[WATCH] Phoebe Bridgers SNL musical guest crushes guitar

Last night Saturday Night Live, Phoebe Bridgers and Her Good Time Skeleton Band graced the stage as a musical guest, bringing with them last year’s performances Punisher. In what may have been a highlight of the episode, Bridgers performed the fun and maximal closing track on the album “I Know the End”. The number starts out smooth and delicate before building, building and building. It grows until Bridgers lets out some primal screams, and the fog machines are all like “pssshhhh” and the horns are all like “waaah”, and the sleepy little stage at Studio 8H comes to life. Bridgers looks like he’s having the best time of his life acting, and it ends with a totally rock god move: overhead breaking his guitar, again and again, on an amplifier on the edge of the stage. People are already being performatively moralistic and tut-tutty about it on Twitter, to which we say: if you can’t rock the skeletons, go back to the crypt.
