Last week, Machine Gun Kelly announced that he is finally checking Saturday Night Live off of his bucket list. As it turns out, MGK almost made his debut last year after broken COVID-19 protocols left NBC temporarily without a musical guest. In the end, the open spot went to Jack White.
Now, this Saturday, Jan. 30, MGK is hitting the show’s coveted stage for a few performances alongside host John Krasinski (The Office, A Quiet Place). On Thursday, NBC debuted the first teaser for the upcoming episode.

Machine Gun Kelly also took to his Instagram Story to further tease his SNL performance. In the video, he shows off his new guitar that he made especially for the upcoming appearance. However, the video is catching fans’ attention for a whole different reason. Both Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox can be seen wearing rings on their ring fingers, causing speculation that the couple may be engaged.

MGK and Fox originally met on the set of their new movie Midnight in the Switchgrass and began dating soon after. Fox also stars in the “bloody valentine” video and appears in the MOD SUN–directed video for “drunk face.”
For those of you who have listened to Tickets To My Downfall, you may have recognized her voice on the album. She and Machine Gun Kelly recorded an honest conversation that starts off the interlude “banyan tree.”
