Cher is getting both slammed and praised for allegedly lip-syncing her way through her 'Saturday Night Live' performance: 'Lip-sync if you want, Queen!'

It only took a mere 40 years, but Cher finally returned to Studio 8H. The icon graced the “Saturday Night Live” stage as the musical guest Dec. 20, also the show’s final episode of the year. In a blond wig and pastiche of kitschy pants and a leather jacket, Cher, 79, performed her 2023 holiday song, “DJ Play A Christmas Song.”

"Cher, killing it at 79," another quipped. "Idc [I don't care] about her lip syncing, it's late, she's 80, she just wants to have some fun," one watcher wrote in the YouTube c omments.

During Saturday’s episode, which featured Ariana Grande hosting and Cher as the musical guest, the sketch comedy show took the time to remember Reiner, who was killed alongside his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, last weekend. The couple’s youngest son, Nick Reiner, has been charged with the murder of his parents.
