The episode, which was hosted by breakout _Never Have I Ever_ star [Maitreyi Ramakrishnan](https://time.com/collection/time100-next-2021/5937731/maitreyi-ramakrishnan/ "undefined"), included musical performances from artists [Dua Lipa](https://time.com/collection/time100-next-2021/5937664/dua-lipa/ "undefined"), [Anitta](https://time.com/collection/time100-next-2021/5937667/anitta/ "undefined"), [Luke Combs](https://time.com/collection/time100-next-2021/5937668/luke-combs/ "undefined") and [Phoebe Bridgers](https://time.com/collection/time100-next-2021/5937672/phoebe-bridgers/ "undefined").
