Lizzo has been busy making TikToks, working on her reality show Lizzo’s Watch Out for the Big Grrrls, getting into the shapewear business with Yitty, and hitting the road. So I assumed she was too busy to make some new music while she was doing all of that. I was wrong.
Today, the singer released her new song, About Damn Time, and announced it is the first single off of her upcoming album. Special will be released on July 15th, and you can preorder it here.
If all of the songs sound like this dance track, then she has another hit record on her hands.
Watch her sing and act this weekend on Saturday Night Live when she is both the host and the performer. I bet she is going to surprise and wow us all.
Lizzo needs some dancers for her tour, so she teamed up with Prime Video to find them. Lizzo’s Watch Out for the Big Grrrls is the search for the next big things! And I am not talking about their weight.
The 8-episode first season starts out where we get to meet these future Lizzo dancers, and we find out why they want to dance for one of the greatest singers of this generation. Each one of them has been discriminated against because of their size, but they can move better than skinnier women.
By the end of the episode, we will find out which of the 13 will move on to her top 10. It is during this first elimination that we learn Lizzo doesn’t play by the competition series playbook. Her eliminations are unlike any we have ever seen, and she will keep us on our toes because of it.
Now that we know who is going to move on, it is time for their first competition. The contestants will have to dance to a marching band. Through this challenge, we will get to see how well they learn choreography and how much stamina they have. That is because if they get the job, they will have to dance for 90 minutes every night for several nights a week.
This elimination shows what a huge heart Lizzo has as she talks to the 10 remaining dancers. As each episode goes on, they will confront their pasts and break on through them. They will learn about self-confidence and be proud of who they are in the skin that they are in. They will be challenged mentally and physically and come out better for it.
At the end of the day, we will find out who will dance at Bonaroo with Lizzo. And at the end of that performance, we find out who will get to go on tour with her.
All I can tell you is to expect the unexpected because nothing goes as other reality shows go. Because of that, I love every minute.
Think of it as America’s Top Model, but with heart. Lizzo is the anti-Tyra Banks. She supports all of her contestants and encourages them at every step of the game. Even the eliminations are positive, and they understand why they were eliminated. And they know it won’t be the last time we see them.
We need more reality hosts like Lizzo and more shows like Lizzo’s Watch Out for the Big Grrrls.
So stream it now because you will enjoy every second of it! And when was the last time you said that about a competition series?
When I heard Adele’s Easy on Me for the first, I started to cry. I think most people were overcome with the feels.
However, when Lizzo listened to it, her body was overcome with wanting to dance to the ballad. So she got up from her chair and started to twerk to Adele’s powerful words. That is why she is who she is.
She sees the light in the darkness and goes for it. And now I can’t stop twerking to Adele’s songs. And let me tell you, Hello is an invitation for sex!
Remember a few years ago, there was this big controversy because Michael Bublé ate corn on the cob like it was a burrito? Well, the singer realized that Lizzo eats her burritos like it is corn on the cob. Therefore, they are perfect for each other because they complement each other’s eating quirks.
Now, I want them to do a duet. Could you imagine their voices on the same song? Their melodies are not too different.
Lizzo was on BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge today, and she performed a cover of BTS’s Butter. Since it is Lizzo, the rumors are true, and she made it her own but kept it the same.
Why this band? “I love the song, love how positive their music and how funky it is, so I was super excited to sing this,” she said. “I have dedicated my artistry to making positive music, and BTS does just that. The world has fallen in love with them because they are so sweet and pure and they’re just good-hearted. And I wanted to bring some positivity into the world via their song.”
I can’t wait for their duet because it will be like butter!
