Gracie Abrams celebrated Halloween by paying tribute to Romeo + Juliet during her return to Saturday Night Live, dressing as both Claire Danes and Leonardo DiCaprio’s characters for her musical performances.

The singer appeared on the Halloween episode of the long-running sketch show on Saturday, October 31, performing two songs from her latest music.

For her first performance, Abrams sang Hit the Wall, the lead single from her third album Daughter from Hell, while wearing the angel costume worn by Claire Danes in Baz Luhrmann’s 1996 film. She opened the performance behind an aquarium, recreating the iconic scene in which Juliet first catches sight of Romeo through a fish tank.

Abrams returned later in the episode to perform Here You Come, There You Go, a song set to appear on the deluxe edition of Daughter from Hell. This time, she channelled Leonardo DiCaprio’s Romeo, wearing his Hawaiian shirt alongside the metallic sleeves from his knight costume in the film.

The Halloween episode was hosted by Obsession star Inde Navarrette, marking her hosting debut. It was Abrams’ second appearance as a musical guest on SNL, following her first performance on the show in December 2024.

The singer recently announced that the deluxe edition of Daughter from Hell will be released on November 20, featuring five additional songs, including Here You Come, There You Go.

Abrams is also preparing to embark on her Look at My Life Tour, which begins in Denver on December 2 and will continue into May 2027, with several UK and Ireland dates, including four shows at London’s O2 Arena.
