Who knew there was so much fun to be had with Sia‘s name?
Blake Shelton Announced as ‘Saturday Night Live’ Host & Musical Guest
In a new promo for this weekend’s Saturday Night Live, host Kevin Hart and castmember Kate McKinnon wordplay around with the musical guest’s name — “Sia then!” “Sia later!” — while she stands by in her signature platinum bob and her eyes covered with a black veil. “Do you want to get in on this?” McKinnon asks the enigmatic singer/songwriter. “I do,” she responds — but she never does.

During Saturday’s show, Sia will likely perform her new song “Elastic Heart,” for which she released an instantly controversial video last week. The video again features young “Chandelier” dancer Maddie Ziegler, of Dance Moms fame, but this time she’s joined by the much older Shia LaBeouf, prompting “pedophilia” complaints from many social-media users.
“I anticipated some ‘pedophelia!!!’ Cries for this video. All I can say is Maddie and Shia are two of the only actors I felt could play these two warring ‘sia’ self states,” Sia tweeted after the video’s release. Watch the clip for yourself below:
