Lizzo has once again proved herself to be one of the best names in music as she has sent a fan her AMA’s dress to wear to an event.
The fan responded by saying that they were “speechless.”
“Words don’t suffice, and thank you isn’t enough. But THANK YOU!”
The singer wrote: “It’s easy to be kind.”
Read on for the full story, and to see the dress in question!
Lizzo’s third studio album, Cuz I Love You, is a total masterpiece.
But it’s not just the brilliant music that she makes that has garnered Lizzo such a legion of fans.
There’s so much more to the star…
For one thing, she’s totally unique.
Which other plus-size, dance-trained, hip-hop artist plays the flute in almost all of her songs?
Truly, Lizzo is one of a kind.
But what’s even more important than her talent?
It’s gotta be Lizzo’s incredible message. Her lyrics are all designed to inspire self-love and confidence — particularly in young women. In a world of problematic messages, she’s a real force for good.
Lizzo has dominated the stage for several years now.
Gaining some pretty high-profile fans along the way.
At the BET Awards back in 2019, there was one audience member who was truly losing her mind over Lizzo’s performance…
Rihanna.
And at the MTV Video Music Awards that same year, Lizzo made even more famous fans.
At the VMAs, the audience was pretty much all going wild for Lizzo — including Queen Latifah.
And late in 2019, Lizzo was cemented as a true icon.
The star was named TIME’s Entertainer of the Year. She was recognized for her trailblazing message of body positivity, advocacy for self-love, and her “relentlessly positive and impossibly catchy” sound.
It’s a truly impressive achievement.
“Attending a Lizzo concert feels like worshipping at the church of self-love, if your preacher was a pop star living joyfully in a big black body, delivering a sermon of self-acceptance that’s as frank as it is accessible,” author, Samantha Irby, wrote for TIME magazine.
Lizzo opened up to the magazine about being an advocate for body positivity:
“I’ve been doing positive music for a long-a** time. Then the culture changed.”
“There were a lot of things that weren’t popular but existed, like body positivity, which at first was a form of protest for fat bodies and black women and has now become a trendy, commercialized thing.”
“Now I’ve seen it reach the mainstream. Suddenly I’m mainstream! How could we have guessed something like this would happen when we’ve never seen anything like this before?” the songstress told TIME.
And even now, the world’s love for Lizzo continues to grow with her success.
2020 saw her nominated for eleven awards at the Billboard Music Awards and she won one for Top Song Sales Artist.
The same year, she also performed a sold-out show at the Sydney Opera House…
The same place she had previously performed as a young flute player.
But it seems life isn’t all positivity for Lizzo.
As the singer has revealed the struggles she has faced in her past…
In an interview with Rolling Stone, she revealed she had even been temporarily homeless.
After dropping out of college, Lizzo lived in her car while struggling to break through as a rapper.
She struggled with her self-esteem and was deeply unhappy.
But when she moved to Minneapolis and broke through onto the local music scene, things seriously began to pick up for the star…
And her fortune is impressive!
It’s estimated that she’s earned $16.5 million from music sales, plus an extra $8.8 million from her extensive tours.
But that’s not all…
She’s had brand deals with many big companies, including Dove, Urban Decay, Absolut Vodka, Google Pixel 6, Logitech, and Quay, which helped line her pockets further!
And on top of this, there’s Yitty.
Yitty is Lizzo’s shapewear brand with Fabletics, which is reportedly a huge financial success!
Plus, there’s Watch Out for the Big Grrrls.
Lizzo’s reality show airs on Amazon Prime, and even won an Emmy!
And how is Lizzo celebrating all of this success?
Well, she’s invested in an incredible $26 million mansion.
She never fails to put on a show…
But Lizzo has faced her fair share of trolls in her time.
She wore a rather revealing dress to Cardi B’s birthday party which had many questioning her taste levels…
“She needs to respect herself! That’s the main problem for me. Big little or tiny anything in between. The woman should respect themselves to not show their entire bodies to everyone,” one person wrote.
But Lizzo has hit back at the trolls in an Instagram video…
“It’s very funny to me that people are upset that I’m wearing a see-through outfit or that I’m twerking in a see-through outfit,” she said, as per Entertainment Tonight.
“Let people live, bro. Let people wear whatever the f*** they wanna wear!” she finished.
Lizzo has taken on the trolls once more…
One fan said: “Love Lizzo for being unapologetic about being herself!”
“She respects herself, her body — that’s true love. I admire that so much about her. ‘Cuz I’m my own soulmate, I know how to love me,” another agreed.
“♉️WELCOME TO TAURUS SEASON♉️,” Lizzo wrote in the caption to her now-deleted nude selfie.
“To celebrate I wanna give y’all this unedited selfie… now normally I would fix my belly and smooth my skin but baby I wanted to show u how I do it au naturel.”
Lizzo also shared that she’s sharing the picture to celebrate the Dove Self-Esteem Project to help “change the conversation about beauty standards.”
We love a body-positive queen!
And now, the thirty-four-year-old has once again shown herself to be a gem of the industry.
The star responded to a fan’s TikTok requesting that she could borrow one of her awards show dresses.
The fan requested that they could borrow Lizzo’s iconic Emmy’s dress from earlier this year, as per Today.
The poet and author Aurielle Marie requested the dress for the Out100 gala.
“I can’t find anything, anywhere that is big b**** and red carpet ready. And I need to show out,” Marie said.
However, the singer responded by saying Marie couldn’t have the Emmy’s dress as the star “completed destroyed” it on the night of the awards.
But she did offer up another one of her iconic looks…
In fact, the dress in question is this one that she performed in during the 2019 American Music Awards ceremony.
“My AMAs dress was very similar to my Emmys dress and just as cute, honestly. So I found it in my storage, I got it cleaned and shipped it out,” the star said in her own TikTok.
