Maggie Rogers performed her breakout single "Alaska" Wednesday on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert to celebrate the 2016 song's 10th anniversary.
Rogers famously played a recording of "Alaska" for Pharrell Williams while he was visiting her music class at New York University. Footage of Williams' stunned, impressed reaction to the song — "I have zero notes for that," he said — helped "Alaska" go viral.
You can watch Rogers' Colbert performance on YouTube. She also played a cover of the standard "One for My Baby (And One More for the Road)" during the show.
Rogers announced in March she was launching a foundation and scholarship at NYU to mark the "Alaska" anniversary.
