-taped “Aidy B & Cardi B” sketch alongside Aidy Bryant.

Her return to 30 Rock also offered fans a preview of what’s to come on her upcoming Little Miss Drama Tour, which launches Feb. 11 at Acrisure Arena in Palm Desert, California. The 35-date North American arena run supports her 2025 sophomore album, Am I the Drama?, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in October.

The 2026 Grammy Awards are set to take place live on Feb 1, 2026, via CBS at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT. The award ceremony will feature some of the industry’s biggest names, hosted at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. Music fans won’t want to miss this year’s show, because the performances are just as moment-stealing as the awards and their nominees. Names like Lady Gaga, Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber, Pharrell Williams, Sombr, The Marias, Addison Rae, Katseye and Alex Warren, among others, are prepped to hit the stage, repping all types of genres, promising something for every viewer.

Some familiar faces to the Billboard charts are up for awards like Lady Gaga, Sabrina Carpenter, Doechii, Kendrick Lamar, The Weeknd, BLACKPINK’s ROSÉ, Bruno Mars, Tyler The Creator and Chappell Roan. Categories that we’ll be keeping tabs on include Record Of The Year, Song Of The Year, Best Pop Vocal Album, Best Rap Performance and, of course, the ever-polarizing Album Of The Year. The category is always a battleground for artists, but one has seemingly always made it out on top and that’s Taylor Swift. The singer currently has the most wins in that category with a total of four victories. Only time will tell if that impressive record of hers will be broken.

If you’re looking to tune into all the music action the glitzy night is sure to bring, which, if you’re reading Billboard, you likely are, then we’ll be showing you how you can watch the award show live for free below. Keep reading to find out more.

How to Watch the 2026 Grammy Awards Online for Free

As mentioned, the award show will air live on Feb. 1 on CBS. The official streamer of the show is Paramount+, but there are other ways to watch, which we will go into below.

Paramount+

The event is officially available via Paramount+’s Premium plan which includes CBS. A no-ads plan will run you $13.99 a month. Once the show airs, Premium plan holders will also be able to watch on-demand. Paramount+ Essential subscribers will not have the option to stream live, but will have access on-demand the day after the special airs. An Essentials subscription will run you $8.99 a month.

The subscription not only gives you access to watch the Grammys live, you’ll also be able to tap into a vast library with up to 40,000+ ad-free episodes and movies, including music-themed hits such as Love & Hip Hop: Miami, School of Rock, Lolla: The Story of Lollapalooza and much more. Paramount+ Premium plan holders will also be able to stream the service on three devices at once, gain access to SHOWTIME® Originals, download movies and shows and Stream CBS live, with more sports and events.

DIRECTV

If you’re looking to watch the show live, we implore you to also consider DIRECTV. All of DIRECTV‘s packages include access to CBS, however we’d suggest the ENTERTAINMENT package. This package is currently available for $89.99 a month and is perfect for those looking to tap into a slew of entertainment-based channels. If you’re unsure about committing to a new subscription, you can simply try the service out for free for five days, which will give you plenty of time to watch the two-hour special before canceling your subscription.

Fubo

Another way to watch the award show on CBS is via Fubo, which has a weeklong free trial available here. Fubo’s package includes a free DVR so you record the broadcast to watch all the performances back on-demand. Continue with one of Fubo’s streaming deals or cancel before your free trial is up to avoid being charged. See details here.

Hulu + Live TV

Another option for our readers is a Hulu + Live TV subscription, given that CBS is included in the live TV channel lineup. The service’s live package includes major networks along with MTV, like ABC, NBC and more for all your live TV viewing needs. A subscription to the service (with ads) will cost $89.99 per month, while the plan without ads goes for $99.99 per month.

This subscription gives you access to the titles in Hulu’s library, along with live TV programs 24/7. This is one of the more pricey plans on our list, however the bundle is well worth the price. This is thanks to the added Hulu titles, which include music-themed shows and movies like American Idol, The Voice, The Masked Singer, The Beatles: 8 Days a Week, Amy Winehouse: A Final Goodbye, Billie, Madonna and the Breakfast Club, Bad Rap, 69: The Saga of Danny Hernandez and more.

Lily Allen will return to Australia and New Zealand in 2026 for her first tour of the region since 2019, announcing a run of arena dates where she will perform her album West End Girl in full.

The British singer-songwriter will kick off the tour in Auckland on Oct. 21 before heading to Australia for shows in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Perth, wrapping the run on Nov. 1. All dates on the tour are licensed all-ages shows.

The announcement follows Allen’s renewed presence on Australian radio and charts, after West End Girl landed two tracks in triple j’s 2025 Hottest 100 countdown, with the title track placing at No. 88 and “Pussy Palace” reaching No. 38.

Allen described the tour as her biggest Australian headline run to date. Alongside performing West End Girl in full, the shows are expected to draw from her broader catalogue, which includes hits such as “Smile,” “The Fear” and “Not Fair.”

Tickets for the Australia and New Zealand dates go on sale at 1 p.m. local time on Monday, Feb. 9, with presales taking place in the days prior. Full details are available via the tour’s official website.

Allen last toured Australia in 2019, following the release of No Shame. Since then, she has remained largely off the road while continuing to release new music and make select live appearances.
