Lizzo opened the BETs dressed in glorious gold, playing her flute, and singing "About Damn Time," which opens with:

> *"It's bad bitch o'clock, yeah, it's thick-thirty I've been through a lot but I'm still flirty (okay)* *Is everybody back up in the buildin'?* *It's been a minute, tell me how you're healin'* *'Cause I'm about to get into my feelings* *How you feelin'? How you feel right now?"*

The song takes a positive turn about how she might actually be okay, maybe even better now than she was before, and I think... a lot of us will be singing this all summer hoping that manifestation is real.

I didn't get to watch the BETs this year because of Life Reasons, and I'm sad about it. [The In Memoriam segment opened with the words "Roe v. Wade"](https://www.etonline.com/2022-bet-awards-in-memoriam-opens-with-roe-v-wade-ends-with-tribute-to-victims-of-gun-violence?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) and ended with what sounds like a stunning tribute to victims of gun violence. [Several of the speeches referenced Roe v. Wade and the renunciation of women's rights.](https://www.npr.org/2022/06/27/1107744877/stars-use-bet-awards-stage-to-criticize-roe-v-wade-ruling?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) And last, and certainly also least but still relevant to what we do here, there was a LARGE parade of Taraji P. Henson outfits, because she hosted, and you *know* she did not shirk the fashion portion of that job. We also got Mariah Carey and a stunning staging from Muni Long. I'm going to try and find a rerun of the telecast.
