Saweetie came, saw, and conquered ‘SNL’ this weekend with not one, but two blazing performances.

The classic sketch comedy’s November 20 episode, hosted by Simu Liu, came as the rapper’s inaugural visit as musical act.

Before giving the first televised live performance of her new single, ‘Icy Chain,’ the 28-year-old lit up the ‘SNL’ stage with a medley of her hits ‘Best Friend’ and ‘Tap In’ while rocking costuming and a set inspired by old Hollywood glamour fused with a subtle nod to the 1976 film classic ‘Sparkle.’

In addition to serving as the executive producer for the soundtrack to the forthcoming Halle Berry film ‘Bruised’ (click here to view the trailer), Cardi B also contributes to the all-star tracklist which features the likes of City Girls, H.E.R., Saweetie, Latto, and more.

Her ‘Bruised’ feature ‘Bet It,’ which comes as a Latin-inspired cut that features interpolations of Camilo Sesto‘s 1972 hit, ‘Algo de Mí,’ kicks off the 13-song soundtrack and houses lyrics that speak to her fighting spirit (a fitting addition to the LP’s tracklist given the film’s subject matter).

“I don’t see one, only Cardi B want it / Then I want some shit, ’cause I done some shit / Checks on like I just won some shit / Shoot up the charge like I gun some shit / Gotta read my deal, ’cause I run this shit,” Cardi raps on the Cool N Dre-produced number.

Hosted by ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ star Symone, the ‘Icy Season: A Saweetie Special’ (November 9) came as a partnership with Amazon and Calvin Klein as the ‘My Type’ maestra serves as the spokeswoman for the fashion brand’s newest collection.

“Working with Calvin Klein and Amazon to curate my own show was so amazing– it’s unlike anything I’ve ever done,” said Saweetie. “The holidays are super special to me and that’s something I wanted to share with my fans and give them something extra icy. The show has a lot of firsts – new songs, new dances, and a bunch of surprises that I was so excited to bring to life.”

When not answering Q&A from her fans, affectionately called the #IcyGang, Saweetie was sharing fashion tips and rocking the stage.  Look inside to see how she fared:
