Hozier returned to Saturday Night Live for the NBC program’s final pre-Christmas episode of 2024. He first played “Too Sweet,” which former President Barack Obama recently named one of his favorite songs of the year. The Irish musician then did the Pogues’ holiday classic “Fairytale of New York.” Watch Hozier’s SNL performances below.
Hozier made his Saturday Night Live debut in 2014, playing his breakout hit “Take Me to Church” and “Angel of Small Death and the Codeine Scene.” He rediscovered his commercial touch with “Too Sweet,” a track that he released, in March, on his Unheard EP. The single topped the Billboard Hot 100 in April, and Hozier recently included it on Unreal Unearth: Unending, the deluxe expansion of his third studio album, Unreal Unearth.
