Dua Lipa And Troye Sivan’s Friendship Explored As The Youth Singer Makes A Cameo On SNL

On Saturday, May 4, 2024, Saturday Night Live Kicked off its final run of episodes for the latest season with Dua Lipa pulling double duty as host and musical guest. The British-Albanian pop singer delivered a close-to-perfect monologue and even managed to take a shot at ‘puppy killer’ Kristi Noem referencing the viral story of the South Dakota governor killing her dog.

As the show progressed, Singer Troye Sivan made a cameo alongside Jerry Seinfeld, introducing Lipa for her first musical performance of the night. As Dua Lipa has often credited Sivan for launching her career, it was only fitting that he showed up to support his friend during the big night. Dua Lipa, the opener and principal act of Troye Sivan’s 2016 Suburbia Tour, has maintained a close friendship with the Youth singer for years. Here’s a timeline of their friendship.

Dua Lipa and Troye Sivan first met in 2016 and grew close while touring together at the latter’s tour. Since then, they have consistently shown up to support each other. In 2018, Lipa took to Instagram to give her close friend and former tourmate Troye Sivan a shout-out for being featured on the cover of Billboard’s first-ever Pride issue, writing, “@troyesivan you are an absolute superstar!! First-ever cover of @billboard pride issue! Here’s to many more @billboardpride,”
