Have you checked out Lizzo yet? If you haven’t, you’ve definitely heard of her music - “Good As Hell” was virtually everywhere in 2017, and she was most recently featured as a guest judge on season 10 of RuPaul’s Drag Race. To say her star is rising is selling her short.
Most notably, Lizzo mixes big diva vocals with relatable stream-of-consciousness lyrics ("Phone" is literally about Lizzo searching for her misplaced cell phone) and body positivity galore. The face of ModCloth’s “Say It Louder” campaign, the “Fitness“ singer wants the world to know that physical health is not summarized in a number on a scale and love the body you have. Lizzo loves Lizzo, and Lizzo wants people to love themselves as much as she does - check this quote from Gay Times: "A lot of people will say to me, 'I'd never be able to wear that, or say that, or talk to that person, how do you do it?' And I'm like, 'Well, you need a confidence boost', because we're taught to hide that part of ourselves, and hide our sexuality, and hide our bodies. We're taught to not talk about what we like. I think that I just had a confidence boost from somebody, from my friends, and then I hyped myself up and I was like, 'Yeah, I can do this'. When I started doing it, I realized so many people needed to see and hear these things from someone like me. Now, it feels like I'm liberating people when I do it, and that's also such a liberating feeling for me. It just felt right, it was a very natural progression for me." |

Not only is she a powerhouse musician and performer and on a mission that can best be described as remarkable, but she also has one truly epic Instagram. Not just selfies and images from photoshoots, we get a real peek into the behind-the-scenes world of touring as one true diva who isn’t afraid to be a little edgy. We've got photos of Lizzo - shout out for showing your head wrap before bedtime, Lizzo! - all over the world, we've got twerking videos. But by far the best part? The captions. Every morning I scroll through Lizzo’s Instagram and find humor, confidence boosters, and no lack of energy.
Some great examples: |
Lizzo knows she’s a gift and wants us all to know. |
Look at her all relaxed and glamorous! Anna Wintour, put this girl in your pages! |
This should be you. Every morning. In the mirror. |
Sometimes it's easy to forget that Instagram isn’t reality, and Lizzo’s advice is real - close your eyes, count to ten. Not every comment needs to be posted. |
These are her *backup dancers*. Your squad wishes. |
Let. Lizzo. Plan. Everyone's Birthday. |
Lizzo almost forgot she was so sexy. We didn't, though. |
