Watch Brandi Carliles epic 'Saturday Night Live' debut (VIDEO)

Brandi Carlile’s ‘Saturday Night Live’ musical guest debut has been described as an epic performance by many on the internet and those who watched the show.

The 40-year-old American singer-songwriter and producer whose music spans many genres made her debut as the Saturday Night Live musical guest over the weekend and shined bright in both her sets.

She kicked off her memorable performance with a live rendition of “Broken Horses” while rocking a gold tuxedo.

Flanked by twin backing guitar players – Phil and Tim Hanseroth – Carlile brought a rock-star energy and emotional depth to Studio 8H that proved to be a powerhouse of a debut performance.

She followed up “Broken Horses” performance with a rendition of her single “Right on Time.”

Right after Brandi Carlile’s epic performance, she took to Instagram to compare how she started verse how it’s going with a throwback photo and that of her appearance on ‘Saturday Night Live’.

She said she was ‘lucky enough’ to be called to perform on ‘Saturday Night Live,’ adding that she considers herself as a ‘rock-star’ after her debut appearance.

“How it started vs how it’s going. Repost Aug. 21, 2018: On a recent trip to NYC when I was lucky enough to perform on @latenightseth I wandered accidentally into the SNL studio looking for the bathroom! I saw the stage and it took my breath away… I don’t know why but I’ve always seen it as a definitive ‘ok now you’re a rockstar’ moment in a person’s musical life…I just HAD to grab a pic on the iconic Saturday Night Live stage. ONE DAY we’ll get there man! Dreams come true everyday,” she captioned the photo gallery.
