Singer Lizzo used her Saturday Night Live comeback to drag President Donald Trump during her performance—without ever saying his name. The episode, hosted by Jon Hamm, featured the star in a provocative shirt that took aim at the chaos the president has caused on the economy. The singer wore a “TARRIFIED” shirt with bright red letters on a black crop top while performing her new song, “Still Bad.” Trump, who has imposed—and then walked back, then imposed again—tariffs on virtually every country in the planet, has sent the U.S. stock market into a whirlwind. During the show’s goodbyes, Lizzo then wore a matching “Black women were right” shirt—seemingly a callback to former Vice President Kamala Harris’ loss in November, when Black women across the country rallied for the vice president. ”I’m sure the right-wing reaction to this Lizzo performance on SNL will be very normal," wrote Mike Nellis, a former advisor to Harris. “Honestly, LEGENDARY,” another commented.
