"Jimmy Fallon needs to book her for a whole week": Netizens praise Audrey Hobert's "Sue Me" performance on 'The Tonight Show'

Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter Audrey Hobert made her Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon debut on Tuesday night. She performed her viral single "Sue Me" live for the first time on television. She left social media abuzz with performance clips and notable reactions. One fan stated,

"I literally cannot stop replaying Audrey Hobert's "Sue Me" performance from last night's Tonight Show and now I am convinced Jimmy Fallon needs to book her for a whole week because three minutes was not enough and my neighbors are probably sick of me singing it through the walls"

Before "Sue Me" became one of 2025’s most-streamed indie pop singles, Audrey Hobert was relatively better known as the creative one behind several of Gracie Abrams’ most talked-about songs, including "That’s So True" and "I Love You, I'm Sorry."

Fans were quick to jump into the comment section of the X post, sharing their reactions about Audrey Hobert's performance on the show. Below are some of their reactions:

"Audrey Hobert lit up The Tonight Show stage with her performance of Sue Me effortless vocals confident energy and a sound that felt both raw and polished at once. A breakout moment for sure, she completely owned that performance on Fallon", lauded an X user.

"Audrey Hobert on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon had me thinking this isn’t just another performance, it’s like they put the whole vibe of that song right up front and didn’t hold back, and I can’t say I’m totally here for it since it feels a bit too staged for my taste, plus Jimmy Fallon’s usual antics don’t help tone down the whole scene, so yeah, it’s something that’ll stick around in your head but maybe not for all the right reasons", shared another.

"Now that’s a performance I'd love to catch! Nothing like a bit of cheeky charm to brighten up a Tuesday afternoon, did she leave Jimmy speechless?", asked a third.

Others also chimed in:

"Another ‘Tonight Show’ performance hyped as must-watch but really, it’s just corporate promotion of mediocrity. Talent gets packaged and sold while substance takes a backseat, turning art into marketing spectacle.", penned a netizen.

"Kinda disagree, it's pop, not political commentary. Her song "Sue Me" is a single from her debut album Who's the Clown? and is about wanting an ex after a breakup. Tbh, it's just a catchy, self-aware title that fits the electro-pop vibe. Why do we always overthink pop lyrics?", commented another.

"It’s so obvious when an artist is a nepo baby. And this is coming from someone who likes her music. It’s not even about the music being good or not. They just all give something similar, Gracie, Clairo, Audrey.", opined a third.

In a recent statement, Audrey Hobert spoke about her current presence in music:

"It's interesting. I've never been so busy and in demand, and I've never felt, yeah, just more... What I was going to say was, I have never felt more special. But I've actually felt way more special at other times in my life; I just feel busy and seen in a new way."

She also added:

"I am trying as hard as I possibly can to just be in the present moment, which is cliché, but it's true. I think it's easy when you're this busy, going from place to place, to forget about [the moment] because you're meeting so many people and going to so many new places, so I'm just trying to take in as much as I can and stay grounded and real."

Following her debut album drop, Audrey Hobert is officially set for her Staircase to Stardom tour later this year. The upcoming show dates are as follows:
