It’s hard to believe it’s been over a year since KPop Demon Hunters arrived on the small screen. The animated musical premiered on Netflix in June 2025 and went on to become a global phenomenon, including winning the Academy Award for Best Animated Film.

Saturday Night Live turned its Halloween cold open on Saturday (Oct. 31) into a send-up of Nicki Minaj’s support for President Donald Trump, a week after the rapper joined him on the campaign trail.

Cast member Saidah Belo-Osagie played Minaj, bursting into the sketch near its end as James Austin Johnson’s Trump praised her loyalty to his movement. “Trump’s out here killing it,” Belo-Osagie’s Minaj declared, “and by it, I mean my career.” The sketch also cast her as Trump’s next choice for White House press secretary.

The parody drew directly on Minaj’s appearance at Trump’s Oct. 25 rally in Port Huron, Michigan, where she traveled with him on Air Force One and backed Republican candidates Mike Rogers and John James ahead of Tuesday’s (Nov. 3) midterm elections. During the rally, Trump invited Minaj to stand before the crowd and commented on her appearance, a moment the sketch played on with Johnson’s Trump making a string of jokes about the subject.

The press secretary gag also had a real-world source. A Trump staffer floated Minaj for the role during the Air Force One trip, and Trump later told The Benny Show it was “a good idea,” adding, “I’m gonna think about that.” Minaj has also said she is “not going anywhere” after Trump called her his “favorite.”

The cold open was framed as a ride through a budget Halloween haunted attraction, with Grace Reiter and Jeremy Culhane as a couple on a date and Kenan Thompson as a Grim Reaper guide. Tom Hanks then appeared as David S. Pumpkins, the oddball character he introduced on the show in 2016, backed by his dancing skeleton sidekicks Mikey Day and former cast member Bobby Moynihan, in what the sketch itself called the character’s third outing.

Before the bit could get going, Johnson’s Trump froze the scene and cut it short. “I’ll save you four minutes: he keeps popping up and confusing people on the ride. The end,” he told the audience, before comparing himself to Pumpkins: “We both appeared in 2016, we’re both very loud, very orange.” He went on to complain about Republican polling ahead of the midterms before Belo-Osagie’s Minaj made her entrance.

Minaj has not publicly addressed the sketch.

The rapper remains one of the most successful acts in Billboard chart history. In 2018, she became the first woman to log 100 entries on the Billboard Hot 100, and she holds the most Hot 100 top 10s among female rappers. In 2020, she and Doja Cat became the first female rap duo to top the Hot 100, with the remix of “Say So.”

Obsession star Inde Navarrette hosted the episode, her first time in the role. Gracie Abrams was the musical guest, her second SNL appearance after her December 2024 debut. She arrived fresh off the release of her new single “Here You Come, There You Go” on Oct. 29, and ahead of her Look at My Life arena tour, which launches Dec. 2 in Denver in support of her third album, Daughter From Hell.

SNL airs live on Saturday (Oct. 31), with a start time of 11:30 p.m. ET/PT.

The announcement has also raised questions about the family’s involvement: Elizalde’s daughter Valentina said publicly that the family had not known about the series and had not authorized it.

Harry Styles went back to where it all started for Harryween.

At Madison Square Garden on Friday (Oct. 30), the 29th night of his 30-show Together, Together residency, Styles changed into the outfit he wore for his 2010 X Factor audition and performed Stevie Wonder’s “Isn’t She Lovely,” the song that got him through to the next round at 16. He even repeated a line from that day, telling the crowd, “I work in a bakery,” a nod to the part-time job he held in his Cheshire hometown of Holmes Chapel.

The audition outfit was a mid-show swap. Styles opened the night dressed as Elvis Presley, while his band and dancers came as different versions of Styles from across his career. The Elvis nod tracks: the first song Styles ever recorded was a cover of Presley’s “The Girl of My Best Friend.”

On the audition itself, “Isn’t She Lovely” wasn’t Styles’ first pick. Footage released by the show in 2022 revealed he opened with Train’s “Hey, Soul Sister,” and only sang the Wonder song a cappella after Simon Cowell asked to hear him without a backing track. He was later placed in One Direction alongside Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson, Zayn Malik and the late Liam Payne. Earlier this month, Styles debuted “What Is Enough,” a song written for Payne, at the same venue on the second anniversary of Payne’s death.

Costumed covers have become a Harryween tradition. At the first edition, at MSG in 2021, Styles dressed as Dorothy to sing “Over the Rainbow,” then came out as a clown the next night to cover Britney Spears’ “Toxic.” In 2022, at Los Angeles’ Kia Forum, he dressed as Grease’s Danny Zuko for “Hopelessly Devoted to You.”

The residency wraps Saturday (Oct. 31) with a final Harryween show. The MSG run drew a record 11.5 million presale registrations on Ticketmaster. Styles has sent all four of his solo albums to No. 1 on the Billboard 200, most recently Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally. in March, and has topped the Hot 100 three times: “Watermelon Sugar” in 2020, “As It Was” in 2022 (15 weeks at No. 1, the longest run atop the chart by a U.K. act) and “Aperture” this year.

Tame Impala got into the Halloween spirit a day early, covering Seal’s “Kiss From a Rose” for Australian radio station triple j’s Like A Version series on Friday (Oct. 30).

At triple j’s Sydney studios, the band reworked the 1994 ballad into a stripped-back, synth-driven take, then followed it with a pared-down version of their own hit “Dracula.”

For Kevin Parker, the cover was a trip back to the start. He explained that “Kiss From a Rose” was on the first CD he ever bought, the Batman Forever soundtrack, which also introduced him to acts including U2, the Flaming Lips and Nick Cave.

It’s Tame Impala’s fourth Like A Version cover, following OutKast’s “Prototype” in 2013, Kylie Minogue’s “Confide in Me” in 2015 and Edwyn Collins’ “A Girl Like You” in 2021.

The session caps the biggest year of the project’s career. “Dracula,” first released as a solo single in October 2025, took off after a February remix featuring Jennie, giving Tame Impala their first top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 with a No. 5 peak. The song also reached No. 1 on Pop Airplay and Hot Rock & Alternative Songs, and spent more than six months atop Hot Dance/Electronic Songs. Tame Impala have just come off their biggest Australian tour to date, and their album Deadbeat leads next month’s ARIA Awards with eight nominations, tied with Genesis Owusu.

Tame Impala recently wrapped the Australian leg of their Deadbeat Tour, which featured multiple arena shows in Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney before finishing with two hometown performances in Perth on Oct. 24 and 25. Parker and his band are set to return to the road in May 2027 for a string of UK and European arena dates, followed by several summer festival appearances.

Seal’s original topped the Billboard Hot 100 for a week in August 1995 after its Batman Forever placement and won three Grammys the following year, including record and song of the year.
