Cyndi Lauper and Billy Porter left 2020 with a bang.

The number, which kicks off her set, was immediately criticized on Twitter.

“Cyndi Lauper and Billy Porter just sounded like two 8-year-olds presenting a ‘show’ for the adults with the intention of asking for an overnight stay, ‘ said one user.
