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.Uhhh, LizzoBangers and Big Grrrl Small World say hi... Batches and Cookies was not pop! Anyway(!cue music!) The Love, Lizzo doc has me shook, one of the Big Grrrls let it slip awhile ago so they must be in it too! BOOKED AND BLESSED!

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. do you know any people who love Lizzo? how many Black people do you know enough to know their music taste? the "pop music is for white people" narrative is so tired. Lizzo has many Black listeners and many non-Black listeners. not sure what the deal is, her music is feel-good music and it's for everyone and that's... fine? she must be sick of hearing she makes "white music" over and over when she has her roots in hiphop and r&b. people aren't bringing this up when talking about Kanye's, Drake's, The Weeknd's music, who all draw massively non-Black crowds, so why is it brought up for Lizzo? why are people so eager to try to invalidate her Blackness? she's a Black pop star and she appeals to a wider demo. so what? we're also not going to sit here and pretend "Phone," "Tempo," and "Jerome" (for which she won a Traditional R&B Grammy, ffs) are "white people songs" or pure pop. clearly you don't know the artist you're talking about because she certainly has not "always done straight up pop music." as mentioned, Lizzobangers and Big Grrrl Small World are both hip hop albums, and Cuz I Love You has a blend of genres including pop, r&b and hip hop. and for the record, I have several IRL friends who are Black and who happen to rock with Lizzo. one of them got us tickets to her show. Black people aren't monolithic and Lizzo's music isn't "white" just because it doesn't check your boxes for what is "Black" and what is not.

I don’t think anyone is trying to invalidate Lizzo’s blackness? She just has a really white fan base and there’s nothing wrong with that. I know a group of people who love Lizzo; they have some things in common with her but being Black is not one of them.

I absolutely love "Rumors". One of my favorite Lizzo songs and so underappreciated/underserved in my opinion. So happy to see them both performing it together! That radiating positive energy was infectious...had a smile on my face the whole time watching and didn't even know it! And she had the legend herself Misdemeanor..what a show!

What are their plans for a third single? "2 Be Loved" peaked quite some time ago on radio (sadly). I'm guessing they're waiting until the New Year to announce since things are slowing down for the holidays?

What are their plans for a third single? "2 Be Loved" peaked quite some time ago on radio (sadly). I'm guessing they're waiting until the New Year to announce since things are slowing down for the holidays? A version of "Special" featuring SZA is coming soon. Likely to be pushed as the third single come new year. In the meantime, Lizzo's amazon exclusive "Someday At Christmas" will likely help keep her name out there during the holidays. It's already doing quite well in the UK and if amazon work their magic like they do every year it stands a good chance of going top 10 or even top 5 over the next couple weeks. Really happy the UK is embracing Lizzo so much. "2 Be Loved (I'm Ready)" went top 20 (#16 peak) here and had a decent chart run. It recently went silver for 200k units sold. This was following "Rumours" peaking at #20 and "About Damn Time" peaking at #3. "Someday At Christmas" is likely going to be her 4th top 20 hit a row! A hit maker we love to see. :'(

I’m watching her documentary. It makes me love her even more. Crazy level of vulnerability and real emotions throughout. Can’t remember ever seeing a celebrity doc like this. Feels very raw.
