AceShowbiz - On her much-awaited return to "Saturday Night Live," Lizzo didn't just deliver powerhouse musical performances, but also sparked political conversations, all while facing a cloud of controversy.
The singer took to the energetic platform wearing a crop top emblazoned with the word "TARIFFIED" in large red letters. This sartorial choice was a direct jab at President Donald Trump's controversial tariff policies.
The performance, which marked her first appearance on the show since allegations of misconduct surfaced, was introduced by host, actor Jon Hamm. Despite the ongoing legal battle, Lizzo appeared undeterred, exuding her characteristic confidence and charisma.
Fans of the "Truth Hurts" singer were quick to react on social media. One fan commented, "Okay, this is iconic, idc what anyone says," while another wrote, "Lizzo never wears clothes. She wears conversations."
The shirt's bold statement drew a mixed reaction, as is often the case with political attire; some lauded her for being daring and vocal while detractors accused her of trying to be overly relatable.
Underlining the performance's political tone, an American flag was projected on the curtains behind Lizzo as she delivered a medley of "Love in Real Life" and "Still Bad".
For another performance, Lizzo donned a fitted gold gown, performing "Don't Make Me Love You."
The show wasn't just Lizzo's stage; Jon Hamm's hosting drew plaudits, particularly for his role as Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in an anti-Trump sketch titled "The White POTUS", a playful take on "The White Lotus." Hamm also shared the stage with "Succession" star Kieran Culkin, adding witty exchanges and humor to the evening.
Lizzo's appearance on SNL was a whirlwind of music, politics, and unabashed self-expression, showcasing her ability to merge art with activism effortlessly. It's clear that while she continues to face personal challenges, her voice remains as powerful and influential as ever.
