Dig Out Lizzo's passionately emotive performance of hit tunes ‘Truth Hurts’ and ‘Good as Hell’ during her stellar-smashing ‘SNL’ debut!
"Following a breakout year where she scored eight Grammy nominations, Lizzo made an energetic Saturday Night Live debut last night at Studio 8H.
At the start of her first song “Truth Hurts” — a three-year-old sleeper hit that became a bonus track on her 2019 album Cuz I Love You — Lizzo, clad in custom Dapper Dan x Gucci, initially took the stage with just her guitarist to deliver the track’s first lines. The performance quickly turned into an energetic, rock & roll-tinged set with an all-female band and troupe of backup dancers.
The rapper later returned to the SNL stage to perform her soulful hit “Good As Hell,” where she traded her Gucci look for a tux and added a festive backdrop of candy cane stripper poles. Before beginning the song, she told the audience, “Happy holidays y’all. Be kind to one another, but most importantly, be good to yourself.” Lizzo then twerked to the 2016 single with her scantily clad backup dancers dressed in bows.
Lizzo also starred in a cut-for-time sketch with Aidy Bryant where the SNL star acquires the confidence of the singer, becoming “Aidy Bizzo.” Bryant begins quoting Lizzo’s lyrics and even carrying the tiny purse she brought to the AMAs. Later on in the sketch, Lizzo and Bryant appear in a faux music video in hot pink corsets and fur coats, and Bryant seeks Lizzo’s advice asking, “Do you ever feel like you’re only 90% that bitch?” to which Lizzo replies, “No, but maybe you’re burning the ass at both ends.”
Lizzo recently shared a new music video for “Good as Hell” that featured Homecoming Week 2019 at Louisiana’s Southern University. With Lizzo’s eight Grammy nominations, she leads the pack alongside Billie Eilish and Lil Nas X at the upcoming 2020 Grammy Awards." - Rollingstone.com
"If Lizzo had a single gospel, it would be one preaching self-love and confidence -- and Aidy Bryant is more than ready to follow her lead.
In a sketch that didn't make it to TV due to time constraints, Aidy Bryant has a simple question for her Saturday Night Live castmates Kate McKinnon and Cecily Strong: "Why can't I be 100% that b--ch?!" Strong assures her that she is: "You just gotta know it, like Lizzo does."
Bryant then proceeds to embrace her inner Lizzo, trying on some of her most memorable looks -- like the sherbet gown and teeny, tiny purse she brought to the 2019 American Music Awards -- and flirt with anyone who crosses her path backstage at SNL, including host and SNL alum Eddie Murphy.
Lizzo is all for Bryant's reinvention and her glow-up. "Is it me, or are we best friends?!" the comedienne asks before leaving Lizzo's dressing room. "Yeah! I mean, I'm definitely your best friend," the singer/rapper/flutist conceded. "That's great for you."
Watch Lizzo and Bryant feel good as hell in the "Aidy Bizzo" sketch below." - Billboard.com
