Lizzo is celebrating the manifestation of her long-time dream to appear on The Mandalorian, which saw some fans absolutely delighted while others were clutching their pearls.

The “It’s About Damn Time“ singer guest starred as Duchess Bombardier, co-ruler of Plazir-15 with Captain Bombardier (Jack Black) in this week’s episode of the Star Wars spinoff in what has since become a highly divisive episode for numerous reasons not exclusive to Lizzo’s appearance. The artist took to Twitter to mark the milestone with a sweet photo of herself surrounded by an adorable collection of Grogu dolls.

I’m in Star Wars YALL!

Others saw her in a role far more majestic than a duchess.
