^I think this success will hurt future singles from "Special". I'm glad ADT was a huge hit, but I want to see other songs on this album get similar radio/streaming love.

She seems like she has a fair shot at the EGOT.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS! I'm so fucking happy for this QUEEN!
I feel like I was thew only one who actually watched this show! The support she's given her Big GRRRLS in interviews, shows, music videos, etc. has been so awesome to see... she's a genuine BAD BITCH! <3
"When I look back at it, I be proud of myself Baby Lizzo would have been so down on herself"
Special is the best damn album of 2022!

I don’t think Lizzo is much of an actress, so she can get EGOT through other avenues. Her music style seems like it would work better in a Broadway musical over an Oscar-worthy movie.

You realize you can get an Oscar for a musical contribution, not just acting though, right? All it takes is the right song x movie combo. Hell, even Hard Out Here By A Pimp by Three 6 Mafia won an Oscar.

Even as a producer on the right film she could get an Oscar. It's just a matter of her being actually interested in movie making.

This was the best concert I’ve ever been to in my life. Radiated positivity and affirmation the whole time and being in her hometown made it emotional. God I love this woman.

Ahhh that's awesome and not surprising! So happy for you! I would love to see her in concert! I'm really hoping we get that Big Grrrls doc and I would LOVE a deluxe version of Special which is possible!

If we are to believe what she says in the message that closes the album - that she wrote 170 songs for this album - then a deluxe sure is possible! Was the first thing I thought about when I listened to Special all the way through. I must say, Special is one of very few current albums that I find listenable as a whole album.

Sure, sis! It's OK. Just embrace the audience you clearly write for and that your producers clearly produce for! I've made my peace with it. Either way, release Special as the next single and wrap up this era.

Idk anyone who isn’t white who loves Lizzo, certainly not any black people. I also don’t consider her to be a “cross over” artist—she’s always done straight up pop music.
