On Saturday, May 14, Selena Gomez hosted Saturday Night Live (SNL) for the first time, following her appearance as the musical host in 2016.
During her monologue, the pop star and actress spoke about the recent trend of finding love on SNL, where she quipped about being single.
"One reason I'm excited to host SNL is that I'm single — and I've heard SNL is a great place to find romance. Emma Stone met her husband here, Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost.
And Pete (Davidson) and Machine Gun Kelly. And because I don't really want to try the dating apps,
I'd like to put it out there and say I'm manifesting love and looking for my soulmate – but at this point I'll take anyone."
Selena Gomez's Disney channel co-star and long-term friend, Miley Cyrus, is a familiar face amongst the show's celebrity guests.
The 29-year-old singer has been in multiple episodes as a cast member and has hosted the show thrice.
Thus, in her monologue, Gomez disclosed that she had reached out to one of her "oldest friends," Cyrus, for advice on hosting.
