Timothée Chalamet is back at it again, pulling double duty as both host and musical guest on the January 25th episode of Saturday Night Live. That’s right—Hollywood’s favorite cheekbone prince isn’t just here to serve looks and whispers; he’s ready to break into song, rap, and maybe even a heartfelt ode to a horse.
This marks the first time Timmy is gracing the SNL stage officially as a musical guest, but fans already know his vocal cords have been putting in overtime lately. From crooning his heart out as a candy-coated Willy Wonka to strumming Bob Dylan classics in A Complete Unknown (which, by the way, got him an Oscar nod—humble flex), he’s proven he’s more than just a brooding stare and soft-spoken interviews.
To celebrate this milestone, we’ve rounded up every single musical moment our boy has blessed us with on SNL. Prepare yourself for laughs, tears, and an unhealthy obsession with both tiny and giant horses.
1. “Outlaw Blues” & “Three Angels” – January 2025
Timmy kicked off the show with not one but TWO Bob Dylan covers. Because why settle for one legendary song when you can drop a medley? Watching him channel his inner Dylan was like witnessing a Parisian poet vibe out at an open mic—mesmerizing, slightly confusing, but mostly cool. Someone hand this man a harmonica and a plaid scarf.
2. “Tomorrow Is a Long Time” – January 2025
If the medley wasn’t enough to convince you, Timothée whipped out another Dylan classic and went full folk-heartthrob mode. Rumor has it, every person in the audience simultaneously sighed and updated their Spotify playlists.
3. Rap Roundtable with Pete Davidson – December 2020
Ah, the moment Timothée transformed into Lil Timmy Tim, his chaotic rap alter ego. Teaming up with Pete Davidson as Xan Mob, the duo blessed us with “Yeet Skrt,” a rap so absurd it made real rappers everywhere question their life choices. Watching Timmy throw hand gestures while yelling “YEET” was an art form in itself. Picasso wishes.
4. “Tiny Horse” – December 2020
Cue the single tear. Timothée sang an emotional ballad about a man losing his beloved mini horse. “It’s extra quiet on the farm tonight,” he crooned, making everyone wonder if they were ready to ugly cry over an imaginary pony. The skit ended with him dramatically freeing the tiny horse into the wild, proving Timmy even cries pretty.
5. “Baby-Faced Dude” with Marcello Hernandez – November 2023
In this banger of a rap duet, Timothée and Marcello celebrated their baby faces. “I got a baby face, but my hips don’t lie,” Timmy rapped, channeling Shakira and then some. He even dropped the line, “Trust me baby, this be the best you ever had,” proving Lil Timmy Tim is confident, if nothing else. The highlight? Kenan Thompson and Punkie Johnson joined in, because why not?
6. “Giant Horse” – November 2023
Remember the *Tiny Horse* saga? Well, Timmy brought it back, only this time the horse had leveled up. Now a massive, galaxy-conquering behemoth, the horse is wreaking havoc in space. Timothée’s ballad about convincing his giant horse to not destroy humanity was equal parts moving and ridiculous. Spoiler alert: The horse shrinks back down because of love. Classic Timmy.
7. Museum of Hip-Hop Panel – November 2023
Lil Timmy Tim returned to the stage, this time as Smokecheddathaassgetta (because why have one ridiculous name when you can have two?). While Pete was MIA, Timothée held it down solo, performing his new hit “Cling Cling Cling.” The lyrics? Poetry: “Cling cling cling / Man, you capping.” He was interrupted mid-performance, but we all know he left a mark—cling cling cling, indeed.
Final Thoughts
Timothée Chalamet isn’t just a pretty face. He’s a multi-talented, horse-loving, rap-spitting, Dylan-channeling icon. Whether he’s singing about apocalyptic horses or baby-faced dudes, one thing’s for sure: this man knows how to put on a show. If you haven’t watched his musical moments on SNL yet, what are you even doing with your life?
