Chris Stapleton was the musical guest on last nightâs episode of Saturday Night Live, hosted by Ryan Gosling, marking his third time playing the show. To ring in his return, Stapleton performed the Grammy-winning âWhite Horseâ (with backing vocals by his wife, Morgane Stapleton) and âMountains of My Mind,â both of which appear on his latest album, Higher. He also starred in a sketch parodying country revenge songs called âGet That Boy Back.â Watch his performances, plus his SNL promo video with Ryan Gosling and Sarah Sherman, below.
Higher is Stapletonâs fifth studio album. Last year, he performed âThe Star-Spangled Bannerâ at the Super Bowl and he covered the Bandâs song âThe Weightâ for the in memoriam segment at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony. For the latter, Stapleton was joined by Elton John, Brittany Howard, and Sheryl Crow.
