"This music number really tempts me to separate the art from the artist because of her ongoing controversies, but I have to admit that this was a great one.", shared a fan.
"She is no Brittany Howard on guitar (Britt uses all six strings) but Lizzo did her thing. It worked for the song so I ain’t mad at her. Besides, it’s always cool when chicks play guitar.", penned another.
"Lizzo and her team look great! I am waiting for a collaboration with Sza that’s semi- slow sexy and jaw-dropping!", stated a third.
"She writes killer tunes. She sings like a bird. She invites you way deep into delight. AND, she plays guitar?AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!", hyped a fourth.
"At least she actually performed her own song live on a live show. Which is more than we can ask of any performer on SNL.", opined a fifth.
Others also chimed in:
"I actually forgot to look at the dancers, my eyes were glued to Lizzzzzzo. She looks fantastic, and was rocking, baby. Great arrangement, fun performance", lauded a netizen.
"Her talent is wasted by this terrible song, bad production, bad wardrobes, and trying to fit the boring sexy pop star mold.", opined another.
She opened with a medley of Still Bad and Love in Real Life. Her second performance of the night was Don’t Make Me Love You.
