It’s been a decade since the Jonas Brothers last appeared on ‘SNL.’ Now that they’re back together and are bigger than ever, they killed it on May 11 with their number one hit ‘Sucker.’ When season 44 of Saturday Night Live kicked off in Sept. of 2018, most viewers would never have believed it if they heard that the Jonas Brothers would be the penultimate music act of the season. But they guys stunned fans by getting back together and on March 1 dropping their first single in six years, “Sucker.” Kevin, 31, Joe, 29, and Nick, 26, hit the SNL stage on May 11 for the very first time since 2009 and performed that tune, which became their first ever Billboard Hot 100 number one single. They brought so much energy with the live version while surrounded by giant colorful balloons onstage. The Bros even matched their outfits in red and black colors and were rewarded with a massive standing ovation at the end. The last time the guys were on the show was on Feb. 14, 2009 when they were at the height of their stardom. The trio performed “Tonight” and “Video Girl” and were introduced by….Hailey Baldwin! She was just 13-year-old at the time and her uncle Alec Baldwin, 61, was hosting the episode the JoBros appeared on. He stood next to her as his little niece and massive JoBros fan introduced the boys before “Video Girl.” Now she’s all grown up and married to Justin Bieber, 25. It’s been quite a year for The Jonas Brothers both personally and professionally. Nick married actress Priyanka Chopra, 36, in an elaborate three-day wedding extravaganza in her native India beginning on Dec. 1, 2018. Then brother Joe and his fiancee, Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner, 23, shocked fans when after the JoBros performance at the 2019 Billboard Music Awards on May 1, the couple headed to a Las Vegas wedding chapel and tied the knot with an Elvis impersonator officiating. And even crazier, DJ and music producer Diplo, 40, streamed the service live on his Instagram feed. With that amount of happiness in their personal lives, the JoBros are back on top of the music world in the comeback no one saw coming. On March 1 they released “Sucker” as well as the sexy video that featured their significant others. The song would rocket to the top of the charts, something that never happened even in their heyday. They’ve got an upcoming album, Happiness Begins and the band is heading out on a 40-date North American tour beginning in August. Their musical guest spot on SNL is just the icing on the cake for the guys as they’re rolling in success these days.<doc-sep>The Jonas Brothers are officially back. The trio, who went on hiatus in 2013, have joined back up for a new album and massive world tour. Happiness Begins is still a month away, but the JoBros’ Saturday Night Live performances are more than enough to tide fans over while they wait. The Jonas Brothers kicked things off by performing “Sucker” off their upcoming album. “Sucker” is catchy and guitar-driven, and the ultimate showcase for the brothers’ easy charm. You can hear it in the recorded version of the song, but just wait until you watch them perform it live. If you thought Shawn Mendes was the king of flirty camera eye contact, Nick Jonas is back to take his rightful throne. While he stares the camera down with his best pop star moony eyes, Joe owns the stage with incredible confidence. He’s having the time of his life dancing with his brothers. Kevin is a guitar king, stealing the spotlight even without singing any lead vocals. For their second song, The Jonas Brothers transitioned from the summery ease of “Cool” to their smash 2008 hit “Burnin’ Up.” Their new music is great, of course, but the energy of “Burnin’ Up” is spectacular to watch. They’re better singers and musicians than ever. Surrounded onstage by balloons and nailing every run and high note, the Jonas Brothers proved they’re more than just a trip down memory lane. Tickets for their massive run of 2019 tour dates just went on sale, and these SNL performances are as good an advertisement as any. Check out all the Jonas Brothers’ upcoming tour dates here, and watch them perform “Sucker,” “Cool,” and “Burnin’ Up” above.<doc-sep>
Usually, stars performing on Saturday Night Live play their latest hits, but true to form, the Jonas Brothers did it a little differently. They did play their latest singles, “Sucker” and “Cool,” but also dipped into their back catalog to play one of their most iconic songs — and we’re totally losing it. The JoBros took the legendary SNL stage on May 11 in coordinating red outfits, performing “Sucker” in their first set and slowing it down for “Cool” in their second performance. That wasn’t the only song they played in the second bit, though. At the end of the song, Nick stopped singing and said it was time to “bring it back” to their old school days, and that’s when they launched into the one and only “Burnin’ Up.” All three brothers looked pretty pleased by their surprise and like they were really enjoying this iconic slice of their past. Commence fan freakouts. “JONAS BROTHERS SINGING “BURNIN' UP” ON SNL, THIS IS NOT A DRILL,” tweeted one fan, stressing the importance of this monumental occasion. “Not even gonna lie, I just cried watching the Jonas Brothers sing “Burnin' Up” on SNL,” added another. “JONAS BROTHERS PERFORMED “BURNIN' UP” ON SNL EXCUSE ME WHILE I GO CRY,” tweeted another JoBros stan, and honestly, weren’t we all feeling the same way? The Brothers also appeared in a sketch during the show, playing three “boys havin’ fun” who burned down a house and thus had to appear in “Judge Court.” We’ll definitely be seeing more of the JoBros now that they’ve kicked their reunion into high gear; their new album, Happiness Begins, comes out in June, along with an accompanying documentary, and upcoming tour to boot. We don’t know about you, but that SNL throwback moment has us “Burnin’ Up” for tickets. Want more from Teen Vogue? Check this out: The Jonas Brothers Documentary Will Be Here So Soon
