On which television program did Olivia Rodrigo premiere “begged” before her album’s release?

Olivia Rodrigo premiered “begged” on Saturday Night Live before releasing You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love.

She performed the song during her Saturday Night Live appearance on May 2, 2026. The performance took place before the album’s June 12 release, giving viewers an early presentation of one of its tracks.

Rodrigo also performed “drop dead” during the same SNL appearance. “drop dead” was already the album’s lead single, while “begged” was introduced as an unreleased song from the forthcoming record.

Saturday Night Live is an American live television sketch-comedy program broadcast by NBC. Rodrigo’s appearance was notable because she served as host and performed music, placing the debut within a broader episode rather than a standalone concert or music-video premiere.
