Stars Walk the 2019 Grammy Awards Red Carpet_ by [Melissa Locker](https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/) ## Melissa Locker Apr 12, 2019 2:18 PM UTC by [Melissa Locker](https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/) ## Melissa Locker Apr 12, 2019 2:18 PM UTC In [promo videos](https://twitter.com/nbcsnl/status/1116021907835490305) for her gig hosting this week’s _Saturday Night Live_, [Emma Stone](http://time.com/collection/2017-time-100/4736213/emma-stone/) plays a [BTS superfan](http://time.com/5521769/famous-bts-armys/), who has a sleepover with _SNL_ cast members in a room plastered with BTS posters. Turns out the promos weren’t too far from reality. Even when she’s not playing a [BTS fan](http://time.com/collection-post/5414052/bts-next-generation-leaders/) on TV, Stone is not immune to the charms of K-pop’s biggest band. When Stone stopped by _The Tonight Show_ on Thursday ahead of her appearance on _SNL_, she told host Jimmy Fallon that when she saw the show’s musical guest BTS during their soundcheck, she let out an involuntary scream. While Fallon laughed at an A-list star like Stone getting starstruck to the point of shrieking, Stone assured him it was entirely true. “I‘m actually not kidding,“ she said. “It came out of my body, like ’Aaah!’ Like it was a chemical reaction happened.” In addition to learning that they invoke a visceral reaction in Stone, the band is having a big week. Just today they released their video for “Boy With Luv” featuring Halsey and at the time of publication it had already racked up nearly 20 million views. On Saturday they will make their debut on _Saturday Night Live_, and fans are already camped out in the streets around 30 Rock where the show films in the hopes of getting a glimpse of the ultra-popular boy band. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5567461/emma-stone-on-fallon/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5567461/emma-stone-on-fallon/"},"headline":"Emma Stone Is a Card Carrying Member of the BTS Fan Club","datePublished":"2019-04-12T14:18:58.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T08:02:46.631Z","description":"She couldn't hold back during the band's SNL soundcheck","url":"https://time.com/5567461/emma-stone-on-fallon/","keywords":["Newsfeed","jimmy fallon","The Tonight Show","Emma Stone","Late Night Television","bts"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5567461/emma-stone-on-fallon/","name":"Emma Stone Is a Card Carrying Member of the BTS Fan Club"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Stars Walk the 2019 Grammy Awards Red Carpet","description":"Stars Walk the 2019 Grammy Awards Red Carpet","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/oyXSMHIn/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2019-02-11T02:39:01.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/oyXSMHIn.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/5567461/emma-stone-on-fallon/","duration":"PT2M10S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/5567461/emma-stone-on-fallon/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
