H.E.R's whole outfit look is 🔥. Raise her volume higher! She is my favourite artist & deserves her shine. 😭 #SNL https://t.co/bFsUDIHBpw

H.E.R. kicked off her pair of performances with "Damage," her latest single. Many were taken by the song choice and her choice of clothing for the appearance. But there was also some criticism of the sound mixing on her performance.

I usually never stay up this late to watch SNL but Adele and H.E.R. were two very good reasons to do such a thing this one time.

Still, H.E.R delighted most viewers who likely only showed up to see Adele return to the show for her first attempt at hosting. Most were surprised by her voice, while others couldn't get past her look on the show.

Now I see what's been behind those sunglasses. Hello H.E.R. #AdeleOnSNL #heronsnl #HER #SNL

There were some questions about what H.E.R. would do for her second performance of the night. Would she roll out her "I Can't Breathe" song or would it be another new single to surprise fans. Megan Thee Stallion did set a standard for protest performances to kick off the season, so it wouldn't be a surprise.

Oh good Lordt!!! H.E.R. looks like a 90’s R&B goddess!! 👸🏾 #SNL

H.E.R. was definitely giving off classic '90s R&B vibes during her performance, though. As someone new to the singer's work, listening out of the blue could have left many confused like these folks above.

Adele and H.E.R.! Wow lol Adele as herself in the Bachelor skit! #SNL

Some fans were definitely clamoring for Adele to perform alongside H.E.R. on the show. They did get a fair share of singing from the British superstar during her The Bachelor sketch, but a team-up was on many minds.

Adele is charming & funny, her voice is still fire and the writing’s been stronger than its been in forever. Now H.E.R. is performing. So far, it’s been a great night for #SNL

Still, H.E.R. left people satisfied with the show. And her performance likely won over a few fans, possible giving her the same bump that Adele had mentioned in her monologue.
