The singer, rapper and flautist also performed her new single About Damn Time as well as starring in multiple sketches alongside the Saturday Night Live cast.

During her opening monologue, she made reference to her TedTalk on twerking and the rumours of her dating multiple different men in Hollywood including being pregnant with Chris Evans’ baby – a story which she admitted she had started on TikTok.
