Loved her voice, it was probably her best performance in terms of vocals in a uptempo song, I could tell she focused more on it instead of the dance moves unlike SNL and I think it was better this way because she was exhausted in the ending and she would probably pass out if she tried to do the entire choreo while sounding that good at the same time.

That was good. I liked the throaty "somewhere" @ 2:40

She did great!

Her vocals... omg... she shut the place DOWN. I'm so proud of my girl.

Amazing tbh

The bridgee

Yes! she still kept the tribal theme and added a solar eclipse
wasn't expecting the dreadlocks though but it adds to the effect.
solid

She's improved so much dancing wise but I didn't like her vocals at all.

So many threads

Lemme say it again it was epic, the queen delivered

The hair looked a mess (as is per usual this era), but otherwise she absolutely killed it. MUCH better than the SNL performance.

the song should soar to #1 in no time

Cute

She gave a good performance

Her hair has been great this era. Taking risk, doing different things... Something an innovator does. Be happy she does that instead of trying to copy every hairstyle Gaga does or wear crazy wigs constantly...

TTT has been her best fashion era.

Her wardrobe has been on-point this era (only RR's style has superseded TTT's), but her hair hasn't looked great for the majority of the TTT era.

That was amazing. The dancing could have been much better but I'm glad she was more focused on giving a good vocal performance. She just needs to practice how to balance dancing and singing and she'll be unstoppable.
