Stevie Nicks is hard to trick! Or is she?

Nicks is set to appear on Saturday Night Live this weekend on October 12th, and the rock icon appeared in a teaser for the upcoming show, alongside the series' Bowen Yang and host Ariana Grande, who were trying to get her to sing Fleetwood Mac hit "Landslide."

In the short clip, Yang tells Grande, "It's your second time hosting," to which the pop star replied, "Well, you know what they say — lightening strikes maybe once," followed by Bowen, "Maybe twice," a nod to Fleetwood Mac's "Gypsy." In response, Stevie declared, "You can't trick me into singing."

Then, Bowen asked Ariana how her weekend was, and she said, "It was good. You know, I climbed a mountain, and I turned around," with Yang adding, "That's funny because I saw my reflection on the snow-covered hills" — all lyrics to "Landslide." Finally, Stevie gave in and finished the song by singing, "And the landslide brought me down."

Ahead of her hosting duties earlier this week, Ariana shared a glimpse of the forthcoming show in a short teaser, showing the star in the SNL offices for a pre-show meeting where she shared her one request as host of the show — "to not do anything related to Wicked or Wizard of Oz."

This has also been a big week for Yang as his podcast with co-host Matt Rogers, "Las Culturistas," celebrated 400 episodes by counting down the "top 400 iconic people in culture." You can celebrate along with Bowen and Matt and listen to "Las Culturstas" on iHeartRadio.
