She seemed incredibly nervous on the stage, and her Lights On performance was reportedly rocky. Many pointed out how she was not in tune during the first verse. Her fans defended her, saying that she may just be having an off-night.
Though her performance garnered a lot of attention, the thing about her SNL appearance that stayed under the spotlight was Pete Davidson jokingly proposing to her during a promo with host Jonah Hill.
