The 10 Best Moments From The #FallonStylesSNL Takeover
NBC

NBC all-star Jimmy Fallon and One Direction's newly solo Harry Styles teamed up to take on Saturday Night Live this weekend, and boy they did not disappoint.


Fallon and Styles formed a dream team of epic proportions, and proved they were the perfect choice of special guests for SNL's first truly live episode ever, broadcasting from coast to coast for the first time. From top-notch sketches to debuting brand new music, the #FallonStylesSNL experience was truly a sight to behold. Here are 10 of the night's best moments you do not want to forget.

1. Steve Bannon and Jared Kushner vied for President Trump's affections in this perfect cold open.

Of course, Jimmy came out on top.

2. Jimmy took a lively journey through studio 8H with his opening monologue performance of David Bowie's "Let's Dance."

Featuring a small guest appearance from a twirling lip-syncing Harry Styles.

3. Harry finally put his Mick Jagger tendencies to good use with this spot-on impression in "Celebrity Family Feud: Time Travel Edition."

4. While Jimmy gave us the gift of a double John Travolta.

Watching him transform between 1977 Travolta and 2017 Travolta was definitely one of the night's highlights, along with that impeccable, "Oh my God, Sandy."

5. Harry gave his first solo performance ever with a passionate rendition of his brand new #1 single "Sign of the Times."

He, and his lovely plaid suit, came to impress.

6. Melissa "Spicey" McCarthy returned to help us celebrate our last Easter on Earth.

Thanks to a brewing nuclear war with North Korea, the future of Easter is a little muddled.

7. Jimmy traveled back to the Civil War to help the Union Army create the nation's first "big, fat hook" in a song.

"Oh, oh, oh, it's a party at my parents' house!"

8. While Harry, a Confederate prisoner, contributed his own artistic ideas to the cause.

"You know what would sound good? Uh, if ya'll did a bridge after that part."

9. Kate McKinnon had us rolling with her impeccable Kristen Stewart impression.

"I don't know dude, I just, I don't know."

10. And we were treated to a performance of Harry's never-before-heard song, the aptly named, "Ever Since New York."

ALSO: HE PLAYS GUITAR NOW?!

The first ever live episode of SNL was definitely one for the books. It was heartwarming to see Jimmy Fallon back in action at his old stomping ground, and hey, now we all know what to expect from Harry Styles' upcoming acting career. Congratulations on a job well done, boys.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
