Heart Have Never Been Asked to Play ‘SNL,’ Ann Wilson Reveals: ‘We’re the Last to Be Considered’

In 1975, Heart, the rock band led by sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson, released their first album, Dreamboat Annie. The band will celebrate their 50th anniversary milestone with a 2025 tour; but, as the Wilsons revealed in a new interview with the Los Angeles Times, just because Heart have been around for decades, doesn’t mean they’ve gotten their due. In fact, the famous sisters — who have had nine top 10 hits, including two number ones — have never been asked to perform on Saturday Night Live.

When asked if the band thinks they have gotten their due, Ann responded, “I don’t. We’ve just always felt like we’re the last to be considered — never been asked to be on SNL, all that kind of stuff. There’s some ‘No, these guys aren’t hip enough’ role that’s in place, and we’ve never understood what that is.”
