Lizzo is a true Queen. She is using her platform to give a spotlight to those working toward positive change in the world. Just when I think I couldnโt stan this woman anymore, she does this.

I'm crying at my desk after watching that speech. OMFG, THAT is how you use a platform.

She didn't even stutter. Not once. Not that it would've made any difference, I'm just saying, she was really born to do this.

God am I so happy I opened this thread today and watched that speech, I'm not crazy over her recent album but my god she has only been mainstream for only a few years and with one speech has used her platform to speak about more important things than other artists and celebrities have done over their lifetimes. She truly deserves the world and all the success she gets, could not be more happier for an artist in the modern often dull and lifeless mainstream music world.
That speech needs to be shared everywhere!!!

Watching Lizzo for years (shout out My Skin!) she is legit, like she doesn't just pull a Katy/Luke/Lionel and say "woW YoUr VoiCe AnD TaLeNt Are THe Best ThING I hAve ExpIRenCed In thIs LifE, We HavE to MakE mUSIc/rEcORd aN AlbUM/ Tour/ EtC sO oTheRS cAn WitNEss You" and then *crickets*
She for years has given back behind the scenes without shouting it... Love her so much and SHE is the moment AND the decade!

Love when an artist uses their voice AND follows it up with action. She could have spent that whole time talking about herself and chose to highlight some incredible people doing incredible things in the country.

Special, Break Up Twice, and The Sign have all grown on me after deciding the give the album another chance following that speech. We need that Special remix with SZA like immediately though cause (if my pfp and signature doesn't give it away) I'll eat that up so hard.

I'M SO HAPPY (no disrespect to The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, not a fan)
Wonder is she'll do Special ft SZA? and 2 Be Loved is done with and she already did Special...
So exciting... Maybe she'll kick off the next single:
I Love You Bitch The Sign Birthday Girl
are my votes!

The next single is likely Special ft. SZA so probably a couple album tracks?
I love her but her nod for AOTY is a good example of why they should go back to five nominees. ADT sweeping would be fine by me though.

I can easily see Lizzo being shut out this year, same with Adele. This is Harry's and Beyonce's year.

Not surprised, but I love her for changing/removing Balenciaga lyric in It's About Damn Time...

Just watched the Concert Special and it was fantastic. :) The surprise guests were a great touch!
PS - I LOVE that the industry appreciates her and her talent and what she brings to the table. I fell in love with LIZZO instantly and Iโm reminded of it every time I watch her.

The next single is likely Special ft. SZA so probably a couple album tracks? The way we were cheated and lied to but then again it involves SZA so are we really surprised?

Fell in love with her all over again after watching the doc; she deserves the world! Wish this album era got better treatment though but if the songs start blowing up in 2024, I wonโt be mad.

Now is the perfect timing to push that "Special" remix with SZA.
I've been hearing "Birthday Girl" a lot lately also.

Break Up Twice needs to be a single at a later point too.

Grammy performance with SZA remix of "Special" please! I can see it being a big hit with SZA attached. Particularly on R&B/Ubran/Rhythmic.
We should start getting the Grammy performers announced in the next week or so, fingers crossed Lizzo is performing!

She's one of the biggest nominated artists of the year. There's no way on earth she is not performing.
I am curious about the SZA situation. I'm not sure how keen SZA's team would be on having 3 active singles at once. She has 2 songs in the top 25 on pop radio right now. A third may cannibalize radio play even though Lizzo would be 1st billed upon the release. Could certainly be a factor as to why we haven't gotten any news.
