Pop star Grimes made a surprise cameo alongside boyfriend Elon Musk on the latest Saturday Night Live show.
The popular Canadian singer-songwriter shocked fans as she popped up to impersonate the video game character Princess Peach on the hit US comedy show.
Grimes, who has been in a relationship with Tesla CEO Elon since 2018, teased her cameo on Instagram prior to broadcast.
“Tune into SNL tonight to watch me try acting!” joked Grimes in a social media post.
The 33-year-old appeared in a comedy sketch which took the form for a courtroom drama.
In it Peach is accused of having an affair with fellow Nintendo computer character Luigi.
In real life the couple have a son, X AE A-Xii, who they welcome in May of last year.
Elon, who plays the computer character Wario, accuses Peach of the betrayal on the iconic show which he hosts for the first time.
He later went on to poke fun at the name he and his girlfriend selected for their young son.
“It’s pronounced, cat running across keyboard,” he joked.
In his opening monologue Elon, whose net worth is believed to be a whopping £42.3billion, said he was the first person with Asperger’s syndrome to ever host the programme.

People with Asperger’s interpret the environment around them differently to other people.
And he also poked fun at his own unusual name and his own eccentricities on the show, which was streamed live to more than 100 countries around the world on YouTube.
Top celebs Adele, Hollywood actor Will Ferrell, Chris Rock and even former Beatles drummer Ringo Starr have hosted the iconic show, which started in the 1970s.
“I don’t always have a lot of intonation or variation in how I speak… which I’m told makes for great comedy,” joked Elon in his monologue.
“I’m actually making history tonight as the first person with Asperger’s to host SNL.”
Elon has more than 53million Twitter fans – and he was also happy to joke about his use of social media for comedy effect on the show.
“Look, I know I sometimes say or post strange things, but that’s just how my brain works,” admitted the billionaire.
“To anyone who’s been offended, I just want to say I reinvented electric cars, and I’m sending people to Mars in a rocket ship. Did you think I was also going to be a chill, normal dude?”
Singer Miley Cyrus and the comedian and actor Peter Davidson also appeared on the legendary show.
