Lizzo seems to be feeling "Good as Hell" about her 'SNL' performance Saturday night ... which included a jab at President Donald Trump's polarizing tariff plans.

The singer -- who advocated for Kamala Harris' run for the White House -- performed a medley of "Love in Real Life" and "Still Bad" on the sketch comedy series while proudly sporting a black crop top with red lettering reading "TARIFFIED."

"Saturday Night Live" spoofed the "White Lotus" after an absolutely shocking season finale -- but with a Donald Trump "White Potus" twist as his unclear tariff rollout even has some of his supporters skeptical.

The pre-taped sketch on last night's 'SNL' starts off with Chloe Fineman portraying Melania Trump, but with a southern accent that mirrors Parker Posey's "White Lotus" character, Victoria Ratliff.

The sketch has Melania trying to get her husband's attention, who seems to be off in another world as she gets ready for dinner. James Austin Johnson's Trump takes the spot of Jason Isaacs’ Timothy Ratliff -- whose family is plagued with financial woes throughout  "White Lotus" Season 3.

Morgan Wallen's abrupt "Saturday Night Live" walk-off might not have been a comedy hit ... but one of the show’s writers is making sure the last laugh's on him!

ICYMI, Morgan abruptly ditched the 'SNL' stage Saturday night as the show ended, and posted an IG Story of a private jet with the caption, "Get me to God's country."

Pete Davidson & Colin Jost Never Was a Feud!!! Sent Lavish Gift to Make Post-Rehab Amends

Published | Updated

Pete Davidson and Colin Jost were never in a feud ... but Pete definitely regrets how he behaved in the past before he went to rehab and got clean -- so he bought CJ a very fancy gift to apologize.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... reports, including the initial one from The U.S. Sun, claiming Pete and Colin had become enemies, were way overblown -- and that was not the reason PD gifted Jost a $20,000 Cartier watch.

The real reason for the swanky timepiece is Pete wanted to offer a mea culpa -- or as Pete would likely say, "My bad, dawg" -- for his behavior prior to checking into rehab.
