Growing up playing the flute and listening to classical music, Lizzo has continued to hone her musical skills, lending a unique sound to her music. Here, she announces her upcoming album via a custom made sweatshirt.
To promote inclusivity, Lizzo only uses plus-size dancers in her performances.
Lizzo credits the LGBTQ community for lifting her up and getting her to where she is now. She says her movement is about inclusion — no matter who you are or what group you may belong to — she doesn’t believe in boxes anyway. It’s clear she intends to evoke this same sense of togetherness not only in her daily life but through her performances as well.
