Grammy-winning rapper and beloved hip-hop icon Doechii shook the Lollapalooza main stage on Saturday with an electrifying set. It featured dance, political statements, surprise guests, and more. She also performed Anxiety live.

Doechii's live performance of Anxiety seemingly split her audience. Some fans sang every word of the viral track. Others posted online saying the song felt out of place:

"That is so not a concert song."

After performing favorites like Bullfrog, GTFO, and Denial is a River, she paused to introduce Anxiety. The song reached No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100 earlier this year. It samples Gotye's Somebody That I Used to Know.
