🎤 Lizzo Claps Back at Trump on SNL — And She Did It in a Crop Top

Lizzo is not here for Trump’s tariff tantrums — and she made that loud and clear during her fourth appearance on Saturday Night Live. With a guitar in hand, a message on her chest, and some major side-eye in the skits, the Grammy winner used the SNL stage to mix music, politics, and full-on main character energy.

✂️ Fashion Statement? More Like Mic Drop.

Forget subtle shade — Lizzo showed up wearing a black crop top that screamed “TARIFFIED” in firetruck red. Yep, a cheeky twist on “terrified” aimed straight at former President Trump’s recent tariff policies that have been driving prices (and people) up the wall. Her top wasn’t just a fit — it was a full-on statement.

And she wasn’t done. In the final “goodnights” segment, she swapped shirts and dropped a second truth bomb: “BLACK WOMEN WERE RIGHT.” Period.

Both looks instantly went viral, with fans calling her “the only fashion-political commentator we trust.” Okayyy 👏

🎶 She Sang. She Strummed. She Served.

Lizzo hit the SNL stage with Love in Real Life and Still Bad, two tracks off her upcoming album — and yes, she pulled out an electric guitar like a rock goddess in heels. But this wasn’t just a random flex: it was a tribute to Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the original queen of rock 'n' roll, whom Lizzo will be portraying in an upcoming biopic.

Just when we thought she couldn’t give us more? She dropped a surprise ‘80s power ballad, Don’t Make Me Love You, and left us all in our sad-girl-pop era.

💸 Sketch Comedy Meets Economic Chaos

Lizzo also popped up in a skit called The White POTUS — a spoof on The White Lotus, but instead of vacationing in Sicily, it’s a chaotic Trump-adjacent retreat. Lizzo played a rich American horrified to find her net worth tanked thanks to new tariffs. One line that had viewers wheezing:

“I went from 20 mil to 5. Girl math can’t fix this.”

It was giving political satire and Bravo energy.

👀 Fans Had Thoughts — And So Did Haters

The internet? Divided, naturally. Lizzo’s fans (aka the Lizzbians) ate it up, flooding TikTok with clips, memes, and side-by-side shots of her statement tees. One user called it “the most iconic protest shirt since Janet Jackson’s Super Bowl moment.” Meanwhile, some critics claimed she was “too political” — but when has Lizzo ever played it safe?

She addressed the noise on IG Stories the next day: “Black women BEEN right. Now y’all catching up.”

🧃 Final Sip: Lizzo’s Back and Unbothered

After a rocky 2023 full of legal drama (remember those dancer lawsuits? Yeah, still ongoing), Lizzo's SNL comeback was giving confidence, control, and a clear message: she's done hiding. If this is how she’s kicking off the Love in Real Lifeera, we’re already obsessed.
