Cyrus, meanwhile, poked fun at headlines about her romantic relationships this week. She also teased an upcoming collab by setting the video The Kid LAROI's 2020 single, "Without You." Last month, she also celebrated the 15th anniversary of Hannah Montana with a letter to her iconic alter ego.

SNL last aired on April 10, with Carey Mulligan charming the audience with her fun opening monologue. Kid Cudi also made his debut a musical guest and made a splash with his bold performances and tributes.
