Saweetie’s SNL Debut Is Exciting and ‘ICY’
Saweetie made her SNL debut last weekend, making it her first performance on the live show in which she certainly did not disappoint.
Saweetie performed a medley of her hits including “Tap In” and “Best Friend,” both singles topped the charts this year. She wore a stunning two-piece flapper outfit with her signature red hair. The set included three singles in which she remixed and added an exciting spin to the already catchy songs.

The rapper performed a newer and slower version of her hit summer smash “Tap In” with a slower tempo than the original version. Saweetie added onto the effect of the slowed version by dancing with two ballerina backup dancers.

The twenty-eight-year-old rapper performed her new single “Icy Chain” which was released on November 19 in anticipation of her album Pretty Bitch Music.
The album was originally supposed to be released this year but pushed to 2022. Saweetie told Big Tigger at the BET Awards that she pushed it back due to being a “perfectionist.”

“Pretty Bitch Music was supposed to come out this month, but I was really living with it,” Saweetie explained. “And one of my goals is for people to really feel something with every song, so I had to go back and reconstruct some songs. Just know that I’m a perfectionist and it’s on the way.”
With Saweetie’s new album on the way featuring exciting collaborations and more sure to be hit singles, fan’s of the star have a lot to look forward to. SNL airs Saturdays on NBC, 11:30 PM ET and 10:30 PM CT.
