Lizzo
Throws Jab At Donald Trump on ‘SNL’
Published
Lizzo seems to be feeling “Good as Hell” about her ‘SNL’ performance Saturday night … which included a jab at President Donald Trump‘s polarizing tariff plans.
The singer — who advocated for Kamala Harris‘ run for the White House — performed a medley of “Love in Real Life” and “Still Bad” on the sketch comedy series while proudly sporting a black crop top with red lettering reading “TARIFFIED.”
There’s no doubt Lizzo’s shirt references Trump’s tariffs, which include a newly announced 145% rate on Chinese imports that stunned — and terrified — many Americans.
China is a major trade partner with the U.S., and the tariff has many folks worried about the future prices of a variety of goods, plus what the high rate means for the global economy.
On Friday, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection shared a message — perhaps in an effort to appease concerned Americans — clarifying the reach of the tariffs … confirming smartphones, computers, and other electronics will be spared from the reciprocal tariffs.

However, not everyone is worried by the tariffs. “Shark Tank” star Kevin O’Leary even advocated for a 400% tariff rate while appearing on TMZ Live this week.
TBD on what Trump’s next tariff move will be.
