Lizzo posts heartfelt message as Beyoncé shouts her out on Renaissance Tour
Following her performance on the Pyramid stage at Glastonbury Festival 2023, Lizzo posted a heartfelt Instagram video, and shared the moment Beyoncé displayed her name over the crowd at her Renaissance tour.
In the clip, Lizzo watches as Beyoncé calls out her name amongst other iconic Black female artists as she performs “Break My Soul (The Queens Remix)", which included Betty Davis, Grace Jones, Nina Simone and Roberta Flack.
"In that moment I was thinking about baby me, listening to "Happy Face" by Destiny's Child and crying myself to sleep because of bullies," Lizzo captioned her post. "I thought about Beyoncé jumping into the room where Tina Turner was waiting to meet her for the first time. I think of what we all mean to people and how cyclical it is. We are all so infinitesimally and maximally connected and significant. It's an honour," she continued, thanking Beyoncé for her recognition.
At the Grammys, Lizzo explained how much Beyoncé has impacted her life from the ceremony’s main stage. She said: “You changed my life. You sang that gospel medley, and the way you made me feel, I was like, ‘I want to make people feel this way with my music.’ So thank you so much. You clearly are the artist of our lives.”
Lizzo is set to feature on the soundtrack to Greta Gerwig's forthcoming Barbie movie. The compilation project releases on 21 July, the same day the movie – starring Margot Robbie and Gosling – arrives in theatres worldwide.
