Rapper SZA made her Saturday Night Live debut this week as the musical guest alongside host James Franco. Based on fan reactions after the show, she knocked it out of the park.
The New Jersey native played two of her hits throughout the night, “The Weekend” and “Love Galore,” which were later uploaded to SNL’s YouTube channel.

As for the rest of the show, SZA unfortunately didn’t make it into any of the skits, but both Jonah Hill and Seth Rogen mentioned her during Franco’s opening monologue, saying she was the only reason they were there.
