Not all people were into Lipa’s performance however, many taking the opportunity to criticize the state of modern mainstream music.

Lipa was one of many musicians to wear a white rose to the Grammy’s on January 28 to bring awareness to the Time’s Up movement. The performer is also set to perform at Bonnaroo in June.
Natalie Portman hosted Saturday’s episode of the variety sketch series, with Lipa as musical guest. The actress was there to promote her upcoming thriller Anhilation, coming to theaters February 23.
