After a whirlwind week, Kanye West took the Saturday Night Live stage just minutes after midnight to perform "High Lights" off The Life of Pablo. He was joined by Young Thug, The Dream, Kelly Price, and El DeBarge. (You can watch the full performance here.) People on Twitter were especially shocked to see the DeBarge singer join West onstage and be a part of the song:

Ok... The cat is out of the bag... Turn on SNL 😉
