The singer and rapper known for her self-confident, vibrant songs and persona performed “Truth Hurts” at the awards show—the hit that launched her decade of work into the mainstream and made her a global superstar.

“I’m so damn free,” she sang, striking a final pose and laughing as neon pink light flooded the stage. “Thank you.”
